Worst Day EVER.

[PrettyFx]

Hey ladies

as most of you will know I'm now 19 days late, I had some pain yesterday in my left ovary, so I was taken to A&E, where they did blood & urine tests, which were both negative. They also did a scan (not properly might I add) which she said she couldnt see anything from.

I had the worst experience in the gynea ward. The Doctor who saw me to do my internal examination, (I have never had one before) was the biggest bitch. I was so nervous, hence was extremely tense, she wasnt helping by telling me (WHILST SHE WAS PUTTING THE CAMERA INSIDE ME) that I wasnt being very helpful and she needed to do this quickly, AND then had the nerve to question me whether I had ever had sex before?!

I didn't take any of it, I said to her "what do you mean have i ever had sex before? your the doctor, it doesnt take a bloody biologist to work out that the reason I'm here is because I have had sex and think I may be pregnant, YOUR the one making me feel uncomfortable" I said so much more and she was so apologetic, I let her carry on but was actually crying in pain, and she was rather annoyed, so she told me she had seen what she had to see and was done, then when she took the camera out she said "i didnt see what i needed to see" she was so confused, hence the reason why i was even more nervous.

She prescribed me norethisterone, which I'm not going to take because I know so many ladies who have been in my predicament and have been pregnant, I know I'm not pregnant, but I wouldn't like to take the risk, and its probably better to come on naturally.

Anyway I cried so much after and I really felt like a failure, there could be anything wrong with me, I'm not conceiving clearly, and I will never know if there is anything wrong with me because now Im shit scared of a fucking examination! URGH

Im sorry for the rant guys, I just needed to tell someone who knew what I was going through

So sorry prettyFX. I hope you are feeling a bit better hun, that DR sounds like a right piece of work, you should make a complaint about that. Dr's shouldnt be allowed to act that way and get away with that.

I guess that its good that they didnt see anything wrong on the scan though. What is that medication they gave you? i it to bring on your period? hope you are OK hun.

[Drummers_wife]

PrettyFx, please please put in a complaint about her- clearly she should not be allowed to speak to ppl and "care" for possible expectant mothers cos she clearly doesnt "care" at all!!!
being a nurse i would be mortified if any of my patients felt that way about me- you can contact your PALS (Patients advisory liason service) at your hospital - they are used to dealing with things like this so dont be scared!!

i really hope you get some anwers of your own either a very shy bfp or af so you have closure x x

Hey pretty

So so sorry you had such an awful experience & as Nurse said I would complain, these are people that are supposed to help you

With regards to the medication it's to help bring on your period

[maybe baby]

Sorry you had such a crappy time Hun.

Hope you get an answer either way soon.

I would complain too.

Sorry you had such a bad experience, I would go to your gp and explain the experience you had, say you would like a "proper" referral to a consultant who should be a lot more understanding

 

[dita_parlo]

Sorry you had to experience this. I would definitely mention something, it's understandably a nervous thing to go through (I was terrified of my first smear test) and I would really expect a bit more understanding than what that woman showed you. She is in a caring profession and should show a bit more bloody care! xxx

 

[PrettyFx]

Thanks guys for the support you've shown, if only that doctor could have been more supportive. I am slightly concerned, but I don't know whether to just let it go naturally and see what happens or to press forward.

I am in the process of registering with a GP, so when I find out whether I have been accepted or not I will hopefully make an appointment and explain everything to him/her.

I have a feeling i might have PCOS, or a cyst, or maybe just a cycle without ovulation. Have any of you experienced a similar thing?

AND have any of u had an internal ultrasound? what was it like for u? I felt like I needed to wee lol!

[Nurse 26]

Hey hun, i used to have long and irregular cycles, went through a phase of them last year, and when i look back although i didnt feel stressed at the time i think it was down to stress.

I have had a couple of internal scans, they were ok, just a bit uncomfortable. I think its a good sign that they didnt find anything on your internal scan, they can see if you have PCOS from scan, they showed me my ovaries on the scan, they get a good veiw from internal scan.

 

[PrettyFx]

Hey nurse 26

she didnt get a good view of anything because she pulled the thing out as I was in too much discomfort. What would you advise? xxx

 

[Princess81]

I have had a couple of internals. Once by a consultant when it was discovered that I had PCOS and the second last week when I had my m/c. I'll be honest its not the most pleasant experience, the first one was better than the second because the second was for m/c I was already in pain. I would say the cirumstances under which you had your internal were not ideal. I think if you are going in for a planned one you will be a lot more relaxed about it and it will be a better experience for you and they might be able to find out some more xx

 

[PrettyFx]

Thankyou princes. I am sorry to hear about your mc. I wish you the best of luck for the future. I hope you dont mind me asking, but what were your symtoms?. x

 

[Princess81]

My only symptoms of PCOS were that I did not have an AF. I came off the pill in January 2010 and did not have a period so went to the Dr's after a few months and then got referred to my specialist and then I had my scan which revealed PCOS and a tumour on my left ovary. I had ovarian drilling in Dec and the tumour removed via keyhole. 2 weeks later I got pregnant but lost at 6+1.

 

[PrettyFx]

oh goodness. im so very sorry to hear that. I pray you get your BFP soon.

I'm also now wondering that I havent had a period, so it could be due to pcos, I guess the only thing I can do is wait and see if my next period comes or not. This it the first time im saying this, but I bloody well wish my period would just come! urgggh x

 

[Princess81]

Are you normally quite regular? Cos if you are then I doubt that you have it to be honest. The first signs I got of a period after taking my pill was 9 months later and that was just for a few hours. You really need to speak to your GP whenever you are registered I guess x

 

[PrettyFx]

Well up untill about 5 months ago, I did get a period every month, its hard to tell how regular or long my cycle was because I never knew how to add it all up, I think, from what I remember, I came on every month a little later than the last month, so eventually it would end up at the begining of the month if that makes sense. But when I got married my periods came at the 22nd every month, untill this month.. x

 

[Young Mum 21 x]

omg what a bitch!! you should defo put a complaint in :O hope u get some answers soon!!xx

 

[Princess81]

Not sure what to suggest hun, maybe try Agnus castus? It's supposed to be good for regulating cycles a bit x

 

[PrettyFx]

Thanks princess & young mum. Your support and advice is amazing.

xx

Hey pretty fx Grrrrrr this has made me so upset and angry!!
I know I would have been terrified of an internal examination, I hate smear tests, let alone the thought of anything else. How much pressure she must have put you under, telling you she needed to do it quickly. An utter disgrace.
