Guest guest Posted February 25, 2001 Report Share Posted February 25, 2001 , It's not the tube that's dominant, but the ovary. I knew which side I was O'ing from because I always have Pain on the side I O from. Then it was confirmed by u/s. That's how I know now, we do an u/s on cd12 to see which side has follies. Since I started Clomid, I have had viable follies on both sides each month. I take the clomid because my right ovary was dominant and I have no tube on that side. Now this was my second cycle on Clomid (results remain to be known) and I had follies on both sides just like last month. I take 50mg on cd 3-7 and both months I have had several on each ovary. This is a very inexpensive way to increase the odds you will O from the " good " side (in my opinion). Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2001 Report Share Posted February 25, 2001 you might want to wait and see what happens. Ever since my ectopic, my L. ovary (the side with the tube) has become dominant. I almost NEVER ovulate on the other side now. -- M. > In a message dated 02/23/2001 11:39:13 AM Eastern Standard Time, > csclark@... writes: > > << My questions for all of you- Is there such thing as a dominant ovary? > Are there ways to get my left ovary to ovulate- fertility drugs etc.? >> > > Caroline > There is definitely a thing as a dominate ovary.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 I know I'm late in answering, but Dana pretty much said what I'd say. I feel intense ovulation pains so there's never any doubt. I had never experienced this before I had surgery in Sep. 99 unrelated to ectopic...kinda. Hope that helps. -- M. > > Hello- > Can someone tell me how one knows what tube is > dominant and when you are ovulating from which side? > > > --- & Marks > wrote: >> you might want to wait and see what happens. >> Ever since my ectopic, >> my L. ovary (the side with the tube) has become >> dominant.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Friday is the day with Endo so just throwing somethings around to have somethings to throw at him( besides objects if he tells me I am normal). Brief update.. Diagnosis ???? Diffuse ( no nodules) goiter.. TRAB 5..<5 neg >15 positive. TPO 34..0-35 TSH 0.92..0.45-5 FT4 18... 11-19 FT3..sorry don't have the number only tested once and in line High normal with FT4. Am temp..98.6-99 F Resting pulse..good days 75-80..bad days 95..really bad day 132?? I cycle in and out of hyper..iodine is a big trigger and reducing it has helped with pulse and shakeiness etc. My menstrual cycle also seems to be a trigger? Normal for me is 26-28 days..4-5 day cycle.. Now 30-35 days..1-3 day cycle..do not know numbers but this time last year doc tested and said not even close to perimenipausal? problem..cycle 1 day only followed by 3-4 days of major hyper swing. Cycle lasts 2 days with a day of spotting followed by a few days of hyper swing? It seems when my Estrogen levels drop I convert more and swing hyper? GP did put me on a trial course of PTU..took it for three weeks along with a lot of Benadryl til I had to stop taking it.( allergic) But it is the best I have felt all year.. before PTU, WBC and Platelet count were both flagged high, after PTU they were in normal range although I am sure they are high again. Technical questions before Friday... Chemical compound structure of PTU includes a Sulphite molecule..highly allergic to sulphites..this could explain the allergic reaction..GP does not want to do Tapazole because they are similiar in structure. ( that and he has only ever used PTU ) . Disagree but looking at compound structure it actually has the same Sulphite molecule as PTU..meaning I could maybe convince the ENDO of a two week trial on TAP to see if I react but I have a very good chance of reacting.. Iodine? I know iodine irritates the thyroid..I understand why but does anyone know if there is a proper medical test to find out if I am allergic to iodine ( true allergy) or if it is because of the thyroid ( iodine target). I have had allergy testing both skin prick and what they call the challenge but not sure if Iodine would or could be tested this way.. or at least by challenge as it would be hard to determine if the reaction was iodine or thyroid related?? Synthroid? Is it possible to give Synthroid to suppress the thyroid? Or would I just be adding fuel to the fire? Not sure if my TSH and FT4 match or if adding T4 would stop the TSH from stimulating the thyroid? Wait and see? I have been playing wait and see for a year now..last year Endo seemed to think it was no big deal. Hopefully it will make up its mind and either go hyper or hypo and then they can treat the condition.. I have done what I can..limit iodine, limit coffee..increase protien, b-complex but my neck has limited side to side movement, although it is not suppose to hurt I do get sharp pains in my neck on and off though depending if it is a day where the swelling increases or not. I have muscle wasting across my top shoulders that I have given up on..not sure how much of it is muscle wasting and how much of it is pinched nerves from swelling etc. The muscles at the top of my legs seem to have good days and bad days..they are fine except for stairs , inclines etc.. but as long as I can keep the protien up they do ok..but more waiting and I know it is going to get worse. Surgery or RAI? My GP seems to think this is my options? And that I really need to consider one or the other.. My GP is leaning towards a partial thyroidectomy but it will be left up to the ENDO.. I do not want either..the answer to iodine testing would help with this one.. Thyroid storm? Although I understand this is rare..the main emergency treatment consists of PTU and Lugol's solution ( iodine) my doc says I can still do PTU as long as they know I am allergic to it but this again brings up the iodine question?? And effects the more waitng approach. Partial vs. Complete thyroidectomy? I understand the benefits of leaving 1/2 to 3/4 of the thyroid in tact..but I have also read posts where it more or less delays things and a few years after they end up with either RAI or surgery to remove the rest of the thyroid? My antibody testing is low although they could increase but if I am sensitive to iodine now would it not attack any remaining thyroid? As you can tell my mind is going 100 miles a minute but the light bulb is burnt out..so any ideas? Any links where I might find more information that I have not seen already that might turn on a switch? ( medical sites) Kats3boys For those who ask.. Offical Diagnosis..Large diffuse goiter( possible subclinical hyperthyroidism) no nodules, not hyper enough to be hyper. Meds..000 Herbs/Vitamins..B-Complex Medical conditions..IBS..long standing..controlled by diet, avoiding allergies. Hypogylcemia.( genetic, non reactive) Diet.. I am 5'6 " ..135 lbs..took me 3 years of increasing protien and calories to gain wieght up to this wieght, that and the flu shot as with IBS the flu helps me drop 20 lbs instantly that I don't need to drop..Calories..( Huge) I always eat..but avoid processed because of allergies. Allergies..no food allergies all chemicals..I am chemically sensitive. Sulphites, Sulpha, MSG, Chlorine, Penicillin, ASA, Codiene, Erythomycin, Biaxin, Prepulsid, Red #03 and Yellow dyes..not determined yet if it is yellow #05( tartazine) or all yellows or Sulphite content in yellow dyes or? Sensitivity to Iodine not determined if allergic yet or?? ( see above) Last allergy testing showed positive for all testing, no results as it was the allergist who discovered the thyroid and says it is related that the testing wil be skewwed until the thyroid is treated.
