Yesterday I had an ultrasound to try and discover why I was bleeding so strangely.
(To new readers: I can’t find the post I already wrote about it, so the long and the short is – I got my period and then proceeded to bleed for 20+ days. I went on the pill for a month, got horribly depressed and sick, spotted anyway, came off the pill, felt better, bled for 17 days, went insane, had sex, bled more, got cramps, bled more and completely failed at falling pregnant.
BREATHE!)
SO!
I had an ultrasound that showed approximately NOTHING.
Oh, he saw what he thought was a polyp, but then after he did an internal ultrasound (Fun! Lets let a strange man stick a cold lubed wand up my snatch and try and stab me. THANKS.) he managed to dislodge the supposed polyp and therefore decided that it was indeed a small blood clot, which he warned me that I would probably pass later one.
No sign of it yet. Heh.
I am pleased that there is nothing ‘wrong’. However it leaves me with no reason for the excessive cramping after sex and just because my body wants to make me miserable.
I have to make an appointment with my GP and get a referral to a gyno. Then we see where we end up.
(Aside from laid back on a table with someone looking for gold while Nathan giggles at me.)
(Yes, he did indeed spend the whole ultrasound giggling at me. I have promised him that when he needs his prostate examined when he is older, I am going to sit and kick my legs, while giggling at him. Payback and all that.)
(Yes, I am a bitch sometimes. He loves me though.)
Next time, remind me to tell the sonographer that I am allergic to latex. 30 seconds of my time and theirs required to change the condom, will save me from multitudes of discomfort.
Why yes! I am allergic to latex! It makes me uh.. uncomfortable and generally gives me cystitis.
30 seconds.
*shakes head*
My husband thinks all gynecologist visits are funny and giggles through every second of my torture. Or at least, he did. Now that I’ve started going to a guy that’s actually kind of hot, Mr. Husband suddenly takes the whole business very seriously.

My first comment to your blogs which I love by the way.Best of luck with your referral to a gyno from what I have read in the papers lately they are pretty slack.Best of luck and like you said in my email all in good time.Cheers Tanya
If you have yarrow growing wild where you live, a handful of the flowers and leaves infused in your bathwater will really help with the bleeding and cramping. I used to have such horrible cramps I would throw up until I tried the yarrow bath. Only a handful, mind. I put them in a knee-high pantyhose thingie.

That is so not fair. I used to have that happen too.I would get all cramped afterwards. It passed as I got older though. I tagged you for a meme to keep your mind off it.

My wife’s gyno (Dr. Angela I.) is this really gorgeous Italian woman with really long, very curly dark hair and big dark eyes and I NEVER used to enjoy going on the gyno visits with Annie until she started seeing Dr. Angela. That said, I KNOW what a miserable time it can be when things aren’t right ‘down there’. I hope, more than anything else, that things get right for you – because it really isn’t fun to poke fun at somebody who isn’t really feeling well and might take an innocent remark poorly. And I don’t want, under any circumstances, to say something to you that you would ever find less than funny. So get better so I can make fun of your girly bits without offending you.

If I’d have laughed I’d have gotten a kick in the face. Those stirrups aren’t at that height for nothing.

J laughed at me every time I had a check up while pregnant… the arse! Mind you, I think I actually almost broke his hand this time round with the labour, he insisted afterwards that it wasn’t sore, but then why was he crying out when I did it eh? EH?
Ahem.. sorry.. off topic.
I really hope things go back to normal for you soon and you can get that baby made already!

Taz’s last blog post..25 weeks old
My hubby has only accompanied me to ONE gyno appointment (my gyno is always a WOMAN after a freaky incident that happened with a male dr when I was in my early 20’s)…. and that was when I was pregnant and went into pre-term labor at 19 weeks. If he’d have laughed, he’d be divorced. I can’t imagine my hubby watching me get “the wand” treatment. Yuck.
I really hope they find what is amiss. Being in pain and bleeding all the time SUCKS. I had that for almost a year after Wynnie was born. It finally went away.

Oh sweetie, you have been through the wars. Thankfully you may now be getting some answers.
And I agree about the yarrow. Works wonders.

Ugh those internal ultrasounds. I had one of those and felt like some sort of warning advertisement for the dangers of gang rape. Not good dude.
Tasina’s last blog post..It’s all about the sauce
I’ve never had an internal ultrasound thank goodness, they don’t sound like fun times. I’m also allergic to latex, instead of cystitis I get thrush from them, so no condoms for me ever.Cystitis can be much lessened by peeing within 10-20 minutes after having sex. It’s often been called the honeymoon disease because it commonly occurs then when newly wed couples stay in bed having sex, napping, waking to have sex, then falling asleep wrapped up together. Good luck with the gyno, make sure he or she does every test known to mankind to find out why you’re having problems.
Good news on the scan revealing nothing to worry about though !!
hopefully the referal will shed some light !!
fingers crossed!!
he laughed? Book that prostate check now… he deserves it!
Internal scans are horrid, uncomfortable and just down right weird… I hope the gyno can shed some light on things for you!
