If you are a man and don't like to talk about women stuff, don't read on. thank you.
After being in cramping pain for 3 days, I decided to go in to myOB to see if she could find out what was wrong. After checking me and doing some tests, she thought it looked like I had appendicitis, and that I should go to the ER. So I made my way on over to the ER, reluctant at what was in store for me, but relieved that I may finally figure out what was wrong. They did a CT scan of my stomach, and husband joined me in the ER as I waited for the results. The ER doctor was finally able to tell me that my scan came back abnormal and it looked like I had an ovarian cyst that ruptured and bled a lot. I had a pool of blood in my lower abdomen and going up my sides. She then told me she hadn’t seen that much blood from an ovarian cyst for a long time (about 12 oz) and I would probably need surgery, but she would wait for the OB to come and make the final decision. So here I am gearing myself up for surgery, when 3 hours later (KILLER!) one of my OB ’s partners graced us with her presence, and decided we would just try to wait it out and see if my body absorbed all the blood. So I will just need to continue to deal for the next few days. The good thing is, I don’t have the constant cramping feelings anymore, just a little dizzy and uncomfortable, and a lot of pressure in my abdomen. The bad things is, I am still pretty helpless. The good thing is my wonderful MIL will be here till tomorrow, and my husband has really stepped it up and been amazing! Thank you so much to everyone that called and prayed for me. I truly feel I was blessed throughout all this. Hopefully I will be up and around in a couple days!

In conclusion- my IUD may have caused the ovarian cyst and I have decided to take it out. I guess there is no easy way to do birth control! Here is a lovely picture of me at the hospital...

Okay, so this isn't appropriate but I am going to say it anyways, I thought you were going to show a picture of an IUD after you had talked about it and I was gearing myself up for it, and lets just say I'm glad it was you at the hospital. You look good in that gown, ow ow! Hope you are feeling better!
