So, I went into a bit of hibernation and, like the awakening season around me, I am slowly coming out of it. I need to catch up on most of blogs I follow, and am slowly marking a return to posting regularly. In coming out of hibernation, I vanity searched this blog title on … Read More »

Stroking ego in the name of medical care.
I call bullshit.So I got a second opinion about my thyroid & POF last month, and it's basically the same. Next steps: birth control for hormone replacement therapy, up the thyroid meds. Pretty S.O.P. So I send Dr. G an email asking about whether I need to schedule an appt to … Read More »
Second verse, same as the first.
Got a second opinion re: thyroid and ovarian function yesterday. This doc basically confirmed everything, and actually told me I was right to trust my instincts about not taking the new 137mcg dose of Synthroid back in December. My sticking to the 125 mcg Levoxyl has paid off, as … Read More »
IT’S NOT ENDO!
My doc assures me... it's not endo. It's a "transient active cystic structure." My follie threw my whole reproductive system for a surprise, probably created a fluid or blood filled cyst, and then went away, thus explaining all of my symptoms. As my doc put it, it would be near … Read More »
In diagnostic limbo…
So, my bloodwork from Saturday came back already - everything is pretty much super-low, which is "normal" for someone with POF. Crazy high FSH (62.4), mid-range LH (32.6), estradiol wicked low (20), progesterone (0.1).But that crazy u/s I had Friday, the one where I suddenly have … Read More »
Dear Wanda*
Dear Wanda*,Thanks for poking that pocket of newly discovered endo today as deeply and as uncomfortably as possible during our 15 minute tryst this morning. (Also- thanks for wearing a condom; we can never take our love for granted in this day and age.) All of the pain that I was … Read More »
Cannot catch a break.
First question I ask: "Do I have any endometrial lining?" Answer: Yes. It's very very thin, but it's there. Ultrasound tech brings in the doctor. It's Lesley, the lady from last week. SOP: look on the outside, pee, drop trough, insert dildocam, call in the doc. This time, well … Read More »
Dreaming in anger.
Had a dream so real this morning I thought it actually happened, and then was so angry in said dream I woke up with a nasty headache. I wish I had written this down as soon as I got to work as opposed to so late in the day now, as the details are fuzzy. Essentially, it had this … Read More »
Let me show you my No Face.
I was hoping to eventually title a post "Let me show my my O face" but sadly, looks like I didn't ovulate. Blood tests and u/s seem to indicate a big fat nothin is happening up in my lady bits. Dr. G put it so nicely in an email to me on Thursday:"The lab tests look no different … Read More »
No answers just yet.
I managed to fail a breast exam today. My doctor's words, not mine. He says I can't be pregnant b/c I "failed my breast exam." I assume that since I had a mildly bemused "that tickles" expression on my face as opposed to clawing at his face while he did my breast exam means I … Read More »
