Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Support Group
Polycythemia is a condition in which there is a net increase in the total circulating erythrocyte (red blood cell) mass of the body. Primary polycythemia occurs when excess erythrocytes are produced as a result of a proliferative abnormality of the bone marrow. Secondary polycythemia is caused by increases of erythropoietin that result in an increased production of...
I really need advice. I am sooo sorry this is so long!!!
I am not sure where to look or where to even start. I am 26 and never had children. A few years ago I was diagnosed with hpv had a colposcopy to check, nothing was really abnormal, and now I have had more than 3 normal paps. I have had horrible horrible cramps practically since I started my period when I was 12. Well, I had free state health insurance and the obgyn said it was nothing to worry about and that because I was having normal periods and normal bleeding that everything was ok. Well I finally was able to get insurance. I started going to this obgyn and he seems to be on top of it. I am obese and he wanted me to have a ultrasound just to check everything out because its harder to feel the ovaries and things on a obese patient than it is on a thinner patient. The first ultrasound showed a hemoragic cyst on my right ovary. He seemed to not be too concerned, but wanted to do another ultrasound. well he did an ultrasound at his office, and it showed both ovaries were normal but something came up funny on my uterus.
So we waited 6 weeks which was this past Wednesday and he showed me how the lining in my uterus is thicker than normal and also that it should be 'straight' and mine was weird shaped, maybe has polyps, but seems to be abnormal. He looked at my left ovary and it was covered in cysts I could see them on the ultrasound. I am not on any birth control. I have a rare brain disease that I am not sure I can even take birth control or hormones.
He mentioned putting me on progesterone and then doing another ultrasound. If the ultrasound is clean then we will be fine. If not then go in and do a d&c and a laproscopic surgery to see why im in so much pain at least 3 weeks a month.
Does anyone have any advice. I am not sure what this even is, if its cancer, precancer ect. please help!! thank you

hope this helps.
You can be put on birth control to regulate your periods. I have been taking Provera which is a progesterone. I take it every 90 days for 10 days.
I have had irregular periods since I started at 12.
When I had an ultrasound my ovaries were filled with tiny cysts; about 20 in each. Mine was due to the fluid that turns into the egg. The LH hormone isn't there to help it along. So the fluid hardens and turns into cysts thus no ovulation.
I would get more testing done to see if thyroid or hormones or diabetes is causing ur PCOS. So u have a better sence of what is going on in your body.
I was diagnosed today with HPV. I'm quite scared. And I just added to the group on here. I would love some advice.
If u have more questions message me. Ill answer the best I can.
