Basically, the pill can cause alot of health problems. There have been people that have died from heart attacks, blood blots, etc. Mainly, DO NOT SMOKE and your chances of anything bad happening will be very very small. Also, watch your weight too. Gaining weight is another problem that could occur. I was on the pill for about 2 years, and I didn't have any problems at all. Now I am on the Nuva Ring and I love it.

you should see your doctor about this who can refer you to have them removed laprascopicly. I had several removed about 8 years ago and i also had some before that which erupted on their own which did cause quite an amount of pain and discomfort. Once the cysts are removed they may come back and you may be faced with the prospect of having polycystic ovaries which can affect your ability to become pregnant, however if they are small like you say, talk to your doctor about this, you will probably find that it will not affect you chances of becoming pregnant just good medical management, I myself have two beautiful children and it didnt take me long to concieve at all...good luck and remember speak to your doctor..he/she can provide the best answers for you.

Just relax, being that you had birth control in your system it affects the start time of your period.  Don't worry just give it a little bit, and you can always contact your doctor about the matter.  Also, being that you were spotting, it shows that your body is at least trying to prepare itself to officially start.

When you first begin menstruating, most girls are irregular.  If after turning 18/19 and if your doctor agrees, you could seek treatment to make your periods regular (though they will almost definitely be more regular then).  Hormones (in birth control pills) have side effects and you should keep your use of them to a minimum, especially when you are still developing and maturing.

Going to the gyno is very important, wether you are a virgin or not.  They say you should start going at age 18, no matter what your sexual status is, unless you are younger and sexually active.  The doctors understand that probably 99% of women feel the same way you too.  How do you expect to have children if you don't want anyone looking down there? lol Sorry, anyways, you really do need to go for your own health.  You may have HPV and not know it, since there are no signs or symptoms, but it can be a very serious health issue.  Nobody can tell you what to do, but this is somewhere you need to go eventually, and putting it off isn't going to help.  Maybe have a friend go with you? It might sound even wierder, but it may also be comforting.  Good luck to you.

Many women especially young girls often have irregular periods – there is nothing wrong with you, we are all different.   \n\nYour body takes time to mature, it doesn’t happen overnight – I had my second 5 months after my 1st and then ever 2 or 3 months fro 4 years.  Now I’m complete regular – every 29 ½ days exactly and I never took birth control…   \n\nBirth control is a medicine and it does have side effects, some serious SO think careful about it and talk to you doctor about it.\n \nThe best advice I can give is always carry a feminine hygiene product - ob is good because it is so tiny / discrete ;)

I have had no bad side effects from taking birth control. Birth Control has helped me so much...I know exactly when i will start my period, I have less bleeding, less cramping, shorter periods, and best of all no acne..I used to have breakouts alot and now I have none!! It really is great...not to mention I dont have to worry about pregnancy.

To whom it may concern,\n\nIt could be oarian cyst or it could be that you are pregnant? If I were you, I would go to my doctor and have a pregnancy test done and ask for other tests to come along with it. So that way you can be safe knowing the answers instead of having to do it later in life.

Yes you should see your doctor since this has never happened before. Maybe there is something going on that your doctor needs to know about. When I was on birth control I NEVER had a period. So maybe it's normal, but I don't think so because you said that this was the first time it has happened. So go and see your doctor. Hopefully he can put your mind at ease.

Try not to worry too much, but it's good that you're seeing the doctor. Harmless ovarian cysts are very common and can cause strange menses, but often a short or otherwise abnormal mense is seemingly caused by nothing at all.

A virgin is someone who has never had vaginal intercourse/vaginal penetration.\n\nBirth control pills can regulate a woman's menstrual cycle.\n\nScreen shot: http://i12.tinypic.com/2z9fp6e.jpg

Definitely not. I have quite a few friends that didn't get theirs until they were 18. Enjoy not dealing with it for as long as you can! No white pant worries, no running to the bathroom worried about whether you have sufficient supplies, no late night trips to the grocery for midol. No cramps....I envy you.

There is no danger to your health. \n\nPoly Cystic Ovarian Disease can cause pain and missed periods. It can also make it dificult to concieve children. A diabetic diet and prescribed hormone tablets are the usual way of dealing with PCOD. Magnisium and chromium suppliments are also helpful.\n\nSometimes a woman will get a cyst on the overies when she is pregnant. It can get quite large but after the child is born the cyst dissapears. This is a normal occurance.\n\nOther types of cysts require surgical removal. \n\nYour girlfriend obviously has already been to a doctor and had her particular condition diagnosed. As you can see from the above, there are a number of diferent types of cysts. The best source of information regarding the type she has will come from your girlfriend's doctor.

tell her to go to a free clinic and go on the pill.  I have polycystic ovary syndrome....and at any given time would have 6-7 cysts on both ovaries.  They don't nec. cause pain or any problems.  Cysts occur in all women at the time of ovulation...that's how the ovary 'shoots' out the egg into the fallopian tube.  They aren't a big deal...but the pill will help...because you won't ovulate anymore...thus no more cysts forming.  The only reason you would need surgery is if one gets large...but this is rare.

Have you had your hormone levels checked? Birth control pills are usually the method most doctors are familiar with, however they need to determine the cause for your irregular bleeding and try to attack that. Some of the causes can be a irregular production of hormones or policystic ovaric syndrom or something like that.\n\nIf you take pills the only thing you do is to stop the problem temporarily, while you're taking them, and when you stop it comes back again.\n\nSo get checked until you find what's causing you taht, the sooner you discover it, the easier it will be to treat it and you can stop it from complicating further, what if it is causes by a tumor near your pituitary gland or something that can cause you infertility.\n\nI don't say this to gat you scared, some women have to live with irregular periods all their lives, but get checked. If you don't trust your gynecologist, I recommend you an endocrinologist, they are more experienced in relation to hormonal and gland problems.\n\nGood luck!
