I Am Confused... Posted: 10-24-07 21:05pm
Okay.. My husband and I are trying to
conceive our second child... My last
normal period was September 3, making me
25 days late.. Now all tests come back
negative.. haven't done a blood test..
but by this time if I was pregnant it
would show on an ultrasound right?? I was
in the ER last night because of abdominal
pain and they did an utrasound to see if I
had any dermiods or cysts, since I have a
history with dermoids, cysts and
endometriosis.. They said that they
didn't see anything and no one knows what
is wrong with me.. They say it may be my
endometriosis, but I do not want another
laparoscopy if it isn't necessary due to
the fact that I already had 2 previous
ones and I want to try and limit the scar
tissue for future pregnancies... So I
guess my question is.. If my last period
was September 3 would a pregnancy show on
an ultrasound at this time period?? I
have no clue why af hasn't come and why I
am in so much pain and the doctors don't
know either...

i'm not 100% sure but I don't think it
would show yet
I suggest getting a blood test done

why did they not do a blood test when you
was seen in the ER.

I completely understand what you are going
through. My last 'period' (two days) was
on Aug 28. I'm on cd 58 or something
equally as crazy.
I have a history of cysts as well. I'm not
poly-cystic. I will just get a very large,
painful cyst occasionally. I have (as well
as my doctors), in the past, blamed my
late periods on the cysts. It wasn't until
we were ttc that they were investigated
any further than 'here, take birth control
and you'll be fine'. It turns out that I
have a hormonal embalance. So, I'm not
'late', I just haven't ovulated yet.
Do, you chart your temps at all? If not,
you may need to go to the doctor and get a
prescription for the 'progesterone
challenge'.
I think that they would have seen
something. i had an ultrasound done at 6.5
weeks and they seen a nice strong
heartbeat. Did they do a vaginal
ultrasound......because sometimes they
can't see anything when they put it on the
abdomen especially when you aren't too far
along.

they did they abdomen ultrasound not the
transvaginal one.. the technician did
play a sound and I heard a heart beat..
but I think it was just mine that I
heard.. it was weird though, because
they never did that before when checking
for cysts.. My doc wants me to see him in
Nov. if I still don't get af and I am
still getting BFN..

Good luck and keep us
posted!
I dont chart my temps and all that stuff..
I dunno, it just seems all too confusing
to me.... I am only 23 so I am still
young and have already had two
laparoscopies.. I had the first one when
I was 18 and the second one when I was
20..

I had my first lap when I was 14. I had to
have a cyst removed and the excess fluid
drained. I'm actually scared to death that
I have adhesions from the proceedure.
Honestly, the temping is really easy once
you get in the habit of it. And it is the
only way to really know if you have/are
ovulating. If I wasn't temping and *know*
that I haven't ovulated, I would have
already been to the doctor. But, now I can
wait it out some because technically I'm
not 'late'.
But, if you are normally pretty regular,
it might be time for you to head to the
doctor. There is a couple different things
they can do.

okay.. so I got a copy of my ultrasound
report.. it says that there is a
questionable cyst versus follicle in the
left ovary....... so since I havent
gotten my period yet I'm guessing that it
is a follicle and so it would explain why
af hasn't visited.. because if it is a
follicle that means I didn't ovulate
yet...

okay.. so yesterday I started spotting..
it is basically just in the morning and it
is so minimal that I don't need a liner or
anything.. last night I started to not
feel good.. I was having a major headache
and cramping.. the cramping was so bad
that it hurt to walk.. then this morning I
woke up and my whole body was aching.. I
feel nauseated and I keep getting dizzy
spells.. could this possibly mean I am
going to be getting af?

I dont know you could be getting the FLU
but if the cramping is so bad it hurts to
walk you may need to go to the ER.
