Now what?

Well, while I am impatiently waiting for a new appointment for a hysteroscopy, things have started to happen. Things that aren't comfortable. Things that have me once again worried and asking myself... now what? Here's how it went down:

Hormona: Hey Infertile, what's shakin'?
The Infertile: I feel like hammered hell. Back off.
Hormona: Oooh, someone ovulated from the wrong follicle this morning.
The Infertile: Get snogged.
Hormona: No really. Tell me. If you can't talk to your hormones who can you talk to?
The Infertile: Fine. First, I have had cramping since cycle day 12. For no apparent reason. Strong enough to warrant engaging the Shield of +2 Naproxen.
Hormona: Heavenly Bounty of Oreos! That sucks.
The Infertile: Yeah, so then I had been thinking I hadn't ovulated yet. I couldn't get a stable reading on the thermometer in the mornings. It kept fluctuating. Meanwhile, I have a stiff pain in my right side... ovulation-type pain. But I am at cd19 today. I've never had this late ovulation before.
Hormona: Holy Sausage on a Stick! I bet it is endometriosis. Or appendicitis. Ooh, it might be a tumor.
The Infertile: You aren't helping. And enough with the food references.
Hormona: Right.
The Infertile: And this morning, the temps were high. Indicating perhaps I would have already spit out a wasted egg, and yet the pain is worse.
Hormona: So what the hell is going on NOW?
The Infertile: Exactly. I guess I will call The Doctor and get to the bottom of this.
Hormona: Well, while you are trying to figure it out, I am going to be over here getting drunk and smashing up stuff, k?
The Infertile: Do whatcha gotta do.

Is it a sharp, poking pain? Could be a corpus luteum cyst, especially if your temps are staying above coverline. If your temps are wonky, you could be ovulating late. Take a look at the Wilcox study -- it demonstrates even women with regular cycles can ovulate at different times in their cycle.

Rest assured, it's too early to be pain from an ectopic. I'm voting cyst.

One thing I most definitely not worried about is ectopic. I did think about a CL cyst though. It's just so odd to have one for so long. I never even did this when I was Clomid Monster Ovulating.

Clomid Monster... another Halloween costume idea.

Cyst was my first guess. I had a cyst that ruptured apparently .. talk about being a B#$%^. Hope you get it figured out soon. Hope it's nothing major. Not like you need any more crap on your already full plate.

I'm guessing ruptured cyst too...they are a BITCH...and hurt HORRIBLY...did I mention they are a BITCH?? Take some major meds and relax (if that's what it is) OR if you o'd - better have some fun!!
