A member asked:
How long do i have to take pill after endo and ovarian cyst removal? my doc said until pregnant, but no plan to have kids. when is best time to stop?

4-6 months: It is a treatment that you may want to continue to both suppress future ovarian cysts and endometriosis, not only birth control. Usually 4-6 months continuously low estrogen and progesterone. If you have high blood pressure or develop it or smoke, you will need closer monitoring. Always best to stop smoking if you do. No assumptions made, though.
