Hi Anonymous,
December 1, 2010 - 9:37amThank you for your question and for finding EmpowHER.
Have you asked the doctor about treatment for your cyst? Many cysts clear up on their own, but others require surgery to remove them. Three weeks seems like a long time to be bleeding, especially while on birth control. Have you contacted your doctor about this? Is it breakthrough bleeding or the cyst causing the bleeding? What pain are you on the lyrica for? Do you have a separate condition? Sounds like you may need follow-up care, and if you're not pleased with the treatment from your doctor, you can search out a different doctor. Ask friends or relatives if they have a gynecologist they like and ask for a consultation appointment.
