Hello
You are prescribed meprate i.e. MEDROXYPROGESTERONE 10 mg twice in day for 3 months.
The side effects of meprate are as following.
Depression , fluid retention, fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, headache, nausea, BREAST TENDERNESS , weight gain/loss, anorexia, cholestatic jaundice.
You are having chocolate cyst and medroxyprogesterone is indicated for menorrhagia
Mild to moderate endometriosis
breast cancer, secondary amenorrhea .
Breast cancer ,
palliative treatment for endometrial carcinoma.
So you can take this drug for one month more .
In my opinion get in ultrasound of both ovaries and find out the exact nature of type of cyst.
Consult one more gynecologist and get his opinion about this cyst.
Good luck.
