Apr 28

So went back to the pink building of hell and got to sit in a waiting room filled with many many pregnant women with their partners - all in varying degrees of horrible bliss, all looking at lonesome me like I was the saddest creature on the planet.

I had arrived ridiculously early for my appointment and just wanted it over with as quickly as possible.  Luckily someone somewhere likes me today and I got into the Ultrasound a half hour early.

I unceremoniously dis-robed and lay back on the bed, everything titled in the right direction which the nurse asked if I was allergic to latex?  No I answered as she pulled out a probe that was a good foot longer than it needed to be and then she told me to relax.

I know she warned me it was going to be cold but… holy icicles, Batman!

As she poked around and tried to prod my lungs into a corner she asked why I was there and then said the magic word

“Well, I can confirm it is Poly Cystic Ovaries. Your ovaries are very large.”

I was going to make a joke about them just going along with the rest of me but instead choked out only a ‘thank you’.

An answer.  Finally.

PCOS - the thing Google told me years ago I had.  The thing my wonderful GP thought I had and then my blood tests disagreed with.  The thing the evil doctor from Gynae hell thought it was too.

An answer.

Now I just have to wait for an appointment for the next step - treatment.

All day though my insides have been cramping up.  I suppose that’s what happens when someone tries to get a flag pole up your vajayjay.
