I finally made it to Planned Parenthood, no insurance :( Well though I don't believe I got a real good answer she said suspects PCOS...but didn't say much more about it. I do plan to get insurance soon, so I can be looked at in a better way to see if this is really it or not. I don't see how she could come up with that with just this one exam. She acted strangly when she was feeling my abdomen, and kept going up higher until past midway to my belly button. She didn't say anything but it was like she couldn't find my uterus or something, I never had someone go that high up on an exam before.
My problem is the pain I have been having, its an off and on thing, but becoming more and more frequent. I feel like AF is on the way, with them kind of cramps (for me there different than the ones I get with AF) and having low back pain that goes into my hip and thigh. Sometimes the crampy feel seems to one side more than the other, but switches and does both at the same time. I had everything checked today, no infections, PAP is normal, urine is normal. But this pain keeps getting worse, I think I may end up at the ER one of these days, almost did tonight in fact. But after 1200mg of Motrin it let up enough to bear. I just don't know what this pain could be from. Any ideas out there?
Anything will be appretiated. I just don't know what to think anymore...sometimes I swear I'm pregnant even after the exam, it seems she would have felt it if I was...

Sorry you havent been getting responses. I have a question about your cycles. Do you know for sure that you have been ovulating? And also how far apart are your periods?

Did the Dr. do an LH test to see if you are ovulating? What did they say about your periods only being one day at a time? How long have you been TTC?

What is PCOS? It sucks not having ins. I didn't have any for 2 years until my Husband entered the military. Thats part of the reason we waited to try. If I would have known it was going to take this long I would have started trying sooner. I have been to Planned Parenthood and they are not the most "understanding" people like a family Dr. They just want to get you in and out and on with the next person. I hope you can get to a better Dr. soon.
