To those with medical knowledge on polyovarian cysts...

Hey,
I've posted a previous thread on wanting encouragement on why WU is not working even tho I was on Breast Sculptor for a month then immediately switched to WU and now been on WU for 7-8 weeks...but nothing, no tingles, no growth nothing...
Anyway recently i went to the doctors because I've always got problems with my periods... ie very irregular.. so irregular that at the beginning of this year I didn't have a period for about 6-7 months... so (July) then it was very bang on regular for next two months(sept) now i've not had a period since sept(I think) So My GP sent me off for bloodtests in July to test for hormone etc and then had a recent pelvic scan beginning of this month. Turns out bloodtest shows normal hormones, yet scan shows suspected polyovarian cysts...smthing to do with the way the follicles on ovaries are arranged, but the GP still can't say for definate I have them...just that the follicles as well as the v irregular periods...
I wonder if the lack of periods can be the cause to my breast growth...obviously I am asking these questions instead my own GP cos she has no idea I am taking WU..I'd be so embarassed..so if there is sm1 here who has medical knowledge please help...
Also I read on previous post about Thyroid...could I have this..cos I have extremely cold hands and feet, sometimes suffer from insomnia.bit bloating to tummy and recent flabbage to tummy( but could be side effect of WU)..but surely when I had my blood test etc the doc would have checked my thyroid???I am uncertain as I can't remember!My mum also used to suffer form thyroid in her 20s.
I weigh 125 lbs 5'5 tall, definite pear shape with fat to lower body and increasing even tho I exercise for 30 mins a day....so I am deffo no underweight.
anyway I hope to hear you responses as my main worry is the lack of periods and if it can affect the WonderUp working?? Also thyroid???

Hi J
Is there any way you can contact your doctor and ask if your bloods were checked for hypo/hyperthyroidism? There are so many tests available for so many things, so it is possible that your bloods weren't checked for the thyroid thing.
Some of your symptoms sound like they may be related with an underactive thyroid. Here are some symptoms, but you don't have to have all of them to be affected.
Hypothyroidism - Underactive thyroid condition
Allergies (developing or worsening)
Anxiety
Breathing difficulties (shortness of breath, chest tightness)
Cold body temperature (feeling cold too)
Constipation (not usually relieved with the usual aids)
Depression
Dizziness (often accompanied with vertigo)
Eye problems (bulging eyes; gritty, dry, achy, blurry, irritated, red eyes; light sensitivity; double vision; jumpy eyes)
Facial puffiness (eyes, lids too)
Fatigue (despite sleep sufficiency)
Fertility problems (miscarriage too)
Goiter (enlarged thyroid gland)
Hair problems (coarse, dry texture) (hypothyroid hair loss: head and outer edge of eyebrow )
Hearing disabilities (tinnitus, ear ringing)
High cholesterol levels
Infections (less resistance to them)
Low blood pressure
Menstrual changes (flow, duration)
Mental Challenges (brain fog, lack of focus, concentration)
Mood changes
Muscle and joint aches (severe, especially hands and feet)
Nail problems (dry, brittle)
PMS (premenstrual syndrome)
Sexual dysfunction (low drive in both sexes, impotence in men)
Skin changes (dry, itchy, patchy)
Sleep apnea (lapses of breath while sleeping) and snoring
Slow pulse
Throat problems (swallowing difficulty)
Voice changes (hoarse, husky)
Weakness (overall, all the time)
Weight fluctuation (gain or loss)
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. This tends to slow down the body's functions. Approximately 1 in 50 women and 1 in 1000 men will develop symptoms of hypothyroidism at some stage in their lives. So if your body's functions are being slowed down, then it is possible that this may counteract the positive actions of any herbs you are taking for NBE.
The only way you can know for sure is to contact your doc and ask for a thyroid test.
Wish I could be of more help to you.
Good luck and please let us know how things go.
Love

Kelp is a natural source of iodine and can have a normalising effect on hypothyroidism. But, the iodine content in kelp may cause hyper- or hypothyroidism, if taken in excessive amounts, and may interfere with existing treatment for abnormal thyroid function. The iodine content in kelp has been associated with acne eruptions and may aggravate pre-existing acne. Elevated urinary arsenic concentrations have also been traced to the ingestion of kelp tablets. As such, kelp used as a food and/or for a medicinal product should not exceed arsenic levels above 3.0 ppm and lead levels above 10.0 ppm based on the internationally recognized Food Chemicals Codex. Prolonged ingestion of kelp in large quantities may also reduce gastrointestinal iron absorption and affect absorption of sodium and potassium and cause diarrhea.
Not a good idea if you have anaemia J.
I would say that when using kelp, as you have to get the balance perfectly correct, then treatment should best be left to the experts.....unless of course, you know what you are doing.

You really have to tell your doctor that you are on NBE, let him know what you are taking and make some diagnosis tests. Otherwise, there will be no way to find out what made your breasts grow, and what's happening to your organism. Love, April *GOOD LUCK!!!*

hello J
i was getting curious when reading these symphtoms cos i have problems with low bodytemperature, low bloodpressure, dizziness, jumping eyes (don't know what it means but i feel sometimes my sight is not stable but jumping), tiredness, fatigue, frizzy hair ( very dry whatever i do), always worried about losing hair (this has become obsession cos i was losing them a while ago) and so on quite constantly.always thought it's due to low bloodpressure only but could also be thyroid problem. Couple of years ago i was really suprised when measuring my bodytemperature just by chance (though i had a fever) but i was only 35. and i was taking wonderup at that time, not suprsied it didnt work.
about Kelp i'm also suspicious cos what about if your body get's used to it.
i think using normal salt instead of seasalt would be useful. i have beeb trying to use seasalt as much as possible instead on normal one but guess it's no good in this case.
should get my thyroid checked when back at home
