I also have ovarian cysts and my Dr. also wanted to put me on the pill. Well needless to say I get very bad mygrain headaches from the pill. Sometimes my cysts burst and sometimes they don't. They grow and shrink every month - they say their is nothing they can do about it - only if they stay to big they will remove them. Always on the same ovary and I always have alot of pain on that side. So I live with the pain - I'm glad that the pill works for you - remember that taking the pill has some bad side affects also. Good Luck
