Ever feel this way?From: Tammy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat Jun 28 20:23:16 2003
I have been seeing an RE since for two months due to infertility, a miscarriage in Januray and possible endo. (lots of pain). My Ob/GYN refused to listen that I have all of the signs of endo. except for pain during intercourse. Tuesday we went for a mid-cycle ultrasound to see if we would have enough follicles for an IUI and trigger shot. Oh no, instead he found a 4 cm. cyst on my ovary and said that it could be cancer(not likely though) or it most likely is an endometria cyst caused by endometriosis. He said that he wanted me to take Aygestin next cycle and then come back in for a repeat U/S on day 28 of my next cycle. He said that he would do a lap, a hysterocopy and D&C if it was still there. He said that right now he can't do it because his surgery schedule is backed up 6 weeks. What on earth will it be when I come back in 6 weeks!??! Am I going to have to wait 3 months before I know anything? Is this normal? He also told me that the Fertility stuff was off for now. I am devastated!!! I guess I just need to pack up the hope of having a baby and throw it out the window. I had achiness and cramping after my ultrasound and then all night Wednesday and Thursday, I had pretty severe cramping. I called the nurse yesterday and told her that I thought it was ovulation pain but that it was hurting pretty bad and that I felt heaviness and pressure type sensations in my right side (like a squeezing sensation). She told me to come back in. My RE was nice and kind, but after a repeat ultrasound and pushing around on my abdomen, he told me that he thought it was mittleshmertz(ovulation pain) and that he didn't want me to take this out of context, but that "sometimes when people are told that they may have cancer or endometriosis, they tend to maginify what they are normally feeling and worry about it." I didn't know what to say as I sat there holding my side. I was embarrassed and felt like he was saying that I was making up the pain. He then told me to take anything but Advil, Aleeve(so they don't prevent ovulation) and told me that he wanted me to call him if it continued and that I have his pager number and I should call him anytime-24 hours a day-RIGHT!!!! Has this ever happened to any of you and how do you handle it? Today of course I woke up with achiness, but the cramping has subsided. My BBT chart showed a temp dip yesterday and a rise today-thus ovualtion did occur. I felt really bad that I have wasted his time. He is one of 2 RE's in our state and has an excellent reputation, but wow my feelings are pretty hurt. I think I need to stay with him, but what do I do? My gut feeling is that since they can never see follicles after Clomid, I think the cyst is covering up the follicles, thus creating more pain during ovualtion. Now that is just my two cents.
