Ultrasound

I had my ultrasound yesterday.
It was at a specialist women's ultrasound clinic.
Boy there's a massive difference between the private ultrasound clinics and the medical imagining clinic I had the first one done at.
Also I've got to say I was a little jealous of all the women bringing out there 3D baby pics. I guess who wants pics of their ovaries? Lol.
The clinic was really nice, the suite was massive with its own loo, and there was a massive plasma on the wall showing you everything she was doing.
This compares to the tiny room in the medical imagining place with a somewhat cranky technician and no monitor besides the technicians one.
The dr doing it was also extremely nice and enabled me to ask a lot of questions as well as explained what she was showing me.
Basically she found same kind of findings as the last one. Looks like polycystic ovaries with heaps of follicles of each >28 on each.
Some previous endo which is healing, uterus is great though.
This is just what i could tell, as I don't get the results until I see the gyn.
So I'm anxious to see the gyn and get the results!

Where have you been?

AF returned last night. Don't ask me where it's been for the last 7 months but I'm glad (didn't miss some things!) that it's back.
I've had headaches and cramps for the last week and now I know why.
Now the question is when will it come next?

How helpful?

So I had my gyn appointment.
Basically I waited an hour and a half to see her for 15 minutes.
She said the same kind of things as my GP said.
Only things different were she wasn't too worried about the other things on the ultrasound besides the PCOS ovaries. And she wants me to get a specialist ultrasound after my next AF. And suggested to take progesterone to speed it along.
She did say my uterus looks good which is nice!
And she also wasn't too worried about the high prolactin as she said any kind of breast situation before the test can distort the results (accidental and during intercourse etc).
Basically she just wants to compare the previous ultrasound and the one that will be done after the next AF and go from there.
It was kind of annoying waiting for so long to see how for so little. I thought she would have an ultrasound machine on her practice and do one then. But she didn't and charged just over $200 for not much new information.
