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

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
