Don, oh how I’ve missed you! April 20, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Nance , trackbackSo I am back from the doctor’s. Miss me?
I forget, but part of me is pretty sure it was T-shaped Girl who coined the phrase "Don Wand" for the trans vaginal ultrasound. Oh yeah, good old Don. When going through infertility, Don and I were buddies. Good buddies. We met on a frequent basis checking for follicles and uterine linings.
Today, Don was looking for, well, something. Other than the fact that Lefty is 1 cm larger than Righty, and I have some free floating fluid hanging around Lefty, everything looks good. Don was thorough and took time. He can even do Doppler now to check for blood flow. The tech was careful to check all around Lefty for tumors by looking for abnormal blood flow. And she told me what she was doing. I love this place.
Nothing was out of place, not the unspoken "C" that I was starting to worry about. That is good, but we are no closer to understanding the pain. My gyn wants me to chart the pain and keep track of it. She wants me to call anytime I feel that I need to. She will get me in ASAP like she did today. She was concerned, but she is now confused.
Hey, what is life, if not a mystery.
Thanks for the good thoughts!

What a relief, but I’m sure you were hoping for an answer! At least it sounds like you’re in good hands!
Don Wand — that’s a good one. Went a few rounds with that guy myself…
Glad they didn’t find any of the biggees, but know how frustrating it is not to get an answer. Sending good thoughts.
Whew! Glad they didn’t find anything major. Hope it turns out to be something easy to deal with. Hugs!
Confused sounds MUCH better than concerned.
Hopefully they’ll figure it out soon and you can send good ole Don back to the closet.
Sorry I was out of touch - I would have sent a joke on the previous post… but internet in China was so darn spotty - I couldn’t follow all the blogs that I normally read.
I’m glad you got no bad news. But I know how much it sucks to not get any hard news. That nagging “what is it” feeling is really frustrating.
Here’s a suggestion… have you seen someone with a totally different perspective? Like an acupuncture specialist? I had traditional medicine fight against my headaches and migraines for a dozen years or more with more or less zero results. And since I get regular acupuncture I have had two migraines in three years. Amazing.
I’m late on this one, but I’m glad to hear it’s nothing serious. (And “Don Wand” cracked me up.) I hope you get a definitive answer soon!
BTW, I’ve had pretty significant ovulation pain all my life — well, all my ovulating life — but it seems to have settled on my right side over the last few years. I suspect the left-hand Egg-o-Matic has gone offline.
