Accepted Answer

: There is insufficient information to be able to evaluate your management properly, but ovarian cysts are common, as is a delay in menses after a miscarriage, and your hormone levels sound normal.

It depends: There are ovarian cysts that will go away over time, and others that are more serious and need surgery.

See your dr about what kind of cyst you have.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Ovarian cysts are generated by ovulation monthly, and wax/wane with your estrogen levels. Birth control pills, depending on composition, can stimulate ovarian cysts, and can make things worse. Best idea is to talk this over with your OB if your BCP's are making things worse, can change the type and possibly lessen any symptoms
