2,500 iu per drop.do you know how many iu's that is?
Vitamin E is, according to Ray, one of the best anti-estrogens around. I notice that it isn't on your list of supplements.
Please do keep us posted. And good luck.
Maybe one or several of the supplements you are taking are causing elevated estrogen, and could be responsible for the cyst. If I take even 250 mg of aspirin, I retain water for several days,, and you are taking 1000 mg. Have you considered stopping all supplements, waiting, then adding one back at a time, to see how you respond?
5 drops is what stopped my hair from falling out. Now I do 3 drops most of the time and then I'll do a high dose once a week.do you know how many iu's that is?
Wow! You must feel better!!! Thanks for the update. I hope you continue to heal well.
Hi All. I just wanted to post an update. I had surgery April 6th. I honestly do not think any amount of 'peating' would have helped this monster shrink. I've included a dropbox link below for those of you who want to see it. Brace yourself! I've been calling it my alien baby.
I'm very grateful the pathology report showed that all tests were benign. The cyst measured a whopping 37.7 x 19.3 x 18.5 cm (around 15 inches), not including the fallopian tube which measured 11.5 x 0.5 cm. I was surprised it only weighed 12 pounds. I mean, 12 pounds is heavy, don't get me wrong, but the picture looks like it weighs much more than that!
I had my staples removed yesterday (there were 46 and my incision is 18" vertical on my torso) so I'm hoping I'll start feeling even better now. I'm moving around a lot with minimal pain and of course 'peating' to help myself heal....luv my homemade jello.
I'm noticing some things with my body, for example my glucose clearance is amazing, not perfect. I'm not sure if it's just the reduction in pain and my ability to sleep more or if the actual tumor was causing something to go haywire. I was Dx with T2D 2 years ago (during a time when I was very ill). I was only doing insulin and now I'm noticing I can drink regular coke, drink OJ, eat my sugar laden homemade jello, yogurt with jam (all for bfast) and then check my blood sugar 2 hours later and it's 106....without taking any insulin. I'm curious to see how my body is without chronic pain and the ability to be mobile, something I haven't experienced in the last 3 years!
Thanks for the support when I first posted this.
Oh wow!! I just saw this thread, or else I would have responded MUCH sooner. I think you made the best decision. That had to come out, and I'm guessing you are young enough to recuperate fairly easily, though it may take a good amount of time.
I had a grapefruit size ovarian growth 3 years ago that I had removed, along with my left ovary. I experienced the horrible digestive issues and pain you mentioned, which was how I discovered it in the first place. Did you have to have your ovary removed as well? My growth - they referred to it as a benign tumor - caused multiple torsions and cut off the blood flow to my ovary, so in cases like this, I think surgery is the only option if it doesn't shrink away. And I'm sure you will be feeling better! It's probably good you were taking aspirin and progesterone because who knows what your "Alien" baby could have become!
That being said, regrets I had post surgery - I didn't ask my doctor for all the specifics on my particular situation. I would really ask your doctor to read you all notes from him and the oncologist. It wasn't until I stopped menstruating and went back to my gyno and had him review his notes that he told me, "oh yeah - your other ovary was a huge mess and we really thought you had cancer." I discovered RP after my surgery, but if I had known it was as bad as this, I would have taken much bigger action in the healing process. So if you can press your gyno for all the details, I think it will be really helpful for you in your recovery. Once I realized what my situation was (shrinking remaining ovary and early onset of menopause), I started taking thyroid and mega-dozing progesterone - was averaging a bottle of progest-e per week. After a few months of this, my right ovary had returned to it's normal size and was looking healthy on the ultra-sound.
Anyhow, I am very sorry that you had to go through all of this, but I hope you will feel better and heal :) Don't be afraid to rest and lie in bed for weeks if necessary - LOL :) Keep us updated!! And don't stop using that progesterone!! It's been a life-saver for me post surgery - my body is still returning to "normal", but I plan to take progesterone for the rest of my days.
Best Wishes!
So glad to hear you're free of that burden cyst and recovering well. Take care.
Congratulations . :)
