i guess it is possible but you are correct. oral contraception prevents ovulation by hormonal manipulation so the chance of getting an cyst related to ovulation (corpus luteum) cyst would be unlikely. with that said there are other kinds of cysts and other medical reasons to account for your symptoms so an ultrasound would be helpful to make that determination.
can you get ovarian cysts on birth control? . i've been having pains in my lower left abdomen for at least a month now and my doctor told me it could be ovarian cysts. i'm on birth control though and i thought birth control was supposed to prevent them; i've been on ortho tri cyclen for at least six months now. does anyone know if it's possible to still get these cysts while on birth control? . i am scheduling an ultra sound soon i just wanted to see if anyone had input for this.
