I feel sick again today. Frankly, I am scared of what it may be and really just hope and pray that it just magically goes away. Please, God, I can't take anything more right now.
I woke up feeling better and thought I was out of the woods. I was wrong. It hurts worse when I am sitting, somewhat when I am standing and walking. It comes and goes in waves. When it's real bad I have to try to take deep breaths to get me through it. Ad.vil doesn't help. I think the heating pad just helps to take my mind off of it, like I feel like I am doing something to help it, yet the pain is still there.
I still have hunger, so that's a good thing. Although I don't have anything to eat here. I am praying I feel better enough soon to run to the store. But I've had this pain before while in public and it's not fun.
Calling my doctor may be necessary soon, but I guess I am putting it off, hoping that the pain stops. I am so scared of getting another ultrasound only to have the technician look alarmed, then getting the call from my doctor that it might be cancer. I know it probably won't happen the exact same way again, but I can't help but be afraid of that since the whole experience was less than two months ago. It was traumatizing.
I just feel so beaten down emotionally. I am trying to accept the pain and offer it up, but it's what the pain may mean that worries me. I guess I should offer up the worry as well.
Please, God, please let it be intestinal. The idea of another surgery makes me shudder.

Not good

Just said a prayer for you. I hope you are ok! Call me if you need anything!
ReplyDeleteThe hCG stays in your system for a long time so it continues to stimulate the corpus luteum. The pain you're describing sounds like hyperstimulation, but you should only have one follicle since you weren't on ovulation induction meds to begin with (right?). I doubt it's cancer. If you went for an ultrasound, you'd probably just have a great big corpus luteum, high on hCG. Be sure to drink lots of fluids and avoid vigorous activity (not that you felt like it anyway). Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm so sorry! I can't believe that you have another problem to deal with. :(
ReplyDeleteSaying a prayer for you over here...
I'm sorry you're still not feeling well. I'm saying a prayer for you and I hope you feel better very soon.
ReplyDeleteOh No. I am so sorry you are hurting. It can be SO scary when it is pretty much debilitating.
ReplyDeleteHaven't you had the pain at this time during your cycle before? I am so curious as to what is causing it. (I know its not cancer ... and just think: of all people, you DEFINITELY don't have it bc they were just in your pelvis a few weeks back AND even took a specimen to pathology. Cancer would have showed up after all that).
I am thinking you are really, really irritated by the fluid in your pelvis. Is the pain really sharp? Or more dull, and mostly when you move around ... I am so sorry the ibuprofren isn't helping, either. It sounds awful. Try to take it easy, I just laid on the couch for a few days until I felt better. I felt totally lazy, but hey I couldn't help it.
I think you should tell your Dr. about all of this pain. Maybe she has some ideas?
Is the pain low or high?
ReplyDeleteLook at all of us! I swear we are nurse practitioners! Running to your rescue! Gosh, it's sad we all know so much about pelvic pain.
If it is in the bowel, you will know, it is distinctively different, higher not lower. Under the belly button, or left or right of the belly button.
Gosh, I hope you get this taken care of....I'm so sorry, I hate pain in the pelvis! Call the Dr. don't delay!
Oh no!! I'm praying over here, too. Why are we always in one kind of pain or another???
ReplyDeleteBuckeyeNP - I was on Tamoxifen, but only one follicle showed up on u/s, although she couldn't even locate the right ovary.
ReplyDeleteLifehopes - it is more sharp. I usually have dull pain, and this isn't that. And yes it is mostly when I move around. If I lie still, it's not too bad today (yesterday it still hurt lying down).
Sew - it's low. Yesterday it was all more all over, but I'd still probably call it low.
I wrote this post when it was hurting real bad, but it has since gotten better so I'm hoping it's getting better.
I'm pretty sure this is hyperstim from the trigger shot. Just try to drink a lot of gatorade and rest. I had the same type of feelings after I ovulated due to the cyst. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, feel better!
ReplyDeleteHopefully it stays better since your last comment. But it could definitely be intestinal from all the fiber you posted about yesterday. Gas pains can be BRUTAL.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you said in your comment it's gotten better. Maybe the prayers are working. I'll throw in another. :)
ReplyDeletePraying that some sunshine will actually come your way!!
ReplyDeleteYou *don't* have cancer, but PLEASE call a doctor. Being told you're a hypochondriac is OK, but you don't want to find out you have a raging infection you've been neglecting!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you're in pain. I would definitely call the doctor to see what you should do.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why you're hesitant about seeking medical attention. When I was taken to the hospital the last time I thought that I would get some meds and then go home. We both know how that worked out.
I'm praying for you!
K-SO sorry you are hurting again. I am wondering if it is the gas pains...I felt the sloshing and gas for quite awhile. Glad it is getting a little better.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are really feeling much better by now. I am saying a prayer for you right now that you are able to get to the root of the problem, but I truly hope this is not something that will continue.
