Hello Ladies!
I have been on the Bump before, under a different user name. I left for a while...and apparently the Bump does not recognize my name any longer.
Here is my story...
MH (herein after referred to as J) and I were married in 2005. J is a partner at a civil engineering firm and I am a hair stylist.
We started TTC in January 2008. I had been on BCP for seven years due to reoccurring ovarian cysts. In May 2008, my cysts returned. My Dr. prescribed Clomid. I did three rounds over the summer....and nothing. In December 2008, we were greeted with a bfp. I started having heavy bleeding at 10 weeks. Ultrasound and blood work were normal. I was put on bed rest. The bleeding continued for seven weeks. In March, I was rushed to the ER, dx with a fetal demise. I delivered the following evening... dilated, pushed, the whole sha-bang.
We were given a green light to try again after I had a normal cycle, and try again in May we did. July 2009 brought with it cysts again. Again, I was given Clomid. Again, after three rounds, nothing. Doctor ordered a SA. J declined. In September 2010, J agrees to a SA. Results were normal. December 2010, at my yearly gyn visit, I mention pelvic pain during exam -- as well as during intercourse, bowel movements, etc. January 2011, I have a vaginal ultrasound. The tech makes me nervous with all of her questions -- Did I have a D&C after I delivered? -- Did anyone ever dx me with endo? -- Am I sure I wasn't supposed to have a D&C? -- Does it hurt right HERE?? (My answers -- no, no, yes, YES!!!) I didn't see my dr that day. The nurse calls and orders some lab work (CA125). I call 2 days after the blood draw, and she tells me "Not to be nervous. This test comes back normal for women my age, most of the time." ?! So, I google the lab test (CA125) and not only is it a test for endo, but it is also a test for ovarian cancer... Great, now I am nervous!
So, here I am ladies...a lurker on TCCAL, outing myself on TTTC, and anxiously awaiting my lab results.
Re: Intro (long)
Wow, I would be going crazy. Can you make an appt to see your MD? Sometimes you get more info in person than over the phone.
GL!
