Exclamation A Diagnosis Finaly !!!!

Well,
My Endocrinologist called and got my blood work back and told me I am PCOS. He prescribed me Metformin. This is for Insulin Resitandce and may actualy help to loose weight. YIPEE !!!!!

I had a Transvaginal done today and as the tech was ready to put the wand in me I told her that the Endo specialist said I was PCOS and she said why then let out a big burst and sais OH MY GOD YOU ARE PCOS !!! The 7cm cyst is gone on the right ovary, but the right ovary is full of tiny cysts !!!!!! She said that they are deffinately Polycistic Ovaries.

Then I had to go down stairs and see my OB. He came in and ok....PCOS.....You are 39 and you are not having anymore kids.....PCOS.....So what. It will be controlled. He did say that he will probably change the BC Pill again. He can't until next time I get my period, because I can't be off the pill. He said I did unfortunately have a rough past 5 months, but I will be fine. I asked about will I get another massive cyst?? He said yes that is possible that is why he may change my pill again. I also asked about having my ovaries out and he said no way in you know what will he take my ovaries out now. He refuses to put me through that option. He said I am sure other doctors would of probably taken my ovaries out already and I would be dealing with menepause. He will not put me through that. He said any doctor who takes out a womans ovaries at the age of 39 is nothing more than a butcher. The only way he would take them out is it is the absolute last resort, or when I am his age !!

So that is the update right now !!!

I'm so glad you got some answers! I've heard great things about Metformin once you get used to it! Best of luck

Re: A Diagnosis Finaly !!!!

I tell yah I am thrilled over the fact that now I know what I am dealing with. The only thing is I can't start a knew BCP until my next cycle because I started the 2nd trial pack of the Ovcon 35 this past sunday. They can't take me of the BCP due to my cyst problems. So, the chances are I will probably have another massive cyst just before my next period !! WHAT JOY
The only thing is at least I am expecting it this time. But this time I want better Pain Killers !!!!!!!! Percaset would be nice.......
