Wow I don't even know where to start this post I'm such a jumble of mixed feelings right now.
This morning I received a phone call from my midwife with the results from my testing. She told me that I do have PCOS but more as a quick side note kind of thing like I already knew that I had PCOS. I'm surprised at how much this diagnosis hasn't effected me, I'm talking not at all. I guess I really did just know that there was such a high chance that I had it that the diagnosis was more of a confirmation.
The rest of the phone call I 100% did not expect she said she took my ultrasound to a consulting OBGYN to look at it and they feel like my uterine lining is just way too thick for them to be comfortable with. They also said that they thought they saw a polyp in my uterus. Basically the way she explained the polyp to me was that its just a growth. Yep doesn't tell me much lol. She then went on to tell me that they want me to go in for surgery. Am I a fan of this idea? NOPE not at all I hate even the idea of having to go in, I'm a little traumatized by my last surgical experience. So anyway, she proceeds to tell me that they want to do a hysteroscopy (a small camera inserted into my uterus) to look at my polyp to see what it is and then they want to clean out my uterine lining to give me what she called "a fresh start." While they are in there she also wants to do an HSG also known as a Hysterosalpingogram, which just means they will inject dye into my uterus and watch my tubes through an x-ray machine to see if the dye moves freely through my tubes. She then told me that I am to no longer be taking the medicines she prescribed me last week. (insert hugh sigh of relief here, means I can eat yummy foods again.)
This is a whole lot to take in I must tell you. She asked me when she was done explaining everything that they want to do if I was just ready to schedule basically. I politely asked her if this was something I could think on and discuss with Shawn. Her reply was of course, and that this is not an emergency and its not something that needs to be done straight away. So we have decided to wait at least for a while. I have read in a few places of women being told they had a polyp and it turned out to be a very early pregnancy, which could be the case for us (I would only be about 3week 4 days if I am pregnant) so we are waiting. Waiting to see if maybe my body can shed that lining by itself, waiting to see if there is a chance that polyp could possibly be a baby (no I'm not getting my hopes up for that, but it would be nice) and we are waiting for all of this information to sink in before I run out and get surgery.
