Ugh.

I went to the RE this morning for my follow-up ultrasound. Dr. N. asked how I was doing. I usually just say fine; but that would have been a lie. Truth is, since Friday morning I have had horrible lower abdominal pain.

First I thought it was just bloating and gas, as I had had quite a bit of fiber for a couple days prior. Friday night it got a little better. The pain reared its ugly head again yesterday afternoon. It has been pretty much relentless since. I have used a heating pad to try to calm it, but the relief was short lived. So back to my story...

I told him that I was in a lot of pain. Instead of showing concern or empathy, he said (and I quote), "Well, good!" I was thinking - What the heck?! Pain is something not good in my opinion. He said that it was probably pain from my ovaries growing/enlarging with my follicles.

News flash, Doc! My ovaries grow every month with my follicles and they have NEVER hurt this bad for this long! He said to expect it a couple more days then it should subside. I caved and took some Tylenol twice so far today. It has helped a lot. I wish I could use a heating pad, but I can't now that I am in the "throws" of trying to conceive...can't increase my body temperature. According to my nurse, it would be worse than sitting in a hot tub.

I am going to continue to take Tylenol as needed for the next couple days. If it isn't better by Wednesday, I am going to my family doctor. My mind is already going to dark places and thinking the worst...like I have ovarian cancer.

Pray for me as I am losing my grip with reality and assuming the worst!
