			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I&#8217;ve felt like a million different things were going on with my body, so I went and asked the doctor.</p>
<p>Doc took blood.  all my hormones came back fine, but my TSH was elevated.  So I repeated the bloodwork on Monday for TSH.  I should know tomorrow, but I expect that it&#8217;s still elevated and may have to treat my thyroids issue.  Hopefully this explains my excessive sweating and heat intolerance.</p>
<p>Had a mammogram. rt breast came back irregular, so I had to go back on Monday for a spot compression.  the lady said that it&#8217;s probably nothing, that because they didn&#8217;t have anything to compare to they have to be more vigilant.  So I&#8217;m not too worried but I&#8217;ll find out in a few weeks.<br />
Went and had a sonohysterogram yesterday. First they did a regular ultrasound and found I have polycystic ovaries. This was a surprise to me because a few months after monkey was born I had an ultrasound because of pain in my abdomen &#8211; they were specifically looking for PCOS and they weren&#8217;t there.  Actually, the lady asked me if I was trying to concieve again because I was REALLY fertile&#8230; So I guess to treat it, they may put me on some hormone treatment or birth control.</p>
<p>After the ultrasound, they did a transvaginal then sonohysterogram.  When they put the saline in my uterus, they noticed a growth or polyp in my uterine lining.  So, next step is a DNC to clean out the polyp.  I will hopefully get that scheduled today. The doctor didn&#8217;t tell me any complications from any of the above, he sounded like it was all normal and routine stuff, but I did my little internet search and found out some complications that I don&#8217;t think I should dwell on just yet.  One of which is endometrium cancer.  So we shall see.</p>
