Last night was a rough night so my sweet husband got me my hot pad and I slept with that on my belly (which made me hot and I have to sleep with a blanket on so he turned on the fan and may have gotten too cold all on my behalf).
Today I woke up still in pain, probably more than during the night but with the other office manager recovering from surgery I had to buck up and head in to work. After making my self look as cute as possible while in pain I strapped on my ever so fashionable fanny pack hot pad (the kind you throw in the microwave) and tearfully headed to work. A few hours into work I was hurting and realized that tomorrow was flaking out I asked Dr. Dave if it would be alright with him if I stayed home tomorrow because I was in pain, he took one look at me and said, "of course why don't you head home now? The assistants can cover for you". Now he may drive me bonkers sometimes but I am grateful he is so caring and understanding when it comes to things like this.
Once I got home I called Dr. Lammi's office to let them know I was still in pain and have not ovulated according to the Ovulation Prediction Kit and my BBT. His nurse said she wanted me to be seen and they could do it today or Wednesday. Well Wednesday I had work when they wanted so today it was.
Dr. Lammi was very attentive and understanding, just like he was a month ago. He said that the best way to relieve my pain would be pregnancy or birth control and since I want to get pregnant we should aim for that. He wants me to get started on clomid this next cycle to try to convince my ovaries to cooperate and release an egg. With clomid my risk of cysts does increase and so he wouldn't start me if I already had large ones so he did a vaginal ultrasound where he saw that my lining was thin and multiple cysts were found on both ovaries. He said this may be the causeto my discomfort but the cysts were in the normal range and it would be safe to start clomid. My cysts had polka dots all over them, polka dots are my favorite pattern so maybe my ovaries are trying to get me to like them... Little do they know if they would do their job I would be so happy with them.
After the ultrasound I had blood work done for a serum progesterone test to see for sure if I didn't ovulate and if I have enough hormones to sustain a pregnancy. I should be getting the results Monday or Tuesday.
Dr. Lammi is someone I feel that is genuine and wants me to be happy and get pregnant. He is always asking which is more important to me, pain free or pregnant? To which I always respond "pregnant". He is always asking what I think. I like that.
I am still hurting, I am still frustrated but I am glad I have a Dr. who cares, who listens and who is actively trying to make my life better.
