What to do for ovarian cysts?

Hello beautiful mommas! I have an appointment on Thursday for hopefully some relief from ovarian cysts! I know that birth control is an option to help with them so if any of you know of any medication or birth control I can ask my doctor for to help with them please let me know! They used to rupture maybe once every year now they are rupturing 2-3 times a month and the pain is becoming unbearable! I have 2 kids and would like more but I’m ready to just ask them to remove my ovaries because the pain is becoming so bad and so often I don’t know what else to do please help me out mommas!!! I’m desperate at this point!

I used birth control to help mine, that is an awful pain. I have soaked in a bathtub of hot water to help with the pain.

Birth control was only thing help mine. Nuva ring was my favorite

I was on ortho 21 for about 7 years which controlled it nicely … bec of my age my Dr switched me to the depo shot and I haven’t had a period or any pain since October! It’s a miracle drug for me !

Birth control worked for a while but if you have PCOS then metformin works wonders

I used to have ovarian cysts pop all the time. Then I got pregnant and they went away. Doctor’s were confused, but I believe the blessing of a child can heal quite a bit. Including my blood clots on my lungs.

I was told by a doctor and read articles, if you have PCOS birth control can negatively affect your body. Idk if pcos is what causes your cysts. Just throwing that out there :woman_shrugging:

Metformin is supposed to help, and can also assist with ovulation.
