Sunday night, I developed some severe, sharp pain in my lower abdomen. By morning, I couldn’t stand. The pain! My family care doctor did an evaluation and sent me right to the hospital. She was certain I had appendicitis. (Insert yesterday’s instagram here) They did a CT scan and didn’t find appendicitis but did find a massive amounts of cysts on both ovaries–several of which had ruptured and shot fluid into my pelvis. We are so glad I didn’t have to have surgery to remove my appendix (so, so thankful!), but we are still unsure if this is another player in our secondary infertility. For now, you can find me hopped up on pain meds in the fetal position watching Veronica Mars.
Ps. Your well-wishes on Instagram and Facebook kept me in good spirits all day. Mean it.
Its a common thing for me too:( i take Excedrin the moment i start cramping and it helps keep the edge off. Although a quick visit to the er and an iv of anti nausea and pain med will have you feeling better in a jiffy.
I can empathize. I’ve been having this happen since my teens and had a particularly bad episode recently. Rest up and feel better soon! I’ve found that a heating pad on the abdomen can help sooth the pain.
Yikes! Feel better soon!
Get better, you!
Oh huge hugs Jules! Thinking of you, I had similar a few years ago and can remember the pain clearly to this day :(
