Hi Laura, I can't be much help but I'm in the same boat. I have a few more prostap injections to have them I have to decide. My gynaecologist is one of the best and she recommended a mirena coil however my husband and I want to try for a baby when I feel better so it's a little long term for us. She has told us to research and decide but she highly recommends the coil to stop any growth and symptoms. She says it's the best way to stop it coming back.

Microgynon has helped subside the pain. But not that I have 2 cyst in my left ovary its affecting my period pains. But microgynon helped a lot.

I was on Yaz and had lots of bleeding and pain. I had a Mirena inserted and put on Microgynon 20 and then was switched to Microgynon 30, but neither of them stopped my bleeding. I am now taking Norimin, combined with the Mirena, which seems to be working. I have less pain and I rarely bleed now.
