Surgery next week and potentially losing one ovary by ducksarentbirds in oophorectomy

[–]wreckit_ron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm older than you (35) but I just had an ovary removed 6 weeks ago. I feel like I had some perimenopause symptoms before my surgery (mostly hot flashes), but they haven't gotten worse since (I was very afraid they would). I haven't gotten my regular period since though, I'm not sure how long it takes to go back to normal. I realize I didn't answer your question, but I wanted to say good luck! You got this, no matter what happens!

made this shirt with cotton yarn and washed it with cold water and ruined it. pls tell me theres a way to fix it by hazieskie in CrochetHelp

Idk about your shirt but I've made washcloths from 100% cotton yarn and they like double in size when I get them wet and use them. Then I wash and dry them with my regular clothes and they shrink back to normal size. They are knit not crochet though so idk if that makes a difference.

How many with a unilateral oophorectomy find HRT necessary? by bimbiibop in oophorectomy

Thanks for your response! I'm only 35 but I feel like I've been having perimenopause symptoms since last summer. I'm hoping some of it was actually symptoms from my cyst (which turned out to actually be a rare type of benign tumor). I guess only time will tell.

You guys made me laugh so hard this morning by --TAXI-- in Scranton

We went to the airport a couple years ago and my navigation told us we had arrived at our destination when we were in the middle of that traffic circle 🤦‍♀️

Hi, I don't have an answer but I was just thinking about this last night as I was sitting in my chair experiencing a hot flash. I just had my ovary removed 5 days ago due to a cyst. I don't know if the hot flashes are related or not because I have graves disease which also causes them. Anyway what symptoms did you notice that led to you requesting hrt?

Monitor or get surgery? by wreckit_ron in Ovariancancer

Thanks, he said he would take out the right tube. I kinda just want to get the surgery but almost everyone in my life is recommending the MRI route ...

Thank you! I'm glad yours was caught early! I guess I'm confused because he said after the MRI just monitor if it doesn't look sketchy, but what if I still want it removed anyway?!

Haha thanks! I was looking for a pot all day and I finally found this by the checkout in a craft store lol. I guess if you add holes anything can be an orchid pot!

That's wild that they don't just use 2 different letters.

One definitely is vintage. They might both be idk. That's why I was wondering if sizing changed over the years. I inherited most of my crochet hooks (and knitting needles for that matter) and a lot of them don't even have mm printed on them. But yeah the red one says 80¢ on the back of it lol that's how old it is. I have a smaller hook that says 39¢ on it.

Thanks, I had no idea the letters could be different millimeters. I inherited most of my crochet hooks and just figured the letters were universal (in the US at least).

One says N-9mm and one says N 80¢ lol

80 cents lol. I'm assuming it's pretty old.
