Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Well my aunt went in for her appointment, they had they appointments wrong. So she now is going back on Monday for her biopsy. She is not sure if they are doing a colposcopy or what. I went into the doctor yesterday because my periods are so irregular. My last two have come 53 and 55 days apart. I have always been irregular but not like this. Anyway, he ran a bunch of blood tests that so far have all come back normal. An utrasound has been scheduled for Monday the 12th. He is evaluting for Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOS). The thing that bothers him the most is that when my thyroid levels are normal my periods are spaced so far apart, when my levels are at their worst my periods are more " normal " He mentioned something about a tumor while pointing to his head but he doesn't think it's that because my symptoms are not that strong. He is leaning more towards ovarian disease. Pro's and con's. I have been reading on PCOS and for the most part they use hormones to treat it. I have always been told with my family history they would not use hormones to treat me for conditions. With PCOS it can cause a variety of other conditions, breast cancer, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, diabetes. Too say the least I am freaking out a bit. I hate waiting. The brain tumor suggestion freaks me out the most. So that's my update for the week. heavy sigh. Haven't had any drama in the family for a while, guess we are making up for lost time???

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Patti - I've had polycystic ovarian disease since I was 22, I'm 48 now. I went 2 years without a period and didn't realize that was a bad thing until I finally went for a yearly exam. They told me that not having a period could cause uterine cancer...they checked me out and I'm fine. It also caused problems with getting me pregnant. Went to a fertility clinic and they finally got me to ovulate and then it turned out my ex had "lazy sperm". I've had some discomfort with it. A cyst will get big and painful and then it will automatically drain. Sorry - grusome. Yes I've now had breast cancer - er+ and high blood pressure, but my diabetes if diet control. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's not all bad...even with these things, I feel relatively well.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 , thank you for your story. I would much rather deal with the PCOS than the brain tumor that he brought up. That's the part that's freaking me out. It may sound wierd, but if I have to choose I pick the PCOS. I'm thru with having any more children, my youngest is turning 12 on friday. No desires to start over again. I have read that not only hormones are used to treat PCOS but weight loss and changing my diet. So no bettet time than the present. Even if it's not, could not hurt to change my eating habits. Silver streak, guess maybe I have found one?
