The Pill at 35 years old?
by GinaGrape, May 09, 2007 12:00AM
I have an appointment on May 18th. I have another cyst. I just know it. Bloating, gas, general stomach discomfort. Same as last time. Something new now, though. Flicking feeling in the left side of my stomach. Then it goes to stretching/general discomfort/hard feeling. TINY bit of BRIGHT red blood when I wipe after bowel movement. Not there after the third wipe. What is going on?
I have had a transvaginal, Pelvic and Abdominal CT scans and a CA-125. All clear, except for these reoccurring complex cysts that dissipate after a cycle or two.
I know my doctor wants to put me on the pill to stop ovulation. I am 35 years old and have NEVER taken birth control pills. I am afraid of blood clots due to my age.
I am sorry for rambling. I don't even know if I am asking a question or not:-)
Any advice welcome.

I'm 41 years old and taking a low-dose birth control pill due to possible endometriosis/elevated CA-125. My doctor is 43, and she says she takes them as well. The pill I'm on is Loestrin FE.
Of course, discuss your concerns with your doctor. Some OB/Gyn's regularly monitor their patients' blood pressure while they're on the pill if there is a concern about blood clots/stroke.
Hope this helps!
Can you tell a difference now that you are on the pill? Has it made your endo better? Do you feel better in general on The Pill?
I do not smoke, so hopefully I will be ok.
