Hi Felicia,
I am sorry to hear about your cyst and certainly about the insurance issues also. According to Emedicine the following are possible risk factors for developing ovarian cysts:
History of previous ovarian cysts
Irregular menstrual cycles
Increased upper body fat distribution
Early menstruation (11 years or younger)
Infertility
Hypothyroidism or hormonal imbalance
Tamoxifen (Soltamox) therapy for breast cancer
Oral contraceptive/birth control pill use decreases the risk of developing ovarian cysts because they prevent the ovaries from producing eggs during ovulation.
How long have you been on birth control? Do you experience any pain?

Thank you for the additional information.
Missie
