I too am out this month

Well after my doctors visit, I found out it was a BFN

, so I went out and bought some soy, to start after AF arrives. Since she still hasn't shown up. And it was a blood test, so there was no error. I was really believing this was the cycle, but I guess I was wrong. Though I did end up in the ER for extreme cramping on Saturday, and found out that I am developing Endo, which is something I really didn't want to hear. The doctors told me that after a loss your body can change in so many ways.

But at least I had my mini vacation, which really helped get my mind off of everything else.

I'm sorry to hear you are out this month. I hope that the soy does it for you.

Hugs about the BFN. That stinks.

As to the endo, the only way to diagnose it is through surgery. Did they do a lap on you while you were there? Too many docs freak women out by throwing around the endo diagnosis after only using a ultrasound or just going off the cramps alone. Cramps could very well be caused by endo but it could be so many other things too. And it could just be a freak one time thing. Hugs. I have endo so if you do have it, I know so much about it.

Well they did a CT scan and they said that could be what it is. So I dunno. All I know is that i'm in a ton of pain and they don't even seem to care.

You need to push for a lap. It could be cysts, it could be endo, it could be scar tissue from the ectopic. If it is endo, the soy will do more harm then good. Soy aggravates endo because it is a phytoestrogen. You should talk to your ob about finding the source of your pain. And if that doc isn't interested in helping you, find another. Constant pain isn't normal. And surgery does help endo. Either way, you need to know what you're dealing with. A ct scan can in no way diagnose endo. Not one bit. I don't even know why they would think endo after a ct. Any doctor worth their salt should know that. Makes me mad that they are giving you the run around! Be your own advocate and push for answers. I have had to do that myself and while I hate feeling whiny, it's YOUR body and YOUR life and the doctors you see are hired by you to help you. Hugs!
