Update.....
Posted: 02-23-07 14:22pm

Well I just wanted to update you guys on what is going on... When I first joined this site, I was having one heck of a day... My gyn told me that I probably had endo and that she was referring me to a reproductive endocrinologist, because I have not been using protection of any kind for the past 6 years. Also she told me that I had a cyst on the side of my breast. Well I went to get my mammogram last week and they told me that there was nothing to worry about, that it was benign (sp?). I had to have a ultrasound done, because they wanted to see if it had fluid in it...Well the tech couldn't even find the bump and had to search for it. She told me that it is a ridge on a blood vessel and I don't have anything to worry about....Yeah!!!

So obviously I am happy about that, but I am still trying to get to the other problem of not being able to get pregnant.

Well.......I got a call from the gyn yesterday and she told me that I needed to come in again and do a follow up appointment so the doctor could look closer at my cervix. She acted like it was no big deal and said that I would be able to go back to work that day and everything. She skirted around the subject, but I think I will be getting a coloscopy done. I have had two of those before, but every time I had an abnormal pap and had to have one done, they do the follow up and everything was fine.

So here we go again... I am certain that what ever it is that they keep finding is what is preventing me from having a baby!!!!!

This is getting so aggravating... One obstacle after another. When is it going to be my turn to have a baby????

Sorry to vent a little...I'm having a bad day today Sad

Hi Star
That's great news about the cyst. One less thing to worry about.
I had a coloscopy done many years ago too from abnormal cells on my cervix. They should check to see if there was any damage to the canal in the cervix. I've read that sometimes that surgery can cotterize the mucus cells in the canal...do you get any ewcm around ovulation? If so, you have nothing to worry about. I don't get it anymore. Good news is IUI will totally solve that problem if that's the case. Good luck and keep us posted

Sorry you're having a bad day. Just try to stay positive. Don't automatically think that the discovery of a problem is a negative. The worst thing would be to have a problem that doctors can't figure out. If the doctors can find it and fix it, then it is great news. I stinks that you're going through all these problems, but look for the light at the end of the tunnel.

Baby dust.

Star - well I hope everything goes well with your colposcopy. I have been having them twice a year for the past 3 years, b/c each time I go in my cell smears come back either ok ( and then I have to go one more time before they'll release me as a patient and then when I do go back the smear comes back as "scanty cells" - whatever that means??!! Or as abnormal again!) or something is just not right with them. Who knows, I gave up trying to figure it all out.
But, everything worked out for me in the end and I'm now 12 weeks, 2 days along. I am supposed to go again for another colposcopy July.25th, but I have to call in to let them know that I am now pregnant and see what they want to do from there.
I hope that oyu will get to see your bfp very soon. All the ladies here deserve to have it happen to them now - they are all so kind and caring and deserving of a little one!!!!

Best of luck to you and baby dust as well!

Thanks jaemierin for your words, they are very kind. There is no way in the world that I would be able to handle that pain twice a year. That was such horrible pain. I think it was because I was expecting it, so that made my nerves worse. They had to take 2 biopsies (sp?) and it hurt bad. I am such a baby when it comes to pain, I don't know how I will ever deliver a baby. This was my third coloscopy, but the other ones I don't really remember, other than they hurt. I was 18 and 20 for my last ones. My mom was with me the other two, and I wish she could have been there yesterday. I embarassed myself because I was crying like a baby. And the stupid doctor thought I was crying because I was soooo upset that I am having trouble gettting pregnant. Uh... No you a freakin hurting me, just get it over with and I will be fine...
I have decided that I am going to switch doctors when this testing is over with. i just really don't like this doctor and the way she talks to me... she is really cold and seems like she is just being professional and has no sympathy. I hate doctors like that.

Anyways... this is turning into a book.

I spent the night laying on the couch having dh pamper me.... The one time that I can get away with it and I milked it good!!! ha ha

Thanks for being here for me girls... i don't know what I would do if I couldn't let my feelings out on you guys..
