Want to get pregnant but have ovarian cysts

[HMorton]

I was diagnosed with poly cystic ovarian syndrome when I was 16.  The doctor put me on birth control and told me that the pill would make the cysts go away.  I was on the pill for a year and it did not help.  I went to my dr again when I was 24 and was told the same thing.  The dr again prescribed birth control and told me everything would be fine.  I'm having severe pain on my left side and some pain on my right side.  I want to have kids sometime in my life but I don't think i'll ever be able to.  I can't take birth control anymore.  Any type of birth control makes me sick now.  Can you please help?  Will I be able to conceive sometime in the future or not?  Will I need to get any sortof treatment done?  Will I ever need a hysterectomy?

You could try the fertility forum or the Gyn forum, both are Dr to patient forums.  PCOS, which is what you have is different from the types of cysts we generally post about here.  They may be able to help you.

All my best.
