Not really, since I was just getting back from vacation... I guess I'll just wait to see how my next period goes. If things feel weird again, I'm heading right back to her. Honestly, I don't care! I pay my Medicare premiums, and it's her job to examine me if I want—even if I show up ten times a week!!!
Carol, honestly, your best bet is just to book an appointment with a gynecologist. You can usually get it all done in a single visit—if it's urgent, they can run those swabs right then and there!
So, they were actually checking me out right around my ovulation window, but there's no way that was the cause—I know my body too well for that! This felt completely bizarre. Honestly, the worst part is the cramping and the bleeding that followed; it was heavier than anything I've ever dealt with, and I’ve never had issues with my period before. I guess I'll wait and see, but if things aren't back to normal by next month, I am definitely going in for more intensive testing!
I am honestly so lost when it comes to these cysts! Two weeks ago, I ended up in the ER because of this intense pain in my lower left abdomen. A surgeon and a gynecologist both checked me out—my own OBGYN had seen me just the day before too—and everyone is insisting everything is totally fine. They ran blood work, urine tests, the whole nine yards, and everything comes back clean!! But I was in absolute agony! The pain finally settled down, only for me to get hit by such a massive cramp a week later that I actually fell off the toilet (I was just sitting there trying to go...). About an hour after the cramp, I started bleeding, though at first, it didn't seem like much. Then, the next day, I had incredibly heavy bleeding with clots. It lasted four days and then just stopped... I have no clue if that was actually my period since the bleeding started four days before my expected cycle, or if it was some kind of cyst that finally burst... but how on earth did they miss it? Now, my left ovary is starting to hurt again and I'm losing my mind. I feel so embarrassed going back to the OBGYN; they'll probably just tell me I'm imagining things. Has anyone else gone through anything like this?! Thanks!
