Ovarian Cysts
"I started bc for one main reason, ovarian cysts. It workes great.  I was on it for five months and had no pain from cysts the entire time. It also worked great to prevent pregnancy. There were no issues except one.  I gained at least 20lbs in 5 months from it. I usually fluctuate from 112 to 115lbs. No more than that.  Well once i started bc I had the appetite of a teenage boy. I was eating non stop!  I&#039;m sure the weight can be controlled if you are dedicated to a strict diet though.  So I got off the bc two weeks ago and I have already lost 8lbs. The reason I chose to get off is because of the weight gain.  Now  I have to trade it all in for the cysts again."
