I am in need of advice! Please Help!From: Alexis (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Mar 31 12:25:16 2005
Iam 19 and have had severe pelvic pain since I was 13, I just thought that I had painful periods and that I would have to learn to deal with it. I began birth control pills for cysts on my ovaries when I was 15 and have been on some type of contraceptive since. The doctor thought that the cysts would go away and that I would not have anymore problems. >From there I changed docs because the one I was seeing just wanted to keep me on highly sedadtive pain pills. When I changed OB/GYNs he first changed my dosage then placed me on a constant cycle of pills to stop my cycle. When that didn't work he placed me on Depo-Provera. I have had 2 laps, and my new OB/GYN found Endo after the second surgury it was under my uterus, I also had a pelvic full of fluid that he though would be from cysts that had ruptured causing all my pain. My pain diminished for about four months, but now it is back in full force and getting worse every day. My doctors says my next step is Lupron. I have read awful things about Lupron and that you can only use it for 6 months then it all comes back. I don't think it is worth the damage and suffering. I have also read about the infertility rates and how they increase with the disease. I have been told not to wait too long to try having a child.Should I be concerned about the large amout of fluid that they always find? I have had 15 or so ultrasounds in which the tech alwys has trouble finding my left ovary because of the of fluid and cysts like masses. Every time I ask the doc about it he says that I must have had a cysts burst. Why am I forming cysts if I have not had a cycle in over a year and a half because of the medications. Should I worry that I was told by the tech that my right ovary looked ok, but my left she just couldn't find well enough to show me? I am at a loss right now, what should I do next? My boyfriend and I are looking to get married in the near future and have talked about how near it should be because of the chances of bearing children! I am just worried that things are not all ok with me right now, what types of things should I do next? Is Lupron the way to go, and should I worry about my ovary that is all but totally visable? I have thought about going back on the pill because the Depo is kicking my butt. I am so emotional and tired all the time. I want to feel normal again. If I go back on the pill will it help my chances of having a child easier when I am ready? I am still new to all this and I need advice. HELP!!
