Re-Introduction

Mrs.BigCountry · January 2011

Hi Ladies. The last time I bumped, the TTCAL6+ board didn't exist. I am glad I found it and see some names I recognize. I mainly lurk. But I have posted some. I thought I would reintroduce myself... 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) last week. I call 2 days after the blood draw, and she tells me "The results weren't back yet, but 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! I hate it that we are all here. But I am glad to see there is a TTCAL board that isn't puppies and rainbows.

I hate it when nurses tell you comforting stuff when they don't even know what you're going through. I'm so sorry for all you've had to endure and your late loss. Welcome back.
