Well, just got back from my date with the dildo-cam. It. fricken.HURT!! Did not expect that. I've had it done before, but I'm sure that it didn't feel anything like it did today. Has anyone else experienced this?
I think they found a lot of cysts or whatever as they spent a lot of time on the right side and kept talking about trying to count how many there were and how to measure them. And when I say they, I mean the technician went and got her supervisor who after looking at the screen then went and got her supervisor. So I'm hoping that it was just a weird cyst or something they were looking at. Or that I have weird ovaries...or something of that sort.
I've been in a lot of pain the last couple of months and my last AF was BRUTAL. So I'm hoping that this test will show something...anything....I'll know the results in about a week.

So I wrote this great post a couple of times about patience - and my lack of it. But both times it disappeared...so I guess that's a sign that I shouldn't have been writing about it! I'm just having a hard time with being patient. I've waited for so long, and it feels like for nothing. I'm trying so hard to keep a positive attitude about where we're at in this journey. Even though after 6 years we don't have a baby, J and I are closer than we've ever been. So, if nothing else, I'm lucky that this time has allowed me and J to work on our relationship. I think we'll need it; going into the Foster/Adoption process is going to take a whole other level of togetherness.
Well, this post probably makes no sense whatsoever. I'm tired and achey and hungry. I'm screwing the diet tonight and having my favorite comfort food - mac.aroni and che.ese. Thanks ladies for your patience and for reading this far! Your support - it means the world to me.

I'm sorry it hurt. They didn't tell you what was up after the scan? Sometimes when my stomach is being crampy even before scans I will take some tylenol and that helps. I am having issues with patience as well.
ReplyDeleteah the joys of the dildo cam. cant say i miss that- ugh! i hope you get answers very soon.
ReplyDeleteMan, sorry you have to wait a week to find out the results. But, as you say, this gives you the opportunity to practice a bit more patience!
ReplyDeleteI've had a few ultrasounds that were uncomfortable or painful. Once with a large cyst and a few times when I was cycling and had follicles on my ovaries. Hope it feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever had an uncomfortable ultrasound, maybe it was just the technician or could you have endo and they were pushing on it? I sure hope you feel better soon and the next one isn't the same.

Yuck! I'm sorry the experience was so painful. It sounds like you do have something going on. I hope they are able to figure it out and fix it!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the patience thing. A virtue I don't possess!
Oh, hun! I'm so sorry it hurt! I've had some painful u/s as well, so I can sympathise. I pray that they find what's causing all this pain and that it can be quickly fixed.
ReplyDeleteI also struggle with patience (I have zilch, zero, none!). I think you can be forgiven for it in our situations!
Hope you enjoyed your macaroni and cheese! Its good to splurge on diets occassionally.
I could always tell if there was anything to see or not by how hard they hard to push with the wand. My baselines usually hurt a little cause my ovaries were smaller and there wasn't much to see, but after a big follicle gets on the scene they usually would spot that right away and not push much at all. And I hear some wands are not shaped so nicely and that makes a big difference too. Hopefully it was just a fluke and next time is more comfortable and you maybe just have lots of little cysts (antral follicles) that aren't too problematic.
