Well I have been doing the hormone/menopause websites and then the hysterectomy website so now I get to join another group of gals on the PCOS website...sounds fun when I type it all out
.
My history is bouts of hormonal issues for 2.5 years and was always told I was to young (38 at the moment). In December of 07 I was placed on Yasmin by my gyn and told I just wasn't ovulating regularly. The bcp did help with many symptoms I had been having (heart palps, hot flashes, late and or early periods, heavy clotting and cramping, sleeplessness, numb extremeties etc). In August of 08 the same gyn called to tell me they had lost my pathology report and that I had cervical cancer (8 months after my pap). I chose to see a gyn/oncologist who told me that I did not have CC but a very high grade of dysplasia. Hubby and I opted to remove the uterus and cervix and be done with it. During all of this I was told to come off of the bcp and in doing so began to have the same problems again.
So now I am seeing an anti aging doctor and he is treating me for low Progesterone first and we are trying to figure out the high testosterone levels I am having. I have had an ultrasound and do have small cysts on the left ovary. They are leary of telling me I have PCOS for sure until we do the next blood test (having that next Friday). I don't really seem to have the common symptoms of PCOS. I do have a few hairs on the chin and neck but have had those for years and there is maybe 5 in total. I don't seem to have excessive hair loss on my head. As far as acne I might still get the occasional pimple during ovulation. Hoping this is simply hormone imbalance, if not we have discussed metformin as the next possible solution.
Here are my latest results :
Estradiol 74 range 50-100 Progesterone 2.5 range 10-20 SHBG 33 range 1-114 Testosterone Total 282 range 15-70 Testosterone free 29.30 range 6-8.5 DHEA 335 range 350-430 TSH 1.6 range <2 Free t3 299 range 365-420 Free t4 1.60 range 1.3-1.8
Anyway a hearty hello to all of you gals and any and all suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated.
