i did not have regular cycles for months before going by the doctor. so i took them one thursday. i guess it was the cyst that was causing that the doc could not tell me what cyst it is but say it should go away and there is nothing to worry about. they always say that. i just dont want to get pocs cause my aunt is suffering from it. does that meani will get it too?

The discharge could have to do with the cysts. I have had the same scenario while dealing with my two, complex cysts. I have not started BC yet, but my gyno gave me Safyral to start during my next cycle.
Everyone is right also- your body takes time to adjust to the pills. A good three months to fully adjust is usually normal.
Did you start the pills on the Sunday of your cycle or did you start right away? That could affect your body adjusting also.. if you did not start during your cycle then your body might be trying to fight with the hormones to regulate itself.

Well for me, I know I have to be on birth control for 3 months consecutively for the cyst to go away. Hopefully for you, as you're TTC that wont be the case!

The first month or so of going onto the pill is always a pain as you're body goes through an adjustment

thanks. i just hate taking those pills. the bleeding and pain and tender breasts are too much at one time for me. i just hope this cyst goes away fast!

The egg like stuff almost sounds like ovulation. Even though you are just starting the pill, it can take your body 3 months to adjust to it. So it may have possibly been ovulation?
