AmandaRee, sorry you are soo bummed!! I hate when anyone thinks we are fat because we are lazy!! I admit lately I have had a heck of a time getting motivated and my energy has been way LOW so I don't get as much done as I should and I admit I have been watching too much tv. but thats NOT why I am FAT!! Seemed to me the more I tried to lose the more I gained. I have had pelvic pain before. When I was younger I used to have awefull pain when I ovulated,thought I was having ependisitis. Now I do have days when I get a sharp pain in my pelvic area and sometimes I will stand up and OUCH, feels like someone stuck me from inside. Get those tests done and see how they come out. I know its hard to wait. But good luck. Monica At Mon, 30 Jul 2001, AmandaRee wrote: >
