I am procrastinating today

and am really wandering aimlessly around the net, just not wanting to do anything. Why?

Because I think I am stressing too much about my female problems. Last week turned out to be brief visit from mother nature and tonight I take the last of the Provera. I think last week happened because I accidentally took one pill too soon (meant to take it at night every 24 hrs but ended up taking it by mistake in the morning, only 9 hours between doses, when I normally take my thyroid pill. So ended up with a gap of 39 hours between pills . So I am waiting in trepidation of what I assume will be another visit by mother nature come Weds night/Thurs morning.

Anyway in the meantime, being an Internet nut, I have been busy looking up any information on fluid in the uterus (not much as it turns out). It appears its an uncommon complication of an ablation (or its just not been reported about) and its part of what is called post ablation syndrome. Basically scar tissue has been formed around the tissue that was scrapped away from the endometrial lining. As I am still ovulating, this lining increases as your cycle does its normal thing, leading to a period. Add adenomyosis to the mix and an overactive endometrial lining, and you have a huge problem. Due to the scarring, the blood is basically trapped behind a barrier when I do have a period.

Anyway I am pessimistic about the chances of the provera working to be honest and to be honest, the thought of a hysterectomy scares the life out of me. Having had a laparotomy in 1988 because of a pelvic abscess I have extensive adhesions so a vaginal hysterectomy is probably out of the question.

I will be seeing my GP next week for the results of my thyroid test (the gynae thought my tsh was too high and that was why I was bleeding. My GP says, its usually the reverse situation!), so I will be asking his opinion plus whether he feels I should get a 2nd opinion before going any further.

I suspect I will be having a few sleepless nights in the next month or so.
