ultrasound of uterus tomorrow
 
I have a ultrasound scheduled tomorrow, for my problems.

Not sure what the problem is. It could be a combo of things.

So more answers to come.

Hmmm, I'm really not sure what to think.

It was both kinds of ultrasounds. And I'm sure glad that when I was reading up on them last night. It didn't dawn on me that when I was told to drink 32oz. of water that I could be getting both kinds of the test. I'm usually told exactly what will happen if its more than one kind. So I assumed it was just the one. But no it was both.

So now I'm not so sure what exactly the doc thinks it is. I'm a little more worried than I was before. I had no clue when I went what exactly she thought, just knew she thought something didn't feel exactly right.

But she didn't exactly say. Or I didn't get it. I was having a coughing fit.
And I was so short of breath that just making it through that was my focus.
But she also knows that for me that to get stressed is bad. So I'm guessing
she was not being to open.

I knew it could be premenopause, or fibrosbis somethings. Or something else maybe, or stress.

But she kept going back to nothing, so I should have known.

And she was really wanting it done soon, and this afternoon was big in her thinking. So I should have realized. And yes, it was a lot at times painful.

And its not supposed to be.

Dmom3005 08-21-2007 06:38 PM

And at 3:45 I've known very few radiologist that were going to read the things and make the report. And get it to your doctor.

I got the impression that other than it usually takes 3 to 5 days, that
I just about got told she would maybe have it tomorrow.

Now that was scarey.

Donna

Mari 08-21-2007 07:35 PM

Dear Donna,

Try to relax. Try not to jump to any conclusions -- yeah, I know, easier said than done.

I had that ultra sound done before. And I remember the 32 onces of water. I remember the urge to pee afterwards. My techs were wierd about the test -- like they didn't like doing it or that they were freaked out for some reason. I wanted to tell them to take a chill pill.

I was lucky. The test came back negative. The tech found nothing and told me before I left. I'm telling you this because that test is not always ordered for scary things. Sometimes it is ordered more routinely.


I am really not wanting to preach to you. I know that what your gut tells you could be right on -- or it could just be that you are getting a little ahead of yourself.... For now, try to be patient and wait until your dr talks with you.
When is that? Do you meet with the dr on Wednesday? If not, will she telephone you with the results?

'Sending lots of good thoughts.

Mari

Dmom3005 08-21-2007 07:48 PM

She will phone me when she hears or receives the results.

Donna

bizi 08-21-2007 09:19 PM

Oh I am sorry it hurt...
Hope you hear from her tomorrow.
Do you like her?
hang in there...you will get thru this.

Dmom3005 08-21-2007 10:20 PM

Yes I really like her. It took me a while to find a new primary after I lost my Ob-Gyn. And my primary left about the same time.

But I had issues with not wanting to go to a doctor and waited a long time.

But I've been with her for about 4 years now I think.

She is really compassionate.

Donna

Mari 08-22-2007 10:15 AM

Dear Dmom,

Compassionate drs are godsends.
I hope that you get the right kind of news.
And I hope that it leads you to the answers you need.

mari

bizi 08-22-2007 12:18 PM

so glad to hear that you like her!

Nikko 08-23-2007 10:25 AM

How are you doing? Did you get the results yet?

How did the test go?

Hugs, Nikko:hug:

Dmom3005 08-23-2007 04:30 PM

Still waiting on results hopefully tomorrow. I was told 3 to 5 days.

But its really interesting. I have had more pain than before so we will see.

I'm beginning to wonder what I should think about this all.

I am also having more issues with the dizziness and stuff too so we will
see what happens.

Donna

bizi 08-23-2007 05:26 PM

I wish you were feeling better....
(((HUGS)))

Dmom3005 08-23-2007 05:32 PM

One of the things I wish right now, is that I knew if I should have
the pain or discomfort in the pelvic area now. After the test.

I didn't have it before, so to have it now is really bugging me.
So I'm going to have to ask the nurse when they call with the
results if they are okay, and I'm told to just record my periods.

Because I believe the procedure and things with the appointment
stopped the period, I am not sure though if it would have stopped
on its own. I have a idea it wouldn't have.

Its really bugging me.

Donna

Mari 08-23-2007 06:35 PM

Hi,

It sure doesn't seem like the test should have caused discomfort.
Call the nurse tomorrow maybe.
I can see why this is bugging you.

Mari

Nikko 08-24-2007 09:44 AM

Ditto - call!!!! NO harm is calling and telling them and asking them ???????

The waiting for results is so nerve wracking to begin with.

No news is good news. They say if something is really bad, you get the news really fast. Who knows. Not me. Just my two cents.

Hope you feel better.

Hugs, Nikko:hug:

Dmom3005 08-24-2007 12:24 PM

Just heard from my doctor.

Its cysts on both my ovaries.

So I have to wait 3 months, and go for another ultrasound.

I also get to have another blood test, she gave the blood test a name,
but I can't remember what its called, she is ruling out anything more
serious, but its just a precaution. And that I have no problem with.

I really like this part about her, and it doesn't scare me.

Also I told her about the pain and stuff. I also when taking a shower, found
a lump or something that wasn't and has never been there before. We talked
about that and she told me what to do for the weekend. And that if it was
painful or still there or bothersome on Monday to call and get in.

So this is good news to me.

I'm in a pretty good mood right now.

Donna

Dmom3005 08-24-2007 12:26 PM

Only thing is I don't have a clue yet how you put heat on the inside
of the vagina area.

But we talked about the pain in the back, and she suggested the pain reliever.

Cyst
 
Dmom,
My daughter had the cyst, there were three.The doctor explained that the cyst would come during ovulation and generally pop, but she had two that did not pop and were painful.

THe CA-5 test I think the blood test I had was to rule out ovarian cancer. They do that when all of a sudden there is a huge rapid swelling in the abdomon..

It sounds like if you are not on a hormone, like a birth control that may be an option. I hope the next ultra sound the cyst are smaller or pop by then, I know they are not pleasant.
My daughter would take a small towel and put it in the microwave and lay it on her tummy...but we also have a moist heating pad that has a sponge type insert to moisten and the heat would help.

I have trouble with heavy periods and the lining was very thin, a D&C was done to make sure nothing bad going on...Then I started on depo-provera shots, even though my tubes were tied. I am 52 and still using the shots.

feel better soon,
Dianne

Dmom3005 08-24-2007 06:22 PM

Thats the name of the blood test thanks, I couldn't remember the name.

I knew it was to make sure there was nothing else. And I know that she is pretty sure there isn't. So I'm not going to worry that there is.

Donna

bizi 08-24-2007 11:54 PM

Have you tried taking just advil with some food?
It is an antiinflamatory medication as well as a pain reliever.
I am happy that your doctor is responsive to your concerns.
wonder if a hot bath would help?
(((HUGS))))

Dmom3005 08-25-2007 07:24 AM

Yes Ibprofen is what I'm taking.

I would take a bath, but I can't get back up out of the tub. So that is out right now. But the shower helped yesterday and I'm feeling pretty good
today.

So I'm thinking its going to be better today.

Donna
