BG, did they say how thick your endometrium is? I have hyperplasia too but provera treatment has never been mentioned. Could baby aspirin be used as an alternative?
Increased androgens can be a sign of diabetes or insulin resistance...
I hope you get answers and still get to ttc (not that you're trying )
n2l - i had a gtt again and he reckons nothing amiss there - but the insulin tests were not done so i don't know that it was an accurate representation of the situation - not sure how thick the endometrium is - i don't think it's a reflection of an actual measurement (though i know it was thicker than normal) - from the way he was talking it was more about the density of the cells in the layer.
i have done uni studies in all this stuff, but it's so many years ago and i don't want to go reading up with Dr Google because i CAN interpret the info that is in med-speak (lol) and i don't want to freak myself out any more than i am already
TFB - it's not a mini pill - it's just progesterone - i don't get how it will work though - he said the aim is to reduce the density of the endometrium to reduce the risk of it becoming cancerous. he didn't say anything about it stopping us having a child (and i said again today about not preventing) but given i know how hard it was for E, i can't see how adding ONLY progesterone will help
i'd LOVE to be able to do that tash - but at the moment, i'm having to rely on the public system - thankfully the gyne i'm seeing is one of the best in the area (rep wise) and the one that has chosen to bulk bill.
DH isn't working due to his eyes failing, and i'm only working part time (cos i need time off for all the crap going on in my life - it's easier to be flexible with days and swap them and still get paid, rather than taking lwop and making life difficult for us later due to poor work performance) - our budget is so tight i'd have to sell a kidney to do anything (and no one would buy it cos my body is so screwed up!)
When I was on provera recently, the GP explained that it would force a withdrawal bleed. So I had to take it for 14 days, every day. Then 3 days after I stopped taking it, the incredible bleeding started. You know that I ten to bleed for weeks on end as well, and that's actually why I went on the provera. So for 14 days I didn't bleed, and then I bled for about a week after the pills finished - big clots, palm sized It's like a chemical d&c, sometimes it's enough to clear EVERYTHING out so you don't need an actual d&c, y'know?
this is a permanent thing by the way he's talking Keike - and he said "regular light bleed" - i don't get why every six weeks is a bad thing - it's the prolonged bleeding that is a problem - not how often it's happening
and how the beep is it going to "help" us to have a natural pregnancy?
I thought the minipill was just progesterone? You can ask for alternative treatment, or say you're going to do this for 3 months and see if it helps but no longer.
i'm thinking i'll do it til we have post d&c consultation and then lay it on the line more about WANTING more kids and not wanting to be on anything that could impact that. i'm happy to do it every few months (initial suggestion) to bring on a decent bleed if necessary - but i'm not sure i want to be on it full time.
i'm petrified of the moodiness too - i remember being slightly psycho when i was on it before - i will go cold turkey if it makes me crazy - E deserves better than that
