Doctor's Exam

So for those of you that were interested or wanted an update I'd thought I'd post.

My obgyn has serious issues with being on time. Last month when I was there for my checkup she was running two hours behind (luckily I was only seeing the nurse). However, this time I had to see her because she was doing an ultrasound on my ovaries, etc. I waited 2 1/2 hours for her! For 1 hour I was in the exam room in that stupid hospital gown freezing my butt off. Grrr

Anyways, she wants me to have a lapriscopy (sp?) to see if it is endometriosis. I really hope it is not. No one in my family has it, but hopefully if that is what it is...hopefully we caught it early enough so that I won't have fertility problems. So I'll have to be put to sleep and everything.

It just sucks that they have to be so invasive and still not know if I actually have this. I mean, what if they get in there and then they don't see anything? So then I just have really bad cramps? It just seems so silly. I wish there was another way they could find out if I had it. The good news is is that if I do have it they can laser it off while they are in there. :)

I scheduled the appointment for in January. I figured that way the holidays will be over and most of the wedding planning will be done. :)

She did a pap smear today too. Owww I have NEVER had one done! Clearly, being a virgin...I've never had anything down there so even the pediatric spectrum hurt. I seriously cried. I never cry at the doctor but it hurt so bad. Afterwards she did the ultrasound on my ovaries and didn't see any cysts.

So that was it! My lovely 2 1/2 hour appointment. Hoepfully we figure out what is going on and take care of it in January.

Oh hon! I remember my first trip to the gyno, and I was still a virgin. I thought I was going to die. Remember... it's better to know why you're having these pains than to worry about a little pain with the speculum. Big hugs!
