I have my "fertility" appointment today. I will have an ultrasound (internal? external? I have no clue) and then meet with some male doctor I have never met to go over my Day 3, Day 21 bloodtests and the findings of the ultrasound.

DH switched days with BM so the skids won't be around and he can come with me.

I am really scared. I have wretched monthly cycles and a lot of left side pain. I don't want to find out there is something seriously wrong or that bio kids will never be an option for me. I tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac and medical appointments have always gotten me all worked up.

Just figured I would vent it out here and hopefully my day at work will go by quickly so I can get this over with.

sounds normal for some one who never had kids..... oh and all of this shit happens again when you hit menopause...

holding thumbs that you can calm down, simply relax AJ, no need in chasing your blood pressure sky high.

nice of DH to go with you....

Ajanie, do you have left side pain every month or every other month? If it's every other month, you might have "mittelschmerz". That is German for "middle pain" and occurs during ovulation. I've had mittelschmerz on my left side all of my life.

Best of luck to you, sweetie!!

I do think it is mostly mitterlschmerz... however the last 6 months or so the pain is radiating down my legs and lasting more than a couple days :?

Thank you, Aniki
