What's everyone using?
I had the Mirena IUD put in in December '06. Wellllll I haven't had a period since. So I had my post-IUD check up and during the pelvic exam the doc felt a cyst--I'm prone to them, have had MANY that have grown and burst--so she did a wait and see approach.
I had an ultrasound done a month after that there were a ton of cysts. Since I can't tolerate hormonal birth control and this IUD is cropping them up, we talked about a hysterectomy. When I saw the OB-surgeon he refused to take my ovaries out since I am 24.
Yeah, forget that they are causing a huge amount of pain and I can't tolerate hormonal b.c. and I really do not want another child right now...what am I supposed to do? He began to tell me that cysts do not cause pain, that maybe my pain was due to other things.
He told me to massage my vaginal walls (no thank you) and I could always see a shrink. ARGH! I have visual documentation that there are cysts PLUS a history of them growing to 10 c.m. in diameter and rupturing at least twice before and I am supposed to see a shrink? And what is a massage to my vaginal walls supposed to do???
I don't know anymore...I got pregnant while on Ortho Evra and the pills irritate my IC like crazy, so I am stuck! Any suggestions?
