Hi Anne, I am so sorry to hear about your miscarraige and your rough recovery. Although, I am happy to hear that you were fortunate enough to have gotten yours taken care of relatively quickly. I have been suffering from this for months now (pelvic pain among a lot of other things) and I have yet to find someone to listen to me and take me seriously. It still boggles my mind how the doctor would not be concerned that I had visible cysts on my ovary with pelvic pain. Today has been exceptionally frustrating trying to find a new gyno because all of the ones my friends have referred me to do not accept my insurance, and I cannot afford to pay out of pocket. ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!! But I am pushing to get it taken care of and trying to stay happy while doing so. Thank you for the information and I hope you are feeling better, take care:) Amanda At Thu, 18 Aug 2005, Anne wrote: >
