Hi there
I am not sure where to post this message so opted for here and in general health as I am a bit concerned about this and hoping someone has been through this as well (sorry don't mean in a bad way just to understand!) - fingers crossed.
I have been on the pill 25 years, a long time I know, I am on the mini pill and have been for about 10 years the rest of the time it was Loestrogen 20 and 30 which I have had no problems about.
Now lately I have no periods just PMT cramp for 2 - 4 days per month, white discharge and the other times a sharp left lower ovary pain due to a little 1.5cm cyst water one and the same on the right. I have never had these before. One on the right has got smaller luckily, just the one on the left appeared.
I had a UTI bladder infection in March then all this strange stuff happened...I am feeling a little lost as to what to do.
I have changed my diet to gluten free, diary free, sugar free and symptoms are so much better, no bloating, or stomach issues and feeling good apart from this once a month and sharp left pain like a stitch at times.
My doctor said I don't really need key hole to look at cyst or take out unless it gets bigger in size etc. Its a wait and see approach.
However I was thinking about coming off the pill, has anyone done this after their long time on there and anything bad with side effects at all?
thank you not sure what to do really...as trying to avoid key hole as I know cysts can come back but diet apparently does help I am told to dissolve them etc.
