Get another doctor - if you ahve a cyst that big on your ovary, in pain, and he gave you birth control for that there is something wrong.  If you have pressure on your bladder too - there is something going on.  GET ANOTHER DOCTOR - get a pelvic abdominal sonogram or cat scan and
get a CA125 blood test to check for ovarian cancer.  Get a copy of your reportso from these tests.  Go to your primary or even an internist for help but definitely get another opinion.
