So I have been sitting here for the last hour reading today's postings and getting more and more depressed. Not that you guys are depressing or that I begrudge any of your successes...I feel a deep love and concern for all of you wonderful women that I didn't think was possible (especially after only being here for a week). But I don't know if I am just having mood swings or if I am truly depressed or just feeling frustrated. I have been having horrible, debilitating (sp?) pelvic pain. Today it was so bad I had to just shut the door to my office at work and put my head on my desk and cry. It feels like someone has stuck a knife into my ovaries. This has been the main reason for me seeking medical advice which is good. Who knows how long I would have just sat around beliving all the damn doctors in my town (both of them) that having 5 periods in two years isn't anything major and that the only reason I'm overweight is because they think I sit on my "fat butt watching TV all day" (oh yeah, that was a direct quote from one the pompus idiotic doctors I've been too....as if I even had time to watch TV I work 12 hour days and go to college full time!) So I guess I am just feeling really frustrated right now because the doctor who finally listened to me and diagnosed me with pcos is about an hour's drive away..and because he's one of the best doctors in this area--he's swamped and very hard to get an appointment with. Once my sister-in-law reccommended him to me it took me 5 weeks to get an appointment with him. Now, he wants to confirm my diagnosis with blood work and a vaginal-probe ultrasound (yikes) which I appreciate, but he could only schedule the ultrasound for 4 weeks after my initial visit (I still have two more weeks to go!). So I was so pumped for the first little while--Thinking: "GREAT! I know what I have, now we can start treating me. I am going to quit smoking, lose 100 lbs, eat low-carb diets, and get pregnant!" Now I'm thinking "I just want to get it started! Forget waiting two more weeks--lets do it now!" Sorry--I needed to vent, thanks! My real reason for writing this incredibly long posting is: Does anyone else exprience this kind of pelvic pain and if so, what do you do to relieve it? 800 mg of motrin is not even phasing it! Thanks for listening to me rant--I'd appreciate any suggestions.
