Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 Carmen, The bleeding does sound anovulatory if it is in the middle of your cycle. That is the only things I can think of. On a happier note, I'm glad you got things straightened out with your dr. Didn't I say that sometimes the nurses leave a bit to be desired? ;o It is amazing how little the dr knows about what they do/tell patients! -AmyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 Hi Carmen, It sounds like overall you did have a pretty good dr appt. Yes stress can do alot to a body-->been there done that. Maybe the stress was with your classes and your mil. I hope that you feel a little better also knowing that the cyst was just a corpus luteum cyst and nothing to worry about. Please take care and just try to CHILL . Love, Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 Carmen, I am glad to hear that your doctor is working with you, and is understanding. I wish I could tell you why you are spotting. Are you stressed? How are things between your mother in law and you? I hope you figure out why you are spotting soon. Hang in there.---Keri > > Ok, everyone. I went to the dr yesterday just to have a urinalysis done b/c I thought I had a bladder infection. I didn't have an actual appt with the dr, I just had to drop by the lab. Well, the urinalysis showed nothing. I am still spotting today and it's getting heavier. I started spotting on Friday. They went and got the dr and he saw me even though I didn't have an appt. He said he didn't know what it was. Either I was having an anovulatory cycle or stress or something. He said come back if my period doesn't start when it's supposed to. I wish I could make the spotting go away in the mean time. He felt confident that it wasn't another ep b/c my last period was June 22-27 and it was normal. > > So does anybody have any idea what this is all about??? What kind of spotting could this be??? > > Oh yeah, he also told me how to get my hsg scheduled. I have to schedule after I start my period b/c he wants it on day 9 or 10. And the ovarian cyst I saw documented in my medical records from the ep hospital stay was a corpus luteum cyst - nothing to worry about. > > Overall, it was a pretty good visit (I only cried once - a record for me) and I felt much better about my dr. He introduced me to one of his nurses and told me ONLY deal with her. He told her that anytime I call to talk to him before telling me ANYTHING. He was very upset that they had told me I needed and IVP test (for kidneys) and Clomid over the phone. > OK, sorry so long, I just wanted to update you guys. > > Carmen > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 Carmen, I am glad the dr was understanding, sometimes they have no idea what their office staff does, you know? It does sound like you made some progress. I don't know what the spotting could be, I am sorry, I wish I could help. When are you suppose to get af? I am glad dr will do hsg for you, maybe that will help alittle, it did make me feel alittle more hopeful when I heard that my tube was clear. Please keep me updated on things. Take care and try to relax (I know that is so much easier said than done but you have alot on your plate with school and all.....take care) --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2001 Report Share Posted July 22, 2001 AmyR, Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to your e-mail. It's the same old school story. How long does mid-cycle anovulatory bleeding usually last? Mine lasted from exactly 14 days into my cycle until af came. I'm so confused!!!

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2001 Report Share Posted July 22, 2001 Keri, I never did figure out what the spotting was, but it lasted until af started. I really don't even know exactly which day I started, it just got so heavy all of a sudden. I was never one to have such a heavy af. Do you think this is from the ep??? I'm supposed to have an hsg on day 9 or 10 of my cycle. I just now read your e-mail about having the lap surgery done. I know it's scary, but hopefully it will be a good thing. Maybe they can get your tubes good and cleaned out. Even though there is a little scar tissue left over from the cut, the dr wouldn't do it if it weren't going to leave it in a better condition.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2001 Report Share Posted July 23, 2001 I'm not sure that there is a time limit for anovulatory bleeding. If it was indeed an anovulatory cycle, then that is what makes it so hard to say what you should expect...being anovulatory means your body didn't follow the typical path that cycle so therefore it is hard to make any predicitions. Try not to worry too much about an anovulatory cycle though right now. It is not unusual for women to have them from time to time...it doesn't mean that you aren't going to ovulate ever again. But, if you see it happen over and over again in the next couple months, then it is probably a good idea to consult a dr and see if there is a more serious reason for it other then you are just under alot of stress (which is a big cause for anov. cycles). -AmyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
