@wallflwr926 - hope you feel better soon.
mustloveerica - YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS and FX for good betas!
teachermomtobe - FX for your betas on Thursday!
BurritosAtEveryMeal - FX for good growth at your next appointment.
♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪ - Big hugs. I'm so sorry for the BFN. FX for your FET in September.
butlerfan - yay for nice people! I definitely understand how frustrating and sad it can be not to have a baby registry the way other people do, but hopefully your friends and family will continue to surprise you guys with their generosity and support.

AFM, I'm 8 DPO in a natural cycle and already feeling crampy and bloated. I hate how early my PMS symptoms have been starting the past few cycles. Oh well. We're planning to move on to IUI #3 next cycle.

QOTW: Even though it was a very quick trip, I enjoyed going to Maine for my BIL's wedding.

ceejay, I also started getting PMS symptoms at 8dpo this cycle. WTF? I have a 14-day LP, so a whole week of this is not okay.

kayladawn91 Hope your vacay was fun! Glad you made it home safely.

**** I finally have a real update*****
I ended up at urgent care yesterday after I couldn't get in to see my gyn because I was concerned about the severe nause being cyst related.
Urgent care ended up sending me to the ER to get an ultrasound because they had concerns that there was a rupture. During my 8 hour ER visit I was poked and prodded, CAT scanned and ultrasounded only for them to find that my WBC was elevated and I probably had something viral. My favorite part was when they figured out that triage had inputted my allergies in wrong and ended up delaying my CAT scan for an hour. (Iodine allergies and CAT scan contrast is

Today I followed up at the gyn. It wasn't my regular gyn, so I had to give my medical history for the millionth time in 2 days. Thanks to brutal PMS I burst into tears as I started to explain. The doctor was really great and asked alot of questions that I was not expecting to be asked. It was a really productive appointment and I might finally be getting somewhere. She recommended that I see a rheumatologist to be evaluated for mix connective tissue disease. While a diagnosis would really suck, it would finally give me some answers after years of unexplained ailments.
It also looks like i'm staying on birth control for a little while longer as it appears the cysts have resolved; however, if the pelvic pain continues i'm mostly likely being sent to a pelvic pain specialist. I go back to my regular gyn on 8/12 to discuss this in more detail.

Hugs @wallflwr926 for the rough day, but I'm glad you're hopefully getting some answers.

[kayladawn91]

Hugs @wallflwr926. I hope this is the start of a lot of answers for you.

Wow! So sorry for the crazy few days and that you were in so much pain. Glad you may be on the path to answers though.

[wannabmama]

@wallflwr926 I am glad you are finally getting somewhere and might be on the road to some answers and hopefully getting out of the pain!! Sorry for the long days in the ER and then with the gyn, but it is worth it if you get some answers!

[mustloveerica]

@wallflwr926 I like the sounds of this gyn. Do you think you'll stick with her? It sounds like she's being very proactive in figuring out what is going on.

[ironbaby]

@wallflwr926, I like this update. :-) Here's hoping for continued forward progress toward getting you healthy and pain-free.

[BurritosAtEveryMeal]

Yikes, what a day, @wallflwr926

I hope you get some answers soon.

I like my guy and it's the same practice. If he is not on board with the idea I will ask to switch.

[butlerfan]

Ugh @wallflwr926. Sucky few days but maybe they are finally figuring out some stuff for you which sounds great!

[ohinvrtedworld]

@wallflwr926 so glad you might be getting answers and relief from your pain, sorry that it has been such a tough road the past few weeks though! That sounds utterly miserable.
