I've been seeing doctors (ob-gyn and Family practice) for sypmtoms that I have been having. Two years ago, they said I had cysts. I had a normal pap and I didn't worry. Since then , I've had pains that wont go away, really dry skin/acne and more hair forming on my face and body. I went to my gyn and she did and ultra sound. There was a cyst on my left ovary and she didn't address any of my other symptoms. I went back 3 moths later and that cyst grew from 1.9 cm to 3.9cm and they found another one on my right ovary. both have been causing me some discomfort. I've been feeling tired, sick and my skin has gotten worse. I asked her if there is a blood test she could do to check my hormone levels, and she said it wouldn't help and that it was not really necessary. My husband and I have been trying the have a baby for two years now and I was not happy with the way this doctor didn't seem to care that I was worried about my ovaries and fertility. I asked her about surgery because of the pains and she said that I would lose my ovary if I did. Now, I am worried that my symptoms are showing that there is something more going on and it could have been taken care of by now. The first doctor who found the cysts two years ago was treating me for an ITU that I didn't have! She had me taking cipro for four days and called me to tell me to stop taking it because I didn't have an infection. She said I probably had kidney stones, which a CT scan showed otherwise. I've been going back and forth with these symptoms and not one of these doctors has taken blood to find out what is going on with me! i'm also getting these lumps that start off red and end up dark, on my face that wont go away. Intercourse is sometimes painful and I feel bloated all of the time. I can't sleep, my sides ache and I fear that I wont be able to have a baby because the doctors took too long to help me. I know about the different types of cysts, the symptoms for PCOS and I know about the "waiting" period regarding the cysts that are smaller than 6cm. But how do I know there isn't something more going on? Why would a doctor say that my cysts wont be a problem for me trying to get pregnant? WHy would she say that they should not be painful when I told her that they are?! I don't even know if I am ovulating every month. I am getting a period, but I know that it doesn't mean that I'm releasing an egg. What do I do?!
I am frustrated and worried.
