Default The pill and your age....?

Hi, I need advice, please ...I am 28 years old, i have been on the pill to treat my pcos since i was 15. if i am not on the pill i get cysts theat can grow pretty large and then pop, or rupture. i recently about 7 month ago stopped taking my bcp yasmin, i stared getting bad problems with it. my heartstarted getting pretty severe palpatations and irregular heart beat that would keep me up all night making me think i was dying. after being to the er, i was diagnosed out of no where with panic disorder. so i stopped the pill. it went away, my heart beat is now normal and i am doing good, my hair grew back and i have managed my acne by changing my diet and topicals. now i am getting severe ovary pain and swelling. i dont want to be on the pill, because of my heart with yasmin. my ob doesnt seem to care when i tell her about my palps. should i remove my ovaries, has any one done this? what happens if i do? will i have to be on hormones if i remove them? also should i try bcp again but a differant kind? i dont want more palps. ia m also very dizzy and tired. despite my perfect diet and being at a thin healthy weight. i am still getting cysts.anyone still taking the pill safely at around my age or older? jsut need some advice.

If the only problem is ovary pain, then having your ovaries removed could be a solution. Just don't confuse it with getting rid of PCOS altogether!

I would advise trying a different BCP first. It's very likely that one particular medication could be causing the problems, and a different one would be fine.

Oh there are lots of people older than you taking BCP. I am taking Yaz at 46. My doctor suggested I try it for about a year to try to thin the lining of my uterus and get rid of my extreme cramps. It has worked. I just wonder if all the pain will come back when I stop in a few months.
