A member asked:

22 yrs old, will my endometriosis and cysts on my ovaries come back if i stop my bc pills? also can i ever have a baby on my own with endo and cysts?

Dr. Adam Levy answered

Yes and yes: Stay on the ocp. Don't stop until you actively seek pregnancy. You hopefully will have successful pregnancy when desired. Read more about endometriosis at American College of obgyn on line in patient resources.
