Thank you again. It means a lot to have people that have either been through something like this or just understand and care :) I am def keeping this doc for good and hope to get all better real soon :)
that is great to hear. I hope it shrinks down by june :)
Good luck on your wedding and I hope everything works out with the cyst.
Keep us updated :)
Yayy, so glad things are better!! And I'm soo glad you found a different doctor..sounds like this one's a keeper!! lol TY for keeping us posted. When you're on here offering advice, I dont know about alot, but I and I know others actually care what's going on and are happy when someone keeps in touch. I'm soo glad things are slowly getting better for you and you're right, it's better than nothing!! Congratulations on your wedding! Wishing you all the best in the world! :D
Thank you ladies so much for your comments.
I did request for the medical records and found a different doctor to do a follow up ultrasound. It was originally a 5.8cm cyst and as of May 1st it was a "4.8 cm complex right adnexal mass with multiple loculations"
Doc did advise me the bleeding was ab normal and he put me on the pill for 1 month to see if it will help. Took my first pill on May 1st and today there is hardly any bleeding at all!!! Pain from cramping is still there but I am walking and functioning much better. I almost cried with relief when he first saw me and pressed from the outside saying "even without the ultrasound I can feel a big mass and understand why you are in so much pain". It is amazing how different this doc is and how he listened to every little thing and worry I had. I have a followup ultrasound on June 14th when we hope the cyst will decrease substantially.
There is no need for D&C since everything is clean - no pregnancy residue. The pain and bleeding are a direct result of the cyst and from his calculations I also got my period the week prior to my visit which intensified everything. I always had a painful period but nothing like what I am going through. Bowel movement is also getting better. Looks like things are heading in the right direction. I just wish this would have been over by my wedding but according to doc it will take at least 2 more months before this will completely dissolve - better than nothing right?
Again, thank you for the kind words, comments and suggestions. Wishing you all the best!!!
First I want to say I'm sorry for your loss. :( Second, MY goodness, I cannot believe your dr is just letting this happen. IF I were you, I'd seek a 2nd opinion. Bleeding for 6 weeks solid is an awful long time..no wonder you're anemic. Adding the pain that you've been in, something needs to be done!!
Seek a 2nd opinion...sometimes cysts do NOT go away by themselves..but I think more importantly you shouldn't be bleeding this long. You may need a D&C. I really hope you get some help soon. Best of luck to you!!
Also I wanted to add..your bowel pain is probably due to the cyst. I have one on each ovary about an inch and a half in size and sometimes they hurt sooo bad when I'm trying to have a bowel movement.
I would see a different doctor. Most doctors feel a lap should be done with the cyst is that big.
What type of cyst did he say it was?
I would ask for your ultrasound report and see another doctor.
Have you always had pain when it comes to your period?
