Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 I've had irregular periods since I was 12 yrs old. I was on the pill on and off for the last 7-8 years, and my period was regulated. I went off the pill on 12/2001 to ttc. Didn't get a period until my internist put me on Provera, still did't get period after one cycle so I decided to see an RE. My doctor first diagnosed me with amenorrhea, then she ordered ultrasound and HSG (to see if my tubes are blocked). At the HSG, she saw my tubes were open and found scarring/adhesions and decided to take them out. I've never had history of D & C, abortion, infection or any trauma that I know of. I had a resection of adhesion in August. She put me on three cycles of hormone, estrogen and progesterone. I've been getting my period, 5-7 days after finishing progesterone. I'm on my last cycle now and I had a follow up HSG last Monday, the radiologist said, my tubes are wide open, but there is still some scarring- she couldn't get into details, because she doesn't know what the extent of my surgery was. Now, its Friday, I called my doctor yesterday for the result and haven't heard from her. Most of the stuff I know, I learned from reading. She didn't really explain anything but a one straight answer to every question. I guess I need to be more inquisitive and agressive when I talk to her. I guess my problem was is that I didn't know what I have or might have is Ashermans, I just saw from my pre-op paperwork that my diagnosis was uterine synechiae/adhesions. From my further reading, I was able to connect uterine synechiae/adhesions to Ashermans. I haven't formally heard from my doctor that what I have is Ashermans. So, as I read on I was able to relate what I have to Ashermans except I don't have any history of D & C etc. I do have a 15 year old son, I had him when I was 15 yrs old. I am 31 now. By the way, I'm new to the group, and I have yet to send in all my info. I'll send them ASAP. I really appreciate any information and support I will get from everybody. I'm just learning more about Ashermans. I am a member of amenorrhea yahoo group, it is helpful somehow but I am all mixed up about my condition. I don't have PCOS, my hormone levels are normal, my weight is the same as it was no drastic changes. I am now leaning more towards Ashermans as my diagnosis for not getting a period and not get pregnant yet. Like everybody else, I want to get pregnant and I'm looking at all aspects, as to why I can't get pregnant or have a period. I feel that I just need to be more educated what's going on so I can ask the right questions to my RE when I see or talk to her again.

Can I suggest that you make an appointment with and endo, not an internist? They are probably not going to be the best person to handle thyca - and endo who knows thyca IS.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 I just wrote you all a 5 page letter thanking you and answering 's response, but I pressed post instead of send, so I lost it all. At least it was cathartic. Too bad I don't have the time or energy to do it all again. I am taking Altace and Avapro qd and clonidine prn. the avapro and altace have droped my proteinuria from 4700 mg to 800 mg, so we are well-pleased. My b/p is pretty much under control. It RARELY gets above 130's over 80's. Thanks Pierre, for answering my questions. I have nothing but the utmost respect and awe for you, particularly since the word patience is not in my vocabulary. I hate to gross you guys out but I am determined to find the source of my recent nausea. Remember I told you there would be times when I was have the sudden urge to vomit, but thenit would pass. Tonight it didn't pass,and it was awful. Once again, sorry to be gross but I have never thrown up so violently. I could literally feel my stomach msucles cramping down, and I thought my head would explode. I wanted it to explode cause I thought it might make me feel better. I waited an hour then tried some sprite and jello. Bad idea. 30 minutes later that all came up. This time I had chest pain added to all that and told myself mentally that I HAD to stop before I gave myself a heart attack. My B/P is up. bit I'm afraid the clonidine won't stay down. I have no fever, so I don't know what's going on. I have a friend who asked me about all I've eaten the last 24 hrs, and I have to admit, I've had a larger than normal amount of fried food since last night. She thinks maybe my kidneys and my stomach are not handling it so well. Otherwise, unless it's my kidneys I don't know what it is. The only new med I'm on is Wellbutrin, I switched from Effexor to that about a month ago. , I know nausea is one fo the side effects, but surely it wouldn't cause nausea to this degree. What do you think? I told Dr. O. last visit that I had been nauseated, but he didn't say anything about it. Ugh, this si a pain in the butt.
