Re: possible ovary problem

[Guest guest]

,

I wouldn't panic until you talk to your dr. When I had a u/s in October

they found a cyst on my ovary. The dr said if it burst I would have severe

pain on that side for a couple of days. Maybe thats what happened.

I'm at the tail end of AF.

Dear ,

Ok, so it sounds to me like maybe you have a ruptured cyst like Pam said (i

think it was Pam). My SIL had that happen to her a few months ago and she

said the pain

was fierce. Have you decided to go see the doctor?

Take Care,

L:

If there is one thing I have learned when it comes to my paranoia about my

ectopic and further problems, it is to *try* not to jump to conclusions (no

matter how obvious an/or tempting the situation is) until I get checked out

by the doctor. Call and schedule an appointment and be sure to get the info

from the one doctor (if necessary - I didn't follow that part of the story

too well) so it can be thoroughly checked out. Also - tell your doctor

what you are scared of and ask if you have need to be. If you are not

convinced, get a second opinion.

You can bet that you are in my prayers about this. Just remember that when

it comes to insurance, your insurance might have some plans that cover IVF

and others that do not, so you would need to call and give the customer

service rep your policy number so they can check out your specific benefits.

That is how ours works...and we are NOT in a group that is covered for IVF

(cheaper premium for the company).

Take care, and know we are all in your corner!
