Poly Cystic Ovary Disorder and Cycling Question

[Dianyla]

Well as we all know the surest way to make Aunt Flo show up is to go blow $10 on a peestick test. Without fail, every time I do this AF shows up the next day. I swear the old hag must own stock in EPT.

Isn't that the truth? LOL... Actually they have them at a local everything $1 store here. Considering it doesn't cost them that much to make the silly things it's pure profit for them.

OMG! You are so right about that one. If I could take back all the money I have spent on test I could have some sweet bike clothes right now.
I have had pocd sence I think I was 20 I had my first lump found when i was 16 so i guess it could ave even been before that. I have been on birth control sence I was 16 because of irregular periods. I have been preg twice. And don't hate me but neither was full term. I was to young and stupid. But now tey say i can't have kids and if i tried it would be an awful time. I have for tha past 6 years not had any cysts on my ovaries. So my periods have been almost normal. They gave me an iud a few years ago whic the first year I did not have aperiod at all. Now tis year it seems to be back to normal. They gave me a Iud calle Merina. It has a low dose of progesterone in it to keep the cysts at bay you could say. But i have been clear of them for a wile now. Of coarse they could come back any time.
Have you ever had one burst? I could not stand up for 10 days. And couldn't even walk the first 7 days. It was kill me pain. I was on some heavy duty pain meds too and it wasn't enough. Went to th ER twice. So I am happy they are gone for now. If you ever need to talk just pm me I happy to listen and talk.

I don't have PCOD but I've had ovarian cysts and had a few explosions of follicular cysts in there. I also had surgery to remove a big potato-sized dermoid cyst. I'm now on a higher dose pill to avoid more follicular cysts, and the small dermoid that's left is checked once in a while to make sure it's under control.

Anyway, YES, IT HURTS. A male nurse told me he was told by a female patient before me that she'd rather go through the pain of giving birth than have another of these crazy cysts again. Before I figured out what was happening, I had two separate events, both times while wearing a specific pair of high-heeled boots and walking for 2 km to go to school. I had to stop to sit on a bench and cry, bent in two.

Good luck girls... Good vibes your way.

I have several small cysts on both ovaries (based on an ultrasound that was done). I had a cyst burst in December and OMG, I thought I was dying. I was curled up in a ball shaking and was sore for like 3 days after. My doc prescribed low does BC pills, but I still have yet to take them. I was concerned about side effects of the pill since I have never taken them. I haven't had any problems since that horrible December thing, but sometimes I worry that one might be growing in there! Girl part problems suck!

I would take the bc pills. You can always stop. It take about three months to get your body used to them. And my guess is you will probabaly be fine. I never had any side effects. And the benifits are sometimes a good thing. I know that the bc keep the cysts from growing to large. At least that was the case with me. And I am lucky I have not had the wieght gain that some women have had from the cysts. I am surprised your dr is not being a little more forcful with you taking them. But then again you know your own body better then anyone.

[Grog]

The side effects from the birth control pill are much lower than the potential side effects of cysts, which may include having to undergo surgery. And with today's low-dose pill, I wouldn't be too worried...

I hope everything turns out fine for you!

[Brandi]

exactly. The iud they put me one which helps the cysts was also cause i was getting to the point where i was forgetting to take my pill. Which is probably cuase I had been on it for 16 years. I just got tired of having to take it every day. But like grog said they are so low dose these days the benefits out weigh the side effects definatly. If you are young I don't reccommend an iud, But if you are old like me (37) then I would go for the iud. It is so simple. Again it is the marina iud.
