and its kicking in like it should, except that just means I feel rough tonight. My back is sore, the tops of my thighs are sore, my stomach is sore and generally I feel like crap! Didn’t help that that I was in the frame shop today and as usual I was the pack horse who did the freight.  I am actually beginning to like being on the cut table more than being in the frame shop.

Why am I on Provera, (which is derived from the female hormone progesterone but is not natural), you  may ask, given all the nasty things it can do to you?  Well, suddenly after 9 months, I had a prolonged period, so I duly went along to the gynaecologist.  I can a scan and a blood test, plus what seems to be the prerequisite biopsy.

The good news is that the biopsy came back negative for anything nasty.  However the blood test showed that I am still ovulating with a current reading of 7 ( previously 29) and the scan revealedl fluid in my uterus plus several fibroids.  Actually the fluid had been observed in my previous scan in Jan but the doctor wasn’t too concerned then. She actually missed it on the report from the radiologist, so I had to point it out to her because the radiologist had mentioned it as she did the scan.  However, this time, it was large enough for even me to see as the scan was being done ( the Doc said it was like a fetal sac which is obviously impossible, tubes tied 19 yrs ago).  So the provera is a 2 month 10 day course to induce my periods and hopefully flush the offending fluid from my uterus.

I must admit I wasn’t  exactly dancing with joy when she told me that was was her course of action as I knew with the adenomyosis I have, I would be where I am now, miserable   However, in the long run if it gets rid of the fluid build up (probably due to scaring caused by the ablation I had done 4 yrs ago) it will avoid any operations which in my book, is worth some agony.

Anyway I am glad I am not at work tomorrow and we will see how I feel on Saturday whether I go in or not.  No doubt there will be more freight for me to  unpack! Hopefully by then I will be over the worse of it and then I will have the joy of repeating the process on the 1st October.  Oh what Joy!
