Ok, I'm going to stop going to doctors because they just end up sending me to MORE doctors! My appointment went fairly well, the doctor is REALLY nice and made me feel comfortable which was good. One strange thing...both him and the nurse looked at me funny when I said I didn't use birth control. I mean, I'm married....do MOST married people use birth control?
Anyway, I told him that every few months I have REALLY bad cramps and they are concentrated on the left side. So, now I'm scheduled for an ultrasound because it's probably a cyst. But, "just to be one the safe side" I also have to go for a colonoscopy to make sure it isn't caused by colon cancer. YIKES! Also, he had to take 3 biopsies from a "growth" (ouch). Sigh. I know it's better to rule things out, but I was hoping to finish my life without THAT test. But, I lived through this, which is a good thing.
