Got my tests back

Dear Vickers, I am sorry I did not post a reply earlier, I did not log on for a few days, my brother's fiance is in the hospital, very very sick, and my husband and I have been on the outs this week, HECTIC!! I am SOOOO very happy about your test results! I knew it was not cancer, I will have to research that polyp, I believe that is what was causing the bleeding, I know they feed off estrogen so that is why the Doc is putting you on progesterone, probably to dry or "starve" it without estrogen the polyp with evaporate, thats good news! I am so happy for you. I hope your ankles are better, sitting at a desk will do that, they say to get up and walk around once every hour or so and wiggle and stretch your feet and legs when sitting at a desk, also the hot weather will make ankles swell, I do not think its anything to worry about, you could always take a mild diretic {probably spelled wrong} to get rid of the water, I retain water too. Let me know how you are and how the progesterone is, I like progesterone it makes me sleepy and calm, the estrogen makes me queasy and irratable, and thats the natural kind, could you see me on hormones!Whoa! God bless you, sending prayers, Debbie.

Glad to hear your results were okay! About the swollen feet, I think its pretty common, especially if it is hot where you live.

This is great!!! You may want to ask your doctor about the ankles -- It happens to me when I have spent the whole day working on the computer...I am sure it is nothing...as Rachel suggested -- put them up and relax:-) And try some peppermint lotion -- it helps:-) Have a great day! B

Swelling ankles at the end of the day is very common. Putting them up helps. Sometimes a foot soak is nice!

Thank God I do not have cancer! I can't tell you how worried I was about this!! The tests did say that I have an endometrial polyp. Does anyone know what that means? I am having to take progesterone pills for 10 days and then have to go back to the OB/GYN for a followup and I guess to be put on birth control to make me have regular cycles. Oiy - the things a woman has to deal with! Ok, so I have a worry today. When my mom had heart failure, she kept getting swollen ankles. But they were swollen all the time. And I mean really swollen. Being a panicker of the heart, I pay too much attention to little things like the size of my ankles. I had my cholesterol checked last week and it's normal. Logically, I'm thinking I'm being stupid, but the irrational fear creeps up. I noticed that when I come home from work my ankles tend to be a little swollen. After I sit for awhile with my feet up, it goes away. On the weekends, they don't swell at all. In the mornings my ankles are seriously thin. I sit at a desk all day. Could this be why my ankles swell a little? Does anyone have this problem? It's making me freak.
