So how big are the unwanted guests today?
Sep. 9th, 2025 05:54 pmThe ultrasound tech was thorough yesterday. Like around 30 minutes of grinding over my abdomen with the full bladder followed up by about fifteen minutes of digging for treasure with the wand. Thank goodness you're asked to finally empty the bladder before the wand is used. Sheesh. Anyway, I stalked the site until the report with the numbers came up so for anyone playing the home game, here are the differences from January (I'll translate into millimeters since the January one was centimeters but feel free to mentally move the decimal point):
Exophytic fibroid: January 117 x 104 x 136 vs yesterday 92 x 84 x 130 - so it shrunk a little
Right uterine fibroid: January 36 x 21 x 26 vs yesterday 33 x 36 x 40 - so that one grew
Left uterine fibroid: January 19 x 17 x 20 vs yesterday 26 x 18 x 23 - that one grew too
Anterior uterine fibroid: Wasn't on the January report vs yesterday 20 x 11 x 15. I got a new one? In only 8 months? Yikes
Still have my "tubular fluid-filled structure adjacent to the left ovary" which yesterday's folks didn't completely commit to it being a hydrosalpinx but the January one called it that, as well as the MRI back in October.
Uterus: January 88 x 37 x 53 vs yesterday 74 x 31 x 38. So it's...shrinking? Which is interesting since my endometrial thickness is 1 mm smaller too. My left ovary is slightly bigger and this gal yesterday actually found my poor right ovary that they couldn't see last time and it's tiny.
This made me scoff: Tubular fluid-filled left adnexal structure measuring up to 6.5 cm, relatively stable since prior ultrasound possibly representing hydrosalpinx. This could be further characterized with dedicated MRI.
Yeahhhh, ain't no MRI needed since it's going to be YOINKED along with the rest of the works in a few short weeks.
