A lot has been going on in the last few days and I don't really know what to make of it. It started Friday with my first FC consultation. I was a little impressed since we had been told that he is always running late that we only had to wait about 1/2 hour. He didn't really tell me anything I didn't know already, but it was a good anatomy lesson for D. He didn't do any tests that day because I answered the questions with "normal" answers. He ordered a SA for DH and told me to call in my CD1 to schedule my CD3 bloodwork and HSG.

When we got home, D suggested a quickie because I was still in my fertile window. That was the first time ever that sex was painful. I didn't think much of it, but then on Saturday my lower abdomen started to hurt when I moved. By saturday night I was in constant pain and considering the ER. I took a tylenol and a gravol and went to bed to see how I would do overnight. Sunday morning was a little worse so I called telehealth and they told me to go to a Dr within 4 hours so I went to the walk-in clinic because I didn't feel like spending my entire Sunday in the waiting room of the ER.

The Dr. at the clinic looked at my recent ultrasound results and pretty much just said "yep, you have endometriosis, and you will probably be in pain from time to time and you need to learn how to deal with it, do you want a script for pain meds?" I told her that I had just O'd on Thurs or Fri and wasn't comfortable taking prescription pain meds right now. "well, then there's not uch I can do. If it get suddenly worse or you develop a fever, go to the ER."

So that is exactly what I did on Monday, I called in sick and spent 8hrs in the ER and still wasn't any closer to answers. However, I was in more pain from all the poking around. The hospital did some bloodwork and a pap and ordered another ultrasound for Tuesday. My white bloodcell count was slightly high so they think I have an infection of some kind but they don't know what. The Dr. threw around that it could be Pelvic Inflammatory Disease but he was not willing to rule out appendicitis.

I had the ultrasound yesterday and I had to go back through the ER to get the results. It wasn't as busy, it only took 4 hours instead of 8, so that wasn't as bad... but They still could not determine what the pain is!!!! The only reason I'm not extremely pissed and going to yet another hospital for answers, is that I started to feel better yesterday. I'm in no way feeling normal, but better than Monday and hoping that this is a trend that will continue.

I feel about the same today as I did yesterday and I was able to go to work, but I just I didn't do too much, and I didn't go to any sites. I told my boss that if there was something that I had to do out at the buildings, I would have to have help from someone and he was happy with that.

If I feel the same tomorrow and haven't heard back from the FC, I will head to Hamilton on Friday and not leave without real answers.
