Bad news at u/s today

Hi girls,

Today I had my long-awaited u/s and sonohysterogram. The RE (not my regular one) found 'something' in there. He wasn't sure if it was a fibroid, or just some leftover tissue from

. (I'm only cd6 today). My follow-up appt with my RE is next week. Needless to say, I'm worried sick. The reason he even scheduled this procedure was because I have a very heavy flow with lots of clots on cd1 and 2 each month. So, it's going to be a very long week for me. I just posted over on the Fibroids board here, and I think ultimately what I'm looking for is some reassurance.

Plus, I'm nervous about even just seeing my RE next week, because my weight isn't down where he'd like it. I weighed myself this morning, and the scale said I've only lost 2 pounds in the last 3 weeks. @%#$*!^* scale!!! I know I've gained muscle, and my body is changing, because yesterday, I comfortably zipped up a pair of jeans I haven't been able to wear since February. It felt great to wear those yesterday. But then to see a paltry 2 pounds gone on the scale this morning was very crappy. And then my appt today. Ugh!

So, I think I'm going to go for a nice long bike ride and burn off some of this stress. By the way, anyone here ever have to deal with a fibroid issue? I'd appreciate any info you could send my way!

Thanks for listening to me ramble on, girls!

Im so sorry about your appointment today! About your weight loss, dont worry,you must be doing something right if you could fit comfortably into your jeans! Plus they say that u lose inches before weight anyways

I hope everything turns out good for you! Good luck

NEVER FORGET MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT!!!

If you are working out then you are building muscle. Keep track of your measurments and not just the scale. YOu'll get too disappointed at the scale.

If you have measurments with you at your next appointment and let him know that you are dropping sizes then he shouldn't get on you about the scale number. If he does then I'll come over and

I hope it turns out to be nothing serious and that they can figure out what needs to be done to put a bun in your oven.

Boy do I understand your frustration with the scale. I have exactly the same thing happening. I can get into jeans I wore when I was 15 pounds lighter but that isn't what the scale says. Dang scale! You and I both know we are losing inches and at some point the scale will reflect our progress. We both should stay off the scale (although I think I am OCD about it - LOL) Hang in there. We can do it together!
