Laparoscopy Oopherectomy (repost)



a repost from a previous blog

A year into our marriage... I thought, maybe we can start getting pregnant. It never entered my mind that there would be a problem. Ever since I got my period in 5th grade, I've been having it "regularly irregular". When we couldn't conceive, I thought of mentioning to my OB that I never had regular periods. At that time, I have been missing my period for 3 months. She advised me to undergo a trans-vaginal ultrasound (TVU).

That first ultrasound in December 2009 showed a mass of about 5cms in my right ovary. My OB told me that I had 2 options; one is to have it surgically removed and the other one is to get an injection that would suppress my menstruation for 6 months, hoping that the cyst will become smaller within those months.
