Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Hi Tess...It just goes on...I imagine that you are weary. I'm glad that they caught your cyst earlier this time and hope that there won't be the same complications. I had a cyst that burst one time...it wasn't a walk in the park. Will the fibroids shrink if you are in menopause? Wishing you a pain free day. Iris --- Tess_St_Pierre@... wrote: > Hi..my Gyn called about 9 tonight.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Hi Iris...yes, she thnks the fibroids will shrink in menopause. I'm glad I get a little time before the next ultra sounds. Something a little unusual...within a few days of being diagnosed with the huge mass on my right ovary in 1990, my mom, who had gone through menopause a long time before, was diagnosesd with the same type & size of mass on her left ovary...it was like a mirror image. We had our surgeries within 3 days of each other. I believe she was 68 at the time. You are so sweet & thoughtful, Iris. Thanks for being my friend. Class of '69, too.....

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Hi Tess...That is really talking genetics! I hope your cyst will behave itself and go away. You certainly don't need any more pain. My Mom and all of us three girls had endometriosis at about the same age. I appreciate all of your kind words and inspirations that you send us all. Class of 72 with all friends in 69, 70 and 71. Iris --- Tess_St_Pierre@... wrote: > Hi Iris...yes, she thnks the fibroids will shrink in > menopause.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Hi nna When I was about 14 months post op I was getting my period every two weeks... very annoying...I am VERY regular, have been having my period on the same day of the month for 20 years... it became regular again around 24 months post op... which was about 6 months after I no longer lost weight. I think it takes time for your body to regulate or something. Hope that helps ! ~ ~ >From: singingangels@... >Reply- > >Subject: female stuff >Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2005 21:08:00 -0800 > > > >Hello, >Okay I don't post often other than sending contacts to individuals but >today I am sending to both boards.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 nna, I was approximately that far out when I started experiencing problems with my periods. Very sporadic and never knew how long or when. Went to gynecologist and he put me on hormone pills. This helped and I took them for approximately 4 to 5 months. I have just recently stopped taking and only time will tell if the problem comes back.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 You really should discuss this with your GYN. I went through years of either having no periods of having one pretty continuously. Neither is good. Please call your doctor. in GA > > Hello, > Okay I don't post often other than sending contacts to individuals but > today I am sending to both boards.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I don't know what your age is but this can sometimes occur when you are perimenopausal. Y ou should talk with your physician. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
