THere is also a 2.4 x 2.1 cm cyst in the left ovary. There is no adnexal mass or ascites. Blood work: LH 8.5, prolactin, serum 10.9, hcg, quant <0.1, FSH 9.1 , Estradiol 48.67 I can't see my doctor until late september and wanted to know what all this means. thank you

Thank you for the reply. I was sure I had updated them. In fact the last page just contained information on the doctor giving the diagnostics of the images and the system did not allow me to upload it.
Hope this helps

Brief Answer:
Explained - you seem to be near menopause clinically.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Yes I have received the attachments.
I have gone through them.
The blood work does not show that you are near menopause.
But the ultrasound scan is completely normal.
The fibroid is too small, and you can just ignore it, it will not cause any issues.
However, I am sure you are reaching a clinical stage of peri - menopause.
This is when your body is nearing menopause, the blood work might not show it, but it will show that in a few months down the line.
This is when you start missing a period or two, and have erratic menstrual bleeding / spotting.
As long as your tests are normal, you should not worry about it.
Continue using protection as ovulation might occur sporadically.
Also, maintain a diary or menstrual calendar to keep a track of your bleeding patterns.

Should I not worry about the cyst on the ovary? Would this also be a reason for missed periods? I've had a rapid weight gain of 7 lbs in the last two months regardless of eating healthy and exercising 5 times a week.
Brief Answer:
Do not worry about the cyst.
Detailed Answer:
That is a very small simple cyst, most likely it will regress in a month of two.
Get a follow up scan after 3 months to check on the cyst.
No, you should not worry about it.
Please get your thyroid levels checked.
Around menopause, it becomes more difficult to maintain an ideal weight.
So you have to work twice as hard as weight loss.
That could be the explanation here, if thyroid levels are normal.
