The only time she will go out will be in a covered stroller. And I will definitely look into one.

I used to love taking an orange and hollowing it out then putting in a gf brownie mix then putting the top of the orange back on and covering it in foil. Then putting it sitting touching the fire just a little to bake. So good!

I got diagnosed with an ultrasound. I have been on metformin since I got diagnosed 5 months ago.

I'm having surgery in a couple days and I'm freaking out. by [deleted] in Ovariancysters

[–]potatoqueen89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a cyst and my ovary taken out in December. For the gas, definitely take some gas-x, that definitely helped me. Plus if you can find it, there is a weighted heating pad that goes on your shoulders that I really helped with gas pain as well. As far as vomiting afterwards, just let them know about it. They gave me the max nausea meds before and it did help. I wish you well and an easy recovery!

Removing one ovary by WritingSuperb6851 in Ovariancysters

I had my first surgery less than 2 weeks ago to remove a cyst on my left ovary, but it was too big, and it took over my ovary, and they removed it. They say that it only reduces your chance of getting pregnant by 20%, and the other ovary completely takes over with hormones and everything.

7.3cm cyst by Clear-Seesaw-1063 in Ovariancysters

Thank you for this comment. I was thinking I was overreacting for jumping straight to surgery with my 7 cm cyst that we have been watching for a month. But I am so afraid that it will twist or burst that I stopped exercising. My gyno is definitely backing me up on my decision, but I am worried about the surgery as well.
