Worried....

**catnapper** · 02-13-2008, 10:33 AM

I've been having some "female" problems lately and went for an ultrasound this morning. She took FOREVER on one section (which turned out to be my right ovary) and took a hundred different views, and even did a funky thing with bright color surrounding the ovary. I'm no medical specialist by any means, but I knew this couldn't be good.

Then she got to the left ovary and said "I must say you have a beautiful left ovary" to which I responded "I guess that means I don't have a pretty right ovary?" And she said "not by any means. Its a pretty rough looking ovary" and she wouldn't say any more. I know they can't say anything and she probably said too much.

Now I'm worried

Never ceases to amaze me how some medical professionals can be so tactless.........

Could just be fibroids.....

I had female trouble and went in for an ultrasound, I had horrible bleeding. She the ultra sound tech said "you have an IUD" I said yes she said "hmmmm' so 4 days later my doctor calls to say it is misplaced, now why the heck wouldn't she tell me, I could have gotten pregnant.

I wouldn't be too worried Kim at least they can remove the ovary if there is a problem.

My thoughts are with you

Yeah I think the Techs need some lessons in how to keep a poker face. if they can't tell us anything then they shouldn't show any reactions to make us worry either.

When I had my last ultrasound when i was overdue with Hannah the tech was chit chat the whole time... and then suddenly she said "Do you have an appt with your Dr after this" I said "No, should I" and she didn't say another word to me the WHOLE rest of the time. thanks for the subtle hint that something isn't right

so we were sitting there thinking the worst like a heart problem or kidney problem or some kind of developement problem... whatever we could think of. And all it was was low fluid and the Dr decided to induce me. PFFT... she didn't need to make us worry like that for nothing.

HOpefully it's nothing serious

I thought you could only get fibroids in your uterus -- not your ovaries.

Maybe it's just cysts growing on your ovaries. My girlfriend gets those every few years and they just laser them off.

Try not to worry too much (I know, that's easy to say. Hard to do). Because you'll hear from the doctor soon once they take a closer look.

Girl ~ You just can't catch a break lately, can you? I'm so, so sorry about all the crap you're having to go through right now. I'm just so thankful that you have a supportive husband and a job you love. Many prayers, that things get better in "Kim World" very, very soon!

Try not to worry too much until you have heard from the doctor, i am sure if it is anything it maybe as lisa said a cyst which is very common and removable, it may not even be that,our tech's here tell us everything you need to know, which is good as you don't have to keep worrying needlessly, take care and i hope all is well with you.
