Ultrasound Test Results. Can Anyone Calm my Fears?

April 21, 2008

Hi Everyone

My doc's office just called with results. Basically, my uterus is

fine, however my ovaries are whacked.

The left one has lots of follicles, but they don't seem solid or

abnormal. the right one has a small follicle that they want to

recheck because the eco did not bounce back meaning it could be solid

or could be endometrial tissue.

So I have to go back in 6 weeks to " recheck " to see if this has

corrected itself. My guess is 6 weeks isn't gonna cut it because

since i went on the WP (June 2007-Nov 2007) then off the WP, my

period hasn't been normal...well... not as on time as usual. Prior to

that, i was every 28 days. both on and off the BC pill.

I asked what could have caused this: 18 years birth control or the WP

an she said either. Especially for the left ovary since when you see

lots of follicles, it could be confused...and being on the pill for

18 years (putting your ovaries to sleep) and then going off could

confuse it. She seemed more worried about the right ovary.

I have absolutely NO experience with this stuff. And frankly, I'm

scared. My gut feeling says it was the WP that caused this and not

the BC pill. I even asked if going back on the BC pill would treat

this and she said likely it would since it would put my ovaries back

to sleep. I'm so tempted but know the cons of progestins. so not

likely i would go that route unless i was facing some other decision.

Can anyone offer any type of input of what I should expect or if they

had similar experience?

I'm a little freaked out. My husband just left for Asia today and

could use some sound comfort or opinion.

Here's the kicker. the WP doctor i fired recommended the ultra sound

due to the high levels of WP hormones...when i left her and found my

new doc I asked for it from her because my periods were suddenly

messed up. she agreed. I'm glad i did.

Thanks.
