jfem · Answer

You are so sweet...this place amazes me with all the care and concern...

Well, I had a **** night, tossed and turned all night. Freaked myself out more because I kpet getting up to go to the br, and was really bloated...well, this AM I wake up and I realize why I am bloated and peeing all night...got my period this AM.

I just don't know whast to think.

I still have no appetite, but I've made myslef so crazy, that could be why,too.

I hate waiting, it's so scary.

Friday I should have the results of the blood work, and I just know it will be elevated, and then I have to wait all weekend for the US.

Can they still do it if I'm bleeding a little?
I really only bleed for 2 days, then a little spotting, so I may not even have anything by Monday, but I just want to know if they can still do the US.


THanks so much again for your concern...It really hlpes to know I have friends here.

Yes they can still do it if you are bleeding.  It just so happens the last three exams I have had , Just my luck, I was bleeding.  And , I have had transvag u/s while bleeding. Twice when I miscarried and the last u/s I had checking on my cysts.

Yes I know first hand they can do an ultrasound when you are bleeding. The woman who has done several of mine is so comforting. I was in there once when I had my period and she said
"don't worry we see everything someone was in here throwing up and we were eating m&m's" put me at ease.....  Think positive thoughts, cuddle your kids.

cuddling my kids makes me happy, then sad at the thought of "what if"...  

I'm glad to know they can still do the US...I just need answers at this point, you know?

toothfairyp · Answer

Yes I do know, that is why information is key. That is why we are here. Let us give you some comfort, let us let you know that there are OTHER reasons other than OVC. Can't live with "what ifs". Don't let your mind run off with bad and scary thoughts. Get on the net, you will find some answers. Go to Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic websites. I am sure you will find other reasons for your symptoms. NOT trying to minimize your feelings. Just don't want you to think the worst ant this point.
OK??? Kiss

jfem · Answer

I know you aren't trying to minimize my feelings...and I appreciate your kind words.

You are doing exactly what I need,telling me that there could possibly be other things beside OVCA.

I know this, and I know that I need to focus on those things, and not the one that's making me so scared.

This can't be good for me, to be this anxious. My stomach is in knots, I can't eat, and I've bascially "spiraled" into this lunatic?

This really isn;t me, I promise. 

I've just been feeling so crappy for such a long time now, and no one seems to know why.

It's frustrating.

ANd just when I've resigned myslef that this is something I will live with, etc...I get this "well, we need to rule out OVCA"...

My emotions have been all over the place for a month now and bascially, I'm exhausted by it all.

I just want to crawl in to bed and go to sleep.
