If I were you, I'd be taking a trillion pregnancy tests! But I'm impatient like that!

Sending you good luck vibes, too bad I'm not coming to Memphis tomorrow w/ my friend- I'd be going with you!

Good luck Nikki. I'll be thinking about you tomorrow.

Aww you're soo sweet / If you do ever head down to memphis though- you're always welcome to stay with us! / I decided not to take any more tests until i see the doctor- because so far i've had one negative and one positive- and i'm more confused than anything- my luck i'd get another negative tonight it's kinda getting stressful- so i thought it'd be better to wait and know 100% for sure tomorrow at the doctors office

HOLY MOLY! I just read all 16 pages of this and I never realized you were so sick! You're so cheerful and happy! OH hon, I hope you feel better and get the answers YOU need tomorrow! Thanks for the PM! You're the sweetest!

Yup- been cramping non stop pretty much for over a week solid now. / I'm usually pretty chipper-so that's normal for me./ At first i thought it was just a virus, but when i called the doctor- they said it could be an ectpoic pregnancy or cysts.....so just to be safe, i have an appointment tomorrow for an exam and ultrasound to see if i'm pregnant or not and if i'm not- to hopefully see what's causing the cramping and nausea along with those other delightful symptoms Thanks for all the support and kind words I'll update when i find out everything tomorrow. I hope you get to feeling better soon gorgeous!!!

Have you had your gallbladder checked? Before I had my gallbladder removed, it hurt just where yours is hurting. I was sick too. Ask your doctor about that too.

I'm not sure if I missed this part or not, but have you told Colin about all this?

Nikki I didnt even know you thought you were pregnant! I hope you are if thats what you want. Oh who am I kidding I hope you are (Lava Girl needs TCS friend!). LOL I cant wait till tomorow. You have to post immediatly as soon as you can. Im sorry you havnt been feeling well though. As you know I thought my pregnancy was just my IBS acting up. So it could be either way.

No i haven't. I didn't even think about that. I will ask them tomorrow when they do my ultrasound. Would it should up on my ultrasound if there were something wrong with my gallbladder? / The thing about that is- they recently did a TON of GI tests on me- i mean everything! I would be shocked if it hadn't shown up when they did the tests. (I had colonoscopies, upper gi scopes, bravo ph monitor implant, gastric emptying study, ct scan, diabetes and celiac tests *negative on both*, fecal studies, x-rays- you name it- they did about everything you can think of to figure out what was causing all my gi problems. i will ask about the gall bladder thing tomorrow- but i would have assumed it would have shown up before now on those other tests...but i could always be wrong

Yup. and he's estatic- he's dying to be a daddy! So he's really hoping i am. I told him that there was a chance it could be ectopic (then i had to sort of explain that to him) so we decided that if it is ectpoic- i do want the surgery to try and move the baby around and hopefully safe it / I also told him it could be something as simple as a cyst from what the doctor says so not to get his hopes up just yet since we're not positive. I know he's really hoping we're gonna have a baby though.

Thanks Amber / Hehe- you know i'm hoping i am pregnant! I definitely want to be a momma- but even if i'm not now- i definitely plan on starting a family sometime in the future / See- i thought it was just my gastroparesis or ibs acting up too- but my symptoms have NEVER been this bad and i have NEVER cramped like this before- it's non-stop for the most part. so i'm not sure as soon as i know i'll update!

I've been keeping up on this thread and just wanted to let you know that me and Kitters are thinking of you and hope that everything turns out the way you would like it to be! Good Luck!!!

Thats so great that Colin is happy about this!!
I'm so so anxious, I wish it were tomorrow already!

Well I hope things turn out well for you and Colin. I wonder how many women have mistaken being pregnant with bad GI problems. I went into the doctors because I was really bloated , wasnt having normal periods (just spotting), not being able to keep anything down and just havnig all kinds of stuff related to my IBS just 100 times worse. And the doctor sat me down and said honey your pregnant.

Drink TONS of water for the cramping. Even if you don't want to, get at least those 8 glasses of water a day. For some reason, a lot of water helps to lessen the cramps. You won't feel it right away but they will get less.

Good luck!

I've been thinking of you all night! I just said a little prayer for you and will be glued to the computer all tomorrow until there is an update!

I hope you're feeling a bit better hun! Hang in there!

I'll definately be thinking of you tomorrow! I'm glad Colin is OK with the possibility that you two could be pregnant, that might make things a little better.

I hope all goes well at the dr. tomorrow! Update us ASAP!

Thanks Amber! I appreciate that! / hehe i don't blame you for mixing up your gi problems with your pregnancy- it's hard to tell sometimes- especially when they symptoms seem smiliar! I can't wait for little Lava Girl to get here so we can all be TCS aunts and uncles!

Thankyou!! I really appreciate that! *and just so ya'll aren't waiting all day- my appointment is not till 1pm (cst) for the ultrasound, and my exam is not until 2pm for the exam and doctors consult.....then it takes about an 40-50 minutes to get home from there.....so maybe around 3 or 4ish i'll be back home to update ya'll!

I'll keep drinking it...but it hasn't helped much so far. (i don't drink soft drinks at all- haven't had any in over 8 years) so all i normally drink is water, some juice, and tea once in a while. I've also tried chammomile tea for the cramping- but that didn't help eithor. Today i've already gone through 12 one pint water bottles...(that's typical for me- i drink lots of water)...so i'll keep drinking it, but at this point, the cramping is just really painful and nothing is really helping. / Thanks for the sweet words! / They also told me to have 4 cups of water before going in for my ultrasound tomrrow. i'm not sure why, but i'll do it!

Thankyou! I will as soon as i know one way or the other.

I was diagnosed with an ultrasound. The gallstones showed up as a bunch of little dots. I had my surgery 2 days after my doctor diagnosed me. I was in and out the same day and back at work 10 days after the surgery. I had 4 little incisions that you can barely see anymore. Let us know what your doctor says.

Good luck in the morning !!! and i hope things have gotten better for you tonight
