A member asked:

I have 3 small fibroids and a few small fluid filled ovarian cysts would switching from sprintec 28 to lo loestrin fe affect the size of the fibroids?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe, maybe not: All oral contraceptive pills contain small amounts of estrogen which can be absorbed by the uterine fibroids and sometimes enhance their enlargement. Some women with fibroids are unaffected by the use of oral contraceptive estrogen and the fibroids show no growth over time.
