So, in the previous blog post, I posted
about how I had a minute chance of having endometrial cancer... this was based
off of previous ultrasound reports... I was told by my Endocrinologist that I
needed to follow up with my OBGYN, so I scheduled an appointment with
my OBGYN Dr. Addli Shay, for today at 8am. I was a bit nervous, because
my last OBGYN through Dartmouth was not the greatest, and she pushed the issue
of my stillborn daughter, Kayleigh, which bothered me a bit.
Today, we discussed my hormone levels,
and the ultrasound report, and I got Really Good Results at the OBGYN. I liked
this doctor... she was not a jerk like the last one.
She explained to me that the
calcification that was found was called a dermoid cyst and that it went
unchanged from my last ultrasound, but she explained that if it changes then
she will order a uterine biopsy.
She explained that hormone wise, she
wants my TSH to be under 2.5, ideally 2.0, which is what other doctors wanted
it to be at. She explained to me that she wants to manage my PCOS a bit better.
We discussed the large amount of cysts
on my ovaries, and she explained that it is dangerous to continue to have these
cysts build up on my ovaries, because eventually, one could rupture, or burst,
causing more issues.
She explained that because I don't
ovulate, she is starting me on Clomid 50mg to get rid of the cysts. She
explained that my issue is that I have 50 cysts on each ovary and its causing
alot of hormone issues. The hormone issues are making my PCOS worse, instead of
better, which is why I see no change on the Synthroid or Metformin after a
year. She explained to me by not ovulating it causes cysts and
essentially puts me at menopausal levels and affects my PCOS terribly and that
the Clomid will cause me to ovulate which is what I need to have happen &
even though I'm not TTC at the moment she wants to treat me this way as it will
be the most beneficial.
She said ideally, she wants me to get
these cysts diminished and to continue with the Hormone labs, HSG, HSG-Sonogram
and ultrasounds and to follow up with any questions.
All in all, it was a good appointment,
with good results. I'm quite happy.
I discussed it with my fiancee, and even
though we're not actively TTC at the moment, he did mention that he is not
against me getting pregnant, and that it is the ultimate goal, and that twins
run in his family (oh boy, they run in mine too) I am just worried that the
Clomid is going to thin my lining alot, and make me hormone crazy... lol
