>>>...(to see if you are menopausal)...<<<

You're joking, right? If not....what's the youngest a woman can have actual menopause?

>>> For any other tests, I'd recommend you

see an endocrinologist -- you really need a specialist .<<<

Her subspecialty is endo. Thanks for the test names. <S>

>>>Don't know, that's why it's "wierd stuff", kinda like your blue
discharge ( that's in the "very wierd stuff" category)<<<

<G> I know, you should have seen my gyn's expression when she say it....the Urologist was pretty...suprised, too. Seriously though, have you ever heard of something like blue discharge in one of your patients before?

>>> With the amount of pain you describe, a laparoscopy may be in order --
if you have a laparoscopy, I'd do ahysteroscopy at the same time to look inside the uterus and do directed(meaning, we can see what we're doing) biopsies.<<<

I am having one in April, can't be sooner unfortunately. : ( I will ask about the hysteroscopy...is there any special prep you have to do prior to that, or other after-effects of the procedure? Will I need some sort of follow-up apt(s) after the procedure, or will that depend only on the findings? Also, what is the recovery time even if I dont have it...and if I am feeling well enough, how soon after will it be safe for me to take an 1.5 hour flight?

Thanks for your help, Dr. Shanahan. <S>

Take Care,
