Ultrasound results and need advice

Hi guys,

First time poster here. Quick background: I am 26 (almost 27) with severe period pain and periods which used to be every 24 days but now cycle is about 31-33 days. A few years ago had an ultrasound which showed some cysts so was put on the mini pill which i stopped taking in September. I am in a long term relationship and we have not used any contraception since September but no pregnancies in sight.

Recently everything has been going a little haywire so went back to gp to speak to them and had an ultrasounds. The results:

right ovary 12.2mls, left 8.8mls

7mm anechoic nabothian cyst at the cervical area

both ovaries with small peripheral cysts (averaging 3-6mm) with right ovary demonstrating features of PCO.

Now I spoke to the GP over the phone, who said to google it, decide what I want to do and come back to him. Not very helpful because I don't really know what my options are? He also told me to lose weight but I'm 45kg at 5'3" with BMI of 17.5

I've been googling but not sure what to be looking for really. Is PCO different than PCOS? and why, if both ovaries have the cysts, is only the right one demonstrating features of PCO? Also - what are my options? If anyone is able to advise, I'd be very grateful.

Hi

Sorry you are going through this, it must be really stressful.

Someone will come along with more informed advice than me but just thought I’d mention my first thought when I read this - that it is likely your irregular periods and infertility is due to being quite severely underweight. Might be something to think about.

Wish you the best
