Well I can imagine that was a shock especially given no other issues. It’s a good job you were on the ball and got it checked. Hopefully it’s something they can put right when they debulk you (what a word!) and get the lot out. The sooner the better and no doubt you are counting down the days to the op (although not in an excited way, there is bound to be trepidation and worry).
Glad you a supportive family. You are bound to be tired - both physically and mentally with everything that’s going on. Do what you need to do and let everyone else pick up the reins during this time. It’s really all about you taking extra care of yourself right now.
Your fear is completely normal. No doubt it’s ten times worse in the early hours. That’s when we overthink and stuff goes round and round. If you’re feeling snappy that’s also very understandable.
Gosh, yes fancy it doing that to your ovary. It’s crazy to think it didn’t give you pain. Maybe they are flexible. I don’t have any pain on my right whatsoever. Was very surprised at the result but not with the womb. That’s where I feel the pain is but if it’s got fibroids in it that would give off pelvic pain.
With yourself just having bowel / stomach upset and nothing else you would kind of ‘expect’ IBS. No wonder everything is a shock!
I’ve got endometriosis so I’ve put everything down to that. I’ve been trying to ride it out until menopause so I’ve had pain for a while and endo flare ups. This pain has been different. Can’t explain it. Plus the needing a wee has got ridiculous. It’s become a party trick. I can do it on demand!
I expected for the endo to have grown on my bladder. I wasn’t expecting them to have found so much stuff. I’ve had bladder scans first. All clear. Glad I went back with the pelvic pain now though.
I can usually tell when I’ve got cysts. I’ve had about 5 official ones and one that was a worry but was ok in the end. I guess this mass isn’t coming up clear on ultrasound. The symptoms could relate to literally anything they have found. It seems endo, fibroids and endometrionas all give off the same things!
As for being snappy, I am just annoyed with the pain interfering with my plans. Then having to ask my family to do things which isn’t done to how I like it or want it. I’m definitely menopausal though so exploding more where I might have had more tolerance. I have horses at home so they require a lot of physical work.
Do try a PM. I’ve not done one before. I’m happy to chat if we can figure it out! Take care. Eat cake. You deserve it!
