I can so relate to part of your post here , having an transvaginal

ultrasound ,jippieeeeeeee NOT but when that is needed then it is best to let

them do what they need to do,... I noticed that you sayd that you thought

you saw something on the screen, sweetie why didnt you ask the doc what that

was???? I would have asked him questions about whatever I saw and wanted to

know what is going on , on the other hand your doctor could have shared with

you what he saw by telling you so you arent so in the dark:((((

I know whatever the result is , it is best to find out a.s.a.p because if

there is something wrong regardless of it being xmastime then I would push

for them to do so as quick as possible,..

I wished for the time untill you get the result I would be able to take the

feeling of you being scared away ,.. and by the time you learn what it is

,if they found something please make sure they get into action as soon as it

is possible,..

And if you get to see a specialist talk to him about conciquences of a

hysterectomy before you immediately say get that over and done with,..

Let them tell you exactly what is going on, how they can help you if needed

and tell them that you will let them know what to do and so right after you

yourself decided,..

I am thinking of you and send you a big hug and lots of liefs

I went for an ultrasound (normal & trans-vag) when I had PID and the tech kept

oohing & aahing but said she could not tell me anything, only the doctor could

and I'd have to wait for my next apt. Of course she said if she found something

that needed to be treated immediately they wouldnt let me just leave.

And I had an echo-cardiogram & a trans-esophigeal (sp?) echocardiogram and the

same thing, the tech doing the test could not tell me what she was seeing but

said I'd have to wait for my next doctors visit.

Now, strangely when I was pregant they told me everything right away (like it

was a biy & he looked normal) but this was also in the 90's, maybe things

changed? My last ultrasound where she woudlt tell me anything was 2004.

Anyway, hoping it's nothing too serious Chelle. Hang in there and happy

holidays, despite this.

Thanks. I'm trying not to worry. I'm kind of figuring that I have cysts on my

ovary again. I've had them many, many times, which is why I'm ready for them to

yank everything out. I've had my kids, my husband had a vasectomy so there's no

way we'll change our minds, I'm 43, and I'm sick of dealing with all this female

nonsense. I've got to take care of my kids, and I can't do that when I can't

get off the damned couch!

I first got sick in November of 2006 and it seems like forever that I've been

fighting whatever this is. I think it's worse when you don't know what's wrong,

but a lot of you probably disagree with that! I know a lot of you have been in

pain for a LOT longer than I have and you have my every sympathy. I feel so bad

for everyone who found their way here. I know I'm lucky that my pain is usually

controllable. I just wish I could get my appetite back. I'm losing weight

again because it's so hard for me to eat.

I'll find out Wednesday. The tech wouldn't tell me anything either. I think

they're prohibited from telling you - it has to be the doctor. That's why I

didn't even ask. It would have been nice to know right there though! I also

found out about my babies though when I had those ultrasounds. It's so weird

that they can tell you when you're pregnant but not for anything else! Mine

were in the 90's too - my last was in 98 - 9 years old already. Amazing.

Keeping positive thoughts....
