I know Mari, it is too much, and even just dealing with the cyst alone is too much mentally. 4 mm is the size of a pea and scary enough to cope with, let alone the thought of surgery to get rid of it. I am running scared, that's for sure. I hope that I can get through the biopsy okay. Having second thoughts about the tube issue, reading that women who've had htat done are more prone to getting these cysts, so I definitely don't want it done now. I guess it's condoms for us...So scared...All I can say is thank God for the buspar, I would be a sniveling mess otherwise with my stomach in knots and my heart racing all the time. :(

thinking of you pammie,

I am so glad that you are having a better day, It sounds great about the Buspar, I never took it or knew much about ti. I have not had money for my Lexapro for anxiety/panic for a month now and really need something to take the edge off.

I had the uterine ablation several yars ago for the same reason. I had it done as a D&C under versed. Never had ovarian problems. After that procedure I did take the depo provera shots even though I had my tubes tied.

I hope that everything is much improved after they tinker around and tune ya up.
Hugs

One thing I am worried about is the Depo shot messing with my head emotionally. Did you find it was okay or were you triggered into depression and increased anxiety with the depo shot? I am afraid that many years down the road ovarian cysts will develop on my remaining ovary if I let them tie the tube. I don't know quite what to do, I wish I knew one way or another if I was truly in perimenapause or not.

Thank you for the reply Di, and thanks for the hugs. :hug: Thank you too Beth! :hug:

Pam,
Did a MD give you advice about your options?
It seems that you should not have to figure this out on your own.

No it was a Nurse or Nurse Practitioner, not sure which, I'll have to ask. Anyway once they do the biopsy I will be referred to the doctor (gyn) and she will be able to give me a better idea of what I can do, though I am leaning towards letting them give me some form of birth control, I just don't know what yet. I really do not know what to think about the cyst, and if they will be able to remove it and save the ovary, I don't know. They probably will try but it might be better to remove it so it doesn't come back. :(

Well we did the biopsy this morning, it hurt like heck, really bad menstral cramping and weird feeling on the cervix as they put this clamp thing on it to keep it from moving...UGH! IT stinks, BUT it's OVER! I got through it, now to see what's next, I get results soon, next week she's gonna call me, then refer me to the dr (obygyn) and I'll meet with her and see how it's all gonna go down with treatment. I just pray this lining thing isn't endomentrial cancer or the precusor of it, or I might end up having to have a hystrectomy. I am still scared, but half the battle is over, the dreaded biopsy is DONE! :)

Dear Pam,
I'm glad to hear your news.

You're right. Half the battle is over.
It's good that that part is over for you.

I keep hoping for you that the next part is going to go well.

Take care.

THanks Mari! I feel real good today considering what I went through yesterday. I will post again to let everyone know the results. :) I've been real busy with keeping Jackie entertained. LOL! :D

OMG I just read the ultrasound report, it's NOT 4 Millimeters, it's over 4 CENTIMETERS! OMG I am really freaking out on this one....Oh man I want this out of me! *sobs*
