Re: PLEASE HELP - possible ER situation!!

I have actually been very concerned that it could be a cyst. When I was
getting my ultrasound done, the tech said there was increased blood flow
to my left ovary (the side I've had all the pain in). Everything I've
googled shows that increased blood flow to an ovary is typically a cyst.
I'm really really hoping it's not menopause or anything...I'll be 28 in
May this year. I called my doctor's office 5 times after my ultrasound
and they set up an appointment and told me the doctor would call me
before the appointment only if it was "something serious" that I should
be seen sooner for. I gotta say, my doctor's office never really seems
to think that my complaints are a big deal. I actually feel like I'm
bothering them half the time. I just don't know what to do. I'm so
scared and confused.
