Today was my appointment for the follow-up sonogram. Just to catch everyone up, I had a pelvic sono and they saw a fibroid and my uterus was enlarged and my uterus lining was really thick. So my OBGYN wanted to do a DNC procedure where she would put my out and take a closer look at something they saw that was not very clear because my uterus lining was thick, but most of all to strip the lining. Yeah, I know TMI. Anyways, I talked to my friend who suggested that why don't I try this herbal supplement Red Raspberry Leaf Extract for a month and get a follow-up sono after my next period. This is something her Midwife had told her about. My OB reluctantly agreed to let me wait a month, but I didn't tell her I was going to take a herbal supplement. I didn't know how she felt about herbal supplements and so I decided to wait and see what the next sono showed.
I took it a month and then had my period last week and noticed a significant reduction in the problems that I was having during that time. The sono showed that my uterus lining is very healthy not all "raggedy" like the last time. That is the term the sonographer used. My uterus looked to be a normal size and so she is sending the pictures to the Radiologist to let him take a look and send a report to my Dr. So the only question I have now is that one spot that they couldn't really see what it might be or even if there is anything there anymore, the sonographer did not mention seeing anything. I hopefully will hear from them tomorrow, but if not I will call them tomorrow afternoon and see what they have to say. I have been praying that there is nothing there now and everything would be healthy. Praise God that everything did look healthy, and I will continue to pray that the report reflects that.
