It all depends on the distance involved. I suspect there isn't an issue up to 31 miles distance, but you really ought to verify that for yourselves.

Can anyone help me out here?
"Liver shows no significant changes, except for an oval hyperechoic area in the medial segment measuring 17mm, featuring a central isoechoic region that matches the surrounding parenchyma"

What exactly does an "oval hyperechoic area with an isoechoic center" actually mean?

Thanks in advance for any insight

Since when did they shut down that location on I Street? If I recall correctly, I think only P&C is still operating there!

Thanks for the info! Personally, I’m sticking with Celest. I was actually considering quitting and switching over to Yaz, but after reading your take and a few other comments here, it seems like staying on Celest is the smarter move for me.🙂

Sam Gomez4 said:I switched from Cilest to Yaz about three months ago. During the first month, instead of my actual period, I just had some spotting. I took a pregnancy test right away, and it was negative. Now, it’s the second month, and even after finishing another pack, my period still hasn't arrived. I've done another home test and a blood test, and both were negative too. So, I stopped taking Yaz. Honestly, it just doesn't work for my body, and I am definitely not going back to it.

So, does Cilest work better for you? I'm actually thinking about making the switch myself since everything seems to be fine with Cilest... Any advice would be appreciated.

LOGEST
Each film-coated tablet contains 75 mcg of gestodene and 20 mcg of ethinylestradiol.

YAZ
Contains 3 mg of drospirenone and 20 mg of ethinylestradiol.

YASMIN
Contains 3 mg of drospirenone and 30 mg of ethinylestradiol.

DIANE-35
Contains 2 mg of cyproterone acetate and 0.035 mg of ethinylestradiol.

CILEST
Ethinylestradiol 35 mcg, norgestimate 250 mcg.

TRIQUILAR
contains

one reddish-brown film-coated tablet containing: 0.050 mg levonorgestrel and 0.030 mg ethinylestradiol;

one white film-coated tablet containing: 0.075 mg levonorgestrel and 0.040 mg ethinylestradiol;

one dark yellow film-coated tablet containing: 0.125 mg levonorgestrel and 0.030 mg ethinylestradiol.

Excipients: iron oxide, yellow (E 172), iron oxide, red (E 172), lactose hydrate, corn starch, sucrose, titanium dioxide (E 171).

Looking at these numbers, how on earth can anyone claim Yaz or Yasmin have fewer hormones than Cilest? I’ve seen discussions elsewhere claiming Cilest is actually "heavier" or stronger.
Does anyone here actually understand the pharmacology behind this? Can someone explain the logic?

Stanec works over at Mayo Clinic; I honestly think we're looking at a very serious procedure here, so if I were in your shoes, I’d definitely prioritize a major hospital over some small private clinic. I was actually thinking that if the crowds at the hospital make it impossible to see him right away, you might want to try reaching out to his private practice for a consultation instead.
Vercingetorix likely has a website where you could check their pricing or find a direct contact number to get more details and schedule an appointment.

I have no idea where you’ve been looking, but whatever you do, do not let them perform any procedures on you until you are absolutely certain.
You need to consult with additional physicians; seek out a second opinion, or even a third if necessary.
The leading breast specialist is based in Washington, D.C., at the Mayo Clinic under Prof. Stanec—I believe he sees private patients as well, so I would suggest scheduling a consultation just to get a clear picture of your options and the proper protocol.

Best of luck.
I truly hope everything turns out fine.
