I am 36 and had a 7cm complex cyst on my left ovary that had twisted (in march this year)..prior to the cyst twisting, my ob/gyn had placed me on Ortho Tricycline birth control pills to "shrink" the cyst, unfortunately a month later i ended up having emergency surgery resulting in the removal of my left ovary/fallopian tube, luckily the cyst was benign. BUT the dr kept me on the birth control pills for hormone control?? they made my periods erratic, i felt depressed and jut not myself...so i quit taking them 2 weeks ago, feel better already just worried about hormonal stuff?? wondering if anyone has had this same problem??? help please!!! :)
