Bcp- Birth control pill.  You can try taking it continuously to see if the pain subsides a bit.

They didn't tell me how big the cysts were just said I had them and that's probably what was causing my pain, I don't know if anything was removed because they couldn't read doctors notes. They said they weren't ruling out endometriosis, what is bcp? I hope I find out the information soon

That it could be a regular functional cyst, or endometriosis.  What size is the cyst?

When you had the lap did they not remove the cyst?  

Sometimes you can take the bcp to dissolve the cyst if its not an endometrioma, Endometriomas are blood filled and will only shrink by 20% I think.
