Although the ultrasound revealed a liver issue related to PCOS (AND celiac, goody goody), and so I guess I'm off on a weight loss journey as that's the best treatment. Woo. Hoo.

It's funny, my doctor who did the surgery said that I'd need to explain it to radiologists if ever having an ER ultrasound, because he's the only one doing that surgery and there's not a lot of awareness. Apparently my uterus now looks like a giant black hole, like antimatter. Hmmph. <br /><br />I agree...preparing for worst case scenarios is definitely a side effect of infertility. Pooper. I guess it's just important to not be crippled by the worst case scenarios...Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-18219092793119623752018-01-31T18:26:23.948-08:002018-01-31T18:26:23.948-08:00And just like that, I crowd-sourced a pee-stick.
...And just like that, I crowd-sourced a pee-stick. <br /><br />I feel shame that I negated that test, although I highly doubt that's what it is, I should have let it stand for all the reasons you mention. <br /><br />And "being prepared" -- yes! I was (briefly) a Girl Scout, so yes. I do think that being prepared is better than winging it and dancing with disaster. Although expecting disaster at every turn is exhausting. <br /><br />Thanks for your info!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-9012988552515448552018-01-31T18:24:43.540-08:002018-01-31T18:24:43.540-08:00Right?

A good lesson for why it’s important to read a patient’s chart.<br /><br />But yes to the worst case scenarios. I’m guilty of this too (living my own version of it). Sadly, I don’t think the preparing will ever become something we don’t do given we now know too much.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-38267220679368255842018-01-29T20:18:09.255-08:002018-01-29T20:18:09.255-08:00I know you won't necessarily like this, but I ...I know you won't necessarily like this, but I kinda wish you had had the pregnancy test. Ectopics, as you know, don't need an endometrium to implant elsewhere (ovarian, abdominal, fallopian), and your symptoms did give me some concern in that regard. I say this also because someone could be reading this who might need to know this information in the future. Best practice is that when abdominal pain presents in a woman with ovaries under about 50 years of age, a pregnancy test should be taken. (You can take me out of the Ectopic Pregnancy Trust, but you can't take the years of volunteering with hundreds of women out of the blogger!)<br /><br />I'm glad you're getting tested, and will hopefully have some simple answers soon. <br /><br />And yes, I know the worst-case scenario thing. Rather, I call it "being prepared," treat it as a virtue, and blame it on the fact that I was a Girl Guide! Also, it makes me sound much less pessimistic. lolMalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-75455549969125749002018-01-29T19:02:51.649-08:002018-01-29T19:02:51.649-08:00I tend to jump to worst-case scenarios too.
