Just doesn't sound like fun. But so far, everyone I've asked has said to just try it out and that's it not a big deal.
I am just concerned about one thing Kaian: are you sure there are only follicular cysts there? You could also be having dermoid cysts and that could be much more problematic in the mid- or long-term.

Besides, I have never experienced mood swings on the pill, and if taken at the same time every day it shouldn't cause spotting. I have never gained weight either, if you're active this shouldn't really be an issue... If this latter point is really a concern (weight gain), supposedly "Jasmine" is a new pill that is especially good on preventing that.

Good luck...
