CD2: Vacillating about cycling

AF came early again – a 25 day cycle. Since I had the whopper 6cm cyst late this last January, my cycles haven’t been normal. As the 6cm cyst withered on the right, a +2cm cyst on the left had developed. Today was my first ultrasound since visiting my fabulous U/S man in NJ. So, [...]

CD1: Early again

My cycles used to be like clockwork. And suddenly they weren’t. 28 days was the norm since I could remember. Every once in a while I’d get a 27 or a 29 day cycle, but that would be a bit rare for me. This year alone, I’ve had a 19 day cycle and this month [...]

CD19: Trudging along with barf bags in tow

Lots happening at work, at home, and with my ovaries. I went to see the wonderful U/S person on Friday to see how the cyst was doing. The previous Friday Dr. B said it looked as though it were 18mm (think that is correct) and I was concerned about the accuracy of that measurement. Mr. [...]

CD11: Immunology Results Are In

I finally had my in person meeting with Dr. Braverman yesterday to go over the results from my immune tests that he ran. A few surprising things: My NK cells are at 28% killing power. This is about 50% higher than they’ve ever been over the last 5 or 6 years. For the first time [...]

CD7 of the wait

It’s Monday and lots of folks were lucky to get the day off. I, however, did not. Bah. Instead, I worked from home as best I could with the BF’s two boys here. Both sick, the youngest up three times in the middle of the night barfing his poor little heart out. I don’t know [...]

CD19 is now CD1

On the way home from the U/S I stopped by at Costco to fetch a few things. I wound up having to sit down, fire up the laptop, and actually answer some email from their icky food court area while chowing down a shrimp Caesar at the same time. Email done, I gathered my things [...]

Wishy Washy Me & Phantosmia

The U/S man called me at 9AM. We were still in bed as my other half had to fly to the other coast for work today (yes, on Valentine’s….joy) and we were trying to get a bit of extra snuggle time in before starting the week. The U/S man said that he was willing to [...]

CD17 or so

I’m still sorta freaked out about this massive cyst that’s set up shop on my right ovary. Deciding that I’m not waiting til Friday to get it looked at again, I shot off emails to Dr. B and to Dr. Italian in hopes that they could either see me personally or recommend someone who might. [...]

2010 raises its head once again

So I thought that the year of the rabbit was supposed to be in full swing by now, but apparently we’re a little behind in my world. After my last odd AF, chock full of crimson FCM and ovarian pain…I noticed that the pain lessened a bit but never really went away. I also started [...]

Back to California

Good news: My cervical biopsies came back negative for dysplasia of any kind. Thank god. The dreaded virus still lurketh, but my body is clearly fighting it off. Bad news: The mole biopsy on my face, flesh colored little thing that was wedged into my naso-labial crease (line between nose and corner of lip) came [...]
