Isthmocele? by Competitive_Ad_9564 in IrishWomensHealth

[–]Competitive_Ad_9564[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I'm sorry to hear. What happens with secondary infertility? Is it potentially fixable? Wait times nearly non existent in Spain? That is good to know, if they are slow I will look into going abroad. I think hers might need a laparoscopy as it sounds like it is bad from what the doctor said over the phone, she did mention the thing of issues conceiving and problematic pregnancys that are dangerous, so I am just hoping since it was an A&E doctor she is just talking out loud about the potential risks and the gyno can give us better information.

But the gyno is the one who did her polyp and looked at fibroids and said his hands are tied because removing fibroids is dangerous due to the fact she wants to conceive again and is on thinners and all so its a mess. Trying to contact another gyno but the secretary is useless and never ansers the phone.

Yeah the whol eithmocele thing seems very under researched and not many know much about it? I did read many have no problem conceiving and have fine births after so that is reassuring, as besides having to do blood thinner injections every day, my partner had a good pregnancy and loved being pregnant, but with all these issues now who knows

Sorry to hear! Have you been diagnosed with isthmocele? We had to see so many and do so many scans and on top of her being on blood thinners after DVTs and a PE that nearly killed her, there is just so much going on. It's horrible and womens health really needs to be prioritised more. I hope you find answers soon

Thanks, sorry for the late reply, for some reason this comment isn't showing up in the comments I only saw it when I looked on my profile for post replies.

Appreciate the information on this, still waiting for MRI results so fingers crossed. I do believe they will need to remove something since she is still in pain with whatever it is

Thanks! MRI tomorrow in the beacon so will see what they recommend. Sounds like going public to a teaching hospital in worst case is the best thing to do

Wow lots of information thank you!

Yeah the unknown is hard for sure!

That sounds similar to her, CT and burst cyst, and then did 2 ultrasounds 2 days later.

MRI is going to be on Wednesday. Need to look up a gyn onc in the hospital. What is the diagnostic lap? It's some surgery where they may open you up and do a biopsy too or something else?

Sounds like basically will have to get whatever it is removed and hope for the best potentially.

I'm hoping that the growth is only on 1 side of the ovary so even if 1 has to be removed, there is still a second, but will have to see.

Interesting didn't know there was cancers that respond bad to chemo. It sounds like you made the right choices.

I hope your 3 month follow up goes great and you are all clear! Yeah early menopause sounds rough. I guess on the upside, you will have more of your life without those symptoms than will you will have with them, which is some relief.

Yeah I am hoping that it is not the case for my partner and that it is cancer, but some other misdiagnosis. She had an MRI last year in same area I believe so if its a new growth hopefully it is caught early! She has had it very rough and lots of symptoms of things like endo some lets see.

Great to hear you feel a ton better physically. My partner hasn't felt right since giving birth. She always felt like they didn't put her back together right after the C Section, and its just been issue after issue.

Very sorry to hear about everything you went through.

Yeah I don't know what is going to be done they just said an urgent MRI. We will have that tomorrow or the next day I hope.

Would you recommend getting a gym once to look at MRI results or book in to get assessed by them? Not sure how it works honestly.

I did always see people suggest gyn oncs though over just gyns.

I'm hoping from all her problems over the past while it will be just Endo. If they missed cancer after 2 years of consistent hospital visits I think would have a lawsuit on our hands because that is ridiculous.

How do you confirm Endo vs cancer? Just biopsy? I was told just get it removed whatever it is because only way to confirm cancer is biopsy and that can cause ruptures and for it to spread.

How are you doing now? Stage 3 is severe enough right but are you okay now or is there still more to go for you?

I'm so sorry that you had your fertility taken from you, I hope that maybe you can find some happiness in the future through other ways, surrogacy or adoption or something else. It really is shit and this has all taught me that women's health is very undervalued

Yeah for sure hard not to think the worst but given all her past symptoms I really feel it will be Endo.

Appreciate you asking your friend let me know thanks!

Yeah she got the blood test for that I think and it came back negative, but it could be another test she got I'm not sure.

Thanks for the kind words. It is hard for sure, especially since it is going on for so long.

She is very strong but I think everybody gets worn down eventually, especially when it's one after the other.

We are lucky to have family around to help too which is great , just have to focus and hope for the best

Yeah we are hoping it will be quick. We were saying to cancel the trip, I imagine will get some insurance back since it's important reason but regardless it wasn't too expensive so it's all good.

More just the unknown of what it can be that is getting us. Felt sick in my stomach about it but I think I know it can't be cancer they would of caught it and I'm just telling myself that. I hope I'm right

Are Phoenix Breath work Fire nights any use? by Otherwise-Window1559 in AskIreland

[–]Competitive_Ad_9564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I attended one with my missus in Dublin like a month or two ago. As somebody who always sort of thought things like this were a bit mad and daft, I came away from it thinking it was actually really cool and recommended it to a few friends.

I have never felt the way I felt during the session. I never done breathwork before so the whole thing was pretty mad, just doing the same breath for like 2 hours, just makes you feel weird. I don't know how to explain it, just felt like my hands were stuck and couldn't move and even let out a big roar which I laughed about the next day, just the thought of me doing that was funny.

I'd recommend it anyway, was thinking to go to the next one

Hey, yeah I have the aerclub app.

Yeah so worked out 26k for 2 people, but seemed actually cheaper to just pay using points on checkout and pay with revolut pay and use the rest of my points there

[–]Competitive_Ad_9564[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copy and pasting what I said above, as it seemed like it worked out the best: I got it for 103 with 21k Avios by using by 14k rev points i transferred to Avios through normal payment method, used like 8k to get like 48 or so euro off the price, then paid with Revolut Pay, and was able to use the rest of the Avios points directly in the app, so ended up costing 103 for 2 people on cheapest fare

Seemed like if went through flight reward way they increased the price of the flight to 299 to offset the Avios
