HELP! I can't take this pain anymore

Long story...let's see if I can get it straight and not confuse anyone : )

I'm 30yrs old, mother, married...

2010 had 10cm cyst on left ovary, had surgery and both cyst and ovary removed. 2011 had another cyst on right ovary 7cm, had surgery to have removed and also had endometriosis pretty bad. Also I've had abnormal pap and "scoop" done due to high grade abnormal cells, repeated paps every couple months have been fine.

Now I have had another cyst only 5 3/4cm on my right ovary again. Have been watching it for 5-6 months now. Still there, very painful somedays. To bend, walk, have sex. Because of my age my dr really doesn't want me to have a hysterectomy but given my history I could have another surgery to remove cyst and another will just form again. I am ready to have hysterctomy now! I want the pain to end! I just don't know what to expect from a hysterctomy? My husband and I are fine with having no more kids. I just am affraid of the effects of the hysterctomy, mood swings etc. I have had mood changes since my first ovary was removed. Depression, irritabilty, loss of motivation. I recently started taking sarafem the week prior and week of my peiod to help with those mood issues. It's helped..but this cyst is driving me nuts! What should I do?? Any advice on this woud be so much appreciated!

Thank you!

I don't see why you couldn't.  You would be on the pill to calm the cysts, not for the contraception effect.  In other words, it would be a "cyst medicine."  Why hasn't your doctor talked to you about it?  It was the first thing out of my sister's doctor's mouth when she had a big ovarian cyst one time.

I have an IUD, my dr has mentioned me going on the pill, but I won't take out my IUD. Don't think I can take both? When I was on the pill before I got pregnant twice! What I've read pill isn't very effective

You can't go on the Pill?  Has the doctor suggested this or ruled it out?  It's often the treatment of choice for ovarian cysts.
