Womanly stuff

Hey girlies I need your help. My Gyn called and said I have endometrial cells on my pap smear. Apparently they shouldn't be there and he says it is endometrial hyperplasia. I have to get a referral from my PCM to get an ultrasound and perhaps biopsy. My TOM is clockwork every 28 days, 2-3 light to barely there days, and no cramping. So I also looked up PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and I have a few things listed there. Obese (duh) insulin resistant diabetic,high cholestrol, 3 miscarriages,no births.I have been getting laser hair removal on my chin for 3 months. (Go****'s great. I did my underarms too.) Any thoughts, suggestions? Thanks, Jen

Hey Jen. I am not sure how the endometrial hyperplasia fits in but I know that a lot of people with PCOS state that the weight loss really helps with the symptoms and they don't have as much problems with it after surgery. Definitely keep researching and see what effect weight might have in these issues. It might help for that fight for surgery. Courtney

Hi Jen, I know nothing about the topic. I just wanted to let you know that you have my support as you go through this. I hope it is nothing too serious and like Courtney said that it can be helped by having this surgery. Pleas e take care of yourself and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers! I'm looking forward to seeing you again at the end of the month at Red Lobster! Hugs, Robin

Jen, I am probably not much help because I don't really know much about it but I have heard that WLS really does help PCOS sufferers.......... but of course you don't know if you have it yet... I would love to get some laser hair removal on a few annoying hairs on my chin........ Good luck with the results Jackie

Good news! I went to my PCM today and got 2 more opinions. No need for concern. I will have a repeat pap done in 6 months. So as soon as I get a mammogram I will be cleared for surgery and get a date!!!! You guys are the best. I have made some real true friends here. Jen

Great news Jen! Keep up your spirits and it will happen soon. I'm glad to hear things are still on track. Sheila

That's great, Jen! Wow...I've always wanted that hair removal stuff! Did the underarm thing really work? That would be so awesome... You and I all hairless in our bikinis on the beach....lol.! WoooHoooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Yup it sure does! I have had 3 treatments so far and I haven't shaved the pits for almost a month. One or two more treatments and tht should do it. Sona med spa is where I go. Yea, real smokin' hot babes...... lol
