Update 12/18/09 from OBGYN....
Well, I have to say I'm a happy lady but still scarred. I love my new OBGYN...!!! They spent 1 hr with me. They explained alot about PCOS and the different things that are or may be going on inside of me.
First she is happy with what the other DR's are doing so, that is a plus. Dr is sending me to have my blood work done to see where my Vitamin D level's are at. Dr has noticed lately that he is finding that women's level's are down alot and with the taking a vitamin D supplement made a big difference to feel better. Dr said, " that my be one of the reason's for me being so tired all the time". Dr has asked that I take a women's multi vitamin and Omega 3's daily. Dr was able to do a pap smear, I will get that result in 1-2 weeks. I may not need to stay on birth control. They are just using that to control the bleeding for now. He also has me going for a breast evaluation ,seeing that breast cancer run's so heavy in both sides of my immediate family... I have this test today. I will update you when I found out more.

Thanks for keeping us updated. There is nothing more important than to really appreciate the doctor that you see so frequently. Good to know everything is so far so good. I know I will be keeping up with your updates since my teen sister has been diagnosed with PCOS.

Well I'm happy to say the test result's came back and there are no signs of anything....Thank Goodness...!!! I was told that I will need to call my OBGYN and set up to have an ablation done ASAP. I am back to changing my pad once every 2 hrs and I'm back up to 2 birth control pills a day. I will update later this week again.

PCOS Update 1/17/10...Well it has been awhile since I last updated, a lot has gone on. Well to make a long story short I had the pap smear it was fine, no problem's. I was trying to get a biopsy done but, I had so much bleeding over 3 weeks that the Dr had no choice but to do and emergency D&C this past Tuesday. I was up to 4 birth control pills a day to control the bleeding and changing my pad 2-3 times an hr. I should have the results of all the testing by 1/18/10. I will update all than :)

Kraebel,
So sorry you've been through all that. I hope the emergency D&C accomplishes its mission and gets the bleeding stopped. Yes, please do come back and let us know when you get the results of your testing this week. And let us know if there's anything we can help you find more info on, OK?

Kraebel,
Thank you so much for coming back to update us!! I agree with Susan: The fact that you love your new ob/gyn is wonderful. When you have a doctor who takes the time you need (an hour!), who answers your questions and who treats you like the smart, thoughtful person you are, that's half the battle won right there.
Will be waiting to see how your testing goes and what the results are of your pap, as well as any other developments. Take care, and let us know!
