This is not a fairytale. I learned that quite a few months ago. Naively, we went into this thinking "Oh! We want to have a baby now" and expected that it would happen because we wanted it to. And, for some that does work. Not for me - or many others like me. It's hard. It's emotional. It sometimes gets the best of you. So, after over a year of trying to conceive and a PCOS diagnosis, I find myself here - trying to believe.

Ultrasound Today

It's been awhile since I had one of those suckers. It was sooooooo hot here today even at 10am, so throwin' back 5 large styrofoam cups of water made me wanna puke and pee my pants.

The u/s tech didn't really tell me much, but this u/s was a little different than the others I've had. Normally, I fill my bladder up so my girly bits are visible and just try not to pee while they do their thing,  but in the middle of it she had me get up, go pee and come back. She said the reason for that was to see if my bladder is emptying fully when I pee. I guess that may be a cause of the hematuria.

Anyway, I hope to hear something from the doc tomorrow.

OH and I have graduated from spotting to extremely light flow. :) CD72

Trip to Urgent Care

After 3 weeks of abdominal pain that comes and goes, I decided to finally go to the urgent care clinic. It was especially bad today. And every day when I wake up, I cramp horribly..like before I even make it out of bed. Super weird. But I figured I should get it checked out in case I have some funky cyst(s) issue. It's like CD66 or something like that.

Well surprise, surprise. They found blood in my pee, which happens every single time I go to the doc. I told her that too. I'm like..it doesn't hurt when I pee. They always try to write it off as a uti. But then she asked me a magical question "Have you ever had an ultrasound done?" I could have squealed...but they might have taken me over to the mental ward. I told her not in a looooong time, and when I did they found a 5cm cyst. So *hallelujah chorus* she ordered a u/s. She wants pelvic and bladder looked at. I call Monday to schedule. Oh, I still got an Rx for my 'uti'. And take tylenol, and drink plenty of fluids in the meantime.
