Doctor's appointment

So I know a lot of people are concern with how my appointment on Thursday went so I figure I should probably tell you guys.

So I had an appointment with my OB-GYN on Thursday morning. They ask me what's wrong and everything, so I describe my symptoms to the nurse and explain to her that we are trying to conceive. She proceeds to take my blood pressure and had me go pee in a cup. Then tells me when I get back to strip from the waist down. So I get back to my room and start unbuckling my belt when my physician comes in and says wait don't get undress just yet. She sits me down and asks me some questions, like how exactly did we do the insemination, when did we do it, and when did I start having pains.

After her questioning she tells me she wants to do an ultrasound first. The ultrasound tech explains to me what I'm seeing on the screen. It's all Greek to me... She at first couldn't find my left ovary so she had to go a different route. She found a lot of eggs in my left ovary, and four eggs in my right. She asked if I was on any fertility drugs. No I am not. Now keep in mind that I haven't ovulated since June 20th, so Amity says that if I ovulate all those eggs are gonna drop. We're hoping I don't become the next octo-mom.

So after the ultrasound I go back to my room and Kalea, my physician, tells me what the results are. I don't really recall what she said. (That's why I wish Amity was there...) She does tell me that I do have small cysts, but nothing to be concern about. I then get a pelvic exam (it actually hurt a lot) and proceeds to tell me that it looks like a pelvic infection.

She prescribed 3 different anti-biotics to "attack the infection aggressively before it gets any worse so we can avoid a trip to the hospital." And sends me to get blood work done.

I have a follow-up appointment on Monday, hopefully I'll have more details then. I'm also gonna ask for the ultrasound pictures so I can share with you guys.

So as of today, Saturday, I'm feeling better then I have. I don't know if it is the drugs because honestly, I think it's too soon to tell. My stomach does hurt more at night and early morning then anything else.

Well that's it for now. I'll have more information after Monday, hopefully.
