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
