Bulky Ovary??!! endocrinologist?

[ineedaseed]

Hi Ladies

well got my results tonight from doc and this is what they say....

"Both ovaries contain multiple follicles. the right ovary is bulky with a volume of 18.4ml. The left ovary measures 6.8ml. There is a trace of free fluid within the POD. Ultrasound appearances are suggestive of polycystic ovaries".

can anyone shed some light on what the bulky ovary means? or what a POD is?

I have been prescribed metformin and being referred to endocrinologist. does anyone know what the endocrinologist will do?

Thanks ladies! xx

FECK knows!! As for the "bulky" ovary, I was told one of mine is considerably larger than what is considered normal (mine was decribed as "bloated" and measured at 19ml - all v flattering!) - another classic pcos sign apparently.

Parcel shipping out shortly....

thanks linds my right is 3 times bigger than the left! weird thing is i been getting pain in the left! ooo errrr.....

 

[DragonMummy]

My right is the dodgy one too I think - but the left one is swollen to, but not to the same extent. I seem to remember the numbers being 19 and 11.... but it was months ago now

i have my print out here to obsess over yeah the other one is not too great either! this is where the womb window comes in handy!

 

[DragonMummy]

ahhh the womb window! still waiting to hear from the patents office about that....

So you did get your results back. Hmmm POD? Polycystic Ovarian Disease?? Not syndrome...but why word it the way they did? I don't get it. All we know at this point is you have cysts on your ovaries...they going to do bloods again I hope?

 

[ineedaseed]

waiting for a referral to fs, wont do it till hubby sa back grrrrr.....

 

[ineedaseed]

nah i dont think POD is polycystic ovarian disease, it says there is fluid within the pod?

 

[grneyednurse]

Yea and the POD is what? I don't have a clue at the mo' as I have never heard of this acronym when talking about an ovary? Probably a big word...hmmm

 

[grneyednurse]

I found what I think is POD: Pouch of Douglas...reading what it is...brb

 

[grneyednurse]

It's a recto-uterine pouch kinda where the bunghole and vagina meet up top inside...way up...do not know what fluid in this would mean? Old cum? jk lol Oh boy! More questions!

 

[DragonMummy]

POD = Pouch of Douglas, Cul-de-Sac, the space between the uterus and Colon

 

[DragonMummy]

next question. who the fuck is Douglas? And what's he doing leaving his pouch in your ovary?

 

[grneyednurse]

Yay DM we got the answer!

 

[grneyednurse]

Cul de sac in INAS vagina? Nooooooo lol! Ha ha ha

 

[DragonMummy]

well i think she'd be properly pissed if she had a through road or a motorway.....

 

[grneyednurse]

Fluid in the POD indicates ovulation according to this dorcus: https://www.lakshdeep.com/femaleinfertility.htm

 

[grneyednurse]

Yea damn straight through to the mouth...could just perfrom fellatio and get pregnant...imagine if we all cut our cul de sacs!

 

[ineedaseed]

Well thanks for that website, very good on telling next steps!

How nice of doug to set up camp in me, since when could people enter without permission?!! Good to see it is a cul de sac. I lived in a cul de sac when growing up and it wasn't too big, compared to a dual carriageway which is quite big. Mmmmm.....
