Expectant Mommy
Hello my dear ladies....
Say...I had a follow up u/s today after that cyst was discovered on my CT. I haven't gotten the official word yet but the tech (I know her so she gives me the scoop..lol)said it does look very much like an endometrioma because it is more "solid" looking than a regular corpus luteum,etc would be. She said it isn't super big..."about the size of my ovary". She asked me a lot about my periods and how many I've had since having Cooper...so I'm assuming my endometrial lining was extra thick again....(it always is). Anyways....is the recommendation generally to excise endometriomas...even if they aren't that big? I know it's painful...whatever it is.....I'm having stabbing right side pain, generalized bloating and aching of my belly, low back pain, nausea, and of course that hideous tailbone pain. I am certain it is all r/t the cyst and/or the return of my endo. Anyways...I know my regular doc mentioned bcp's or lupron. I would imagine they may help shrink up the cyst a bit..perhaps??.....but I don't think it would completely go away and would re-grow once I stopped the meds. I tried the cbcp's the beginning of this year....a nightmare...as it always has been for me. I've tried so many kinds in the past and they just can't find one that works well for me.....when I stopped them this last time...I was having heavy bleeding everyday and had to go on progesterone to get the bleeding to stop. Lupron...bahhhh....it has helped in the past...but geeze...this would be the third of fourth time I've taken it....I start worrying about the long term side effects and bone loss....even with the addback. Anyone have any ideas for me?? For now...I'm just taking it easy...the Vicodin is helpful and I feel more comfortable taking it at work now then I did when I worked on the floor. Now I just talk to patient's on the phone...it's not like I'm pushing potentially fatal drugs,etc. I know I could have taken and handled working the floor with the Vicodin....but I just felt it was too risky..u know? Now I feel very comfortable taking it at work..so that's helpful. Ok..my little man needs to get to bed...
Luv ya's
Liv
