PLZ HELP
Hi Kanika,
I'm glad you went off the birth control pills. I do not recommend this at all or any kind of hormonal birth control method. I think there are too many side effects like what you described, in my opinion. Does your doctor suggest anything else? Are you trying to fixe the cysts or use for birth control? Please explain further. You can ask me a followup question or email me privately at CHERYL51@aol.com
Hope to hear from you soon.
