No Baby
I went to the doctor on Monday and they did a pregnancy test, which was negative.  After an exam, the doctor could feel something on the left side of my pelvis, so they decided to do an ultrasound.  They used the portable machine, and were having a hard time finding my ovary on the left side.  There is definitely no baby in my uterus, and as far as they could tell, no baby in my left tube, either.  However she is fairly certain that there is a sizable cyst on the left ovary, bc she was having a hard time finding it, indicating that the cyst was pulling the ovary out of position.  I have to go back and have a level II ultrasound done to determine the type of cyst, and to decide what needs to be done.

The pain comes and goes, but when it comes, it is nearly debilitating.  I hate it. I'm managing it pretty well, though, so I guess we'll just see what happens.  I am hoping it can be resolved without surgery, and that it is indeed just a cyst and nothing else.  My grandmother had ovarian cancer at a young age (not this young, but in her 40s) and we have to make sure that that isn't an issue.  Usually if it is a cyst they use birth control to shrink the size of the cyst, but I've had issues with that before, so I'm not really sure what to hope for.

Right now I'm still just asking prayers that it is something simple that can be fixed with relatively no problems.  Sorry it's taken me a while to update you guys, but I don't have a laptop anymore and I have to pry the desktop from my children's cold dead fingers :D  Thanks for all your prayers and support. Love you guys!

  • I'm a wife. I'm a mom. I'm a photographer. I'm a lover of Jesus. My house is a mess, my kids are dirty, we eat take out more often than not. My life is loud, busy and crazy. And that's okay with me.

    This is Eric, the man you've been praying for. He's a paramedic. He quilts in his spare time. No, I couldn't make that up :) He has NASH (a form of liver disease, non-alcoholic) and diabetes, but those things don't define him. He's a man of God, an insanely wonderful husband, and the best daddy in the world.. Just ask these guys..

    Our daughter Ali, she's 9. She's fiercely opinionated and strong willed. She's a Daddy's girl, but the umbilical cord hasn't but cut from me, either. She's a gymnast, and proud of it. She spends more time upside down or turning flips than she does walking. She's crazy smart, and absolutely sure of it. She is my insufferable little know it all.

    Our son Dylan, 7. We lovingly refer to him as Chubs. Or Chubby. Or fat boy. Ahem. He is all boy, as you can see by his crazy wild energy. He has the highest pain tolerance of any child I have ever met. He plays soccer and does gymnastics, but truly he is a gamer, a nerd. He is an avid reader and loves to climb. Not to be outdone by his sister, he's a drama king, but to him, I'm the best mommy in the world.
