maybe change bc?

hi ladies, i have posted several times on here since the first of the year. i have a cyst or lets say cyst like pain that i just cant get rid of. my last us/tvus showed only small follicular cysts, thats all. cant figure why i am still suffering. i was on oral bc for about a month, but not good about taking it so i went on the ortho evra patch. i have been on that non stop for about 4 months. sometimes i feel fine, other times i am in pain for days at a time. im wondering if maybe i should try a different bc? i have a appt with a gyno thursday, as i had just being seeing a physicians assistant prior. i really dont want to have surgery im toooo scared! any advice on what i should ask my dr?  once again, thanks!

Try to get an appointment with the actual doctor or get a second opinion from a gyn/onc.  They specialize in the female anatomy and they are your best bet.  Please keep us posted.  Kasie

have you had another ultrasound since than?  My GP gave me the patch but when i read up on it, i heard that it produces too much estrogen at one time and when i told my GYN that i was going to take that she said not to. Never said why but maybe for that reason?  I am on Marvelon 28 to stop ovulation.  I feel much better mentally, havent gained weight, and no more nausea.  I do however still feel ovulation pains plus phantom menstral pains.  I too have been here since Jan of this year and I am on the watch and wait.  I am not sure what to do.  However i have never had surgery.  I am not sure if i helped in any way just kinda feel like we are in the same boat.
