Cysts?

Good Morning Ladies:

Yesterday I went for an ultrasound. You know the one where the tech has to rub that jelly over your abdomen to see inside and the one where they have to stick a probe in your vagina to see what's going on.  Yeah!  A lot of fun...Not!

Well, my doctor prescribed it because I had a little bit of bleeding out of the blue a couple weeks back. I was on hormones as you all know and I decided to stop taking them cold turkey (which is NOT recommended)!  I didn't know this.  Anyway, I had been having trouble sleeping again so I though it was the hormones.  Once I started feeling like maybe I should not have stopped due to some pressure I felt in my ovaries I took them again. However, the next morning I had an excruciating headache and discontinued them again.

So, my doc asks me if I'm still having hot flashes and I said "no", so she said I don't need them then.  Well, now I am having some hot flashes but they aren't bad.  However, she did decide that due to a random night of blood that I should have an ultrasound to rule out any problems i.e. uterus lining issues which would require a biopsy. 

Well, what they did find was a cyst on my right ovary so now I have to go back in 2 months to see if it went away on its own or stayed the same.  So I will let you all know how it goes soon enough.

Until then....

Lilia
