Thread: enlarged ovary

For about a 18mo or so I have had a great deal of pelvic pain. Last Thanksgiving I was doubled over in pain that my husband and I thought that I might be passing a kidney stone. We thought that it might have been lodged in the urethra. The next morning I went to work thinking I would just go to the walk-in clinic near by and have them order a kidney ultrasound. The ARNP insisted it was a gyn problem and ordered a pelvic ultrasound instead. The ultrasound found that I have a small fibroid tumor on top of the uterus and a cyst on my ovary. My left ovary is enlarged and my urterine wall is thickening. In 2006 I had an ablasian because my periods were so severe that my doctor said that this would fix all of my problems. After I had the first ultrasound, I went to follow up with a new doctor. He ordered all kinds of tests: 2hr glucose/insulin tolerance test, vitamin d, ferritin, hdl, total cholesterol, tsh, reverse t3, free t4, t3 uptake and even ordered a study 5pt cortisol test. My results came back perfect, but the doctor says by other standards that my thyroid is out of wack and my ferritin is low. He says that is definitely my problem and put me on thyroid medicine. I went to him simply for my pelvic pain and asked him how he is going to treat that, he said that he didn't know and that the Thyroid medicine "should" help. I wasn't convinced and didn't take the medicine perscribed and didn't make a return visit. I figured that I just had to live with it. Now it has been a year since that visit, that I decided to get a second oppinion. This new doctor performed another ultrasound and found that I'm not releasing blood out of my uterus and that my uterus is full of old blood. The uterus has thickened even more 2x more from a year ago. I have to have a D&C in Jan with the possibility of hysterectomy if she can't puncture through all the scar tissue.

One huge issue that I didn't agree with her is that she says I'm getting ready to ovulate. My LMP was 12/03/08 and lasted for the most 48 hrs. I saw this new doctor 12/08/08 just five days after. There is no way I'm getting ready to ovulate. She messured the left ovary and determinded it that way. As I'm typing this thread I am having pain on the left side just like always. I am so FRUSTRATED that doctors can't tell me what is wrong. I think that I covered everything and I'm hoping that someone can help me.
