He lived out of town, and so i only saw him once a month. So the following month when it happened again, I again ignored it, because i also had been checked for STD's just 3 months previously, so i knew it wasn't that. However, the 3rd time it happened, i made an appointment with my then gynocologist. I started feeling heaviness in my uterus, throbbing pain almost constantly, and terrible pain during sex. So my gyno had suggested i be tested for bacterial vaginosis, which i have had before so then i thought " yea that must be it" and he treated me for it with antibiotics while i waited on the results. Well, the antibiotics didnt seems to be helping, and when i got my results, i was negative for bacterial vaginosis. The following month (September) i had an appointment to be tested for interstitial cystitis, which i was also negative for. I had had enough tho. I was sick of being in pain. I demanded an ultrasound ( the ultrasounds were performed there at the office). I told my gyno the pain was just too much to take, and i felt like he was thinking i was making up my pain to get narcotics. I didn't leave the office, i waited about 3 hours, it was close to closing time, and then the ultrasound tech agreed to check me out. She found a cyst 3.5 cm. So my gyno came in and said that it shouldn't be bothering me but since i have had pain for, at that moment in time, 4 months, he said he would remove the cyst laproscopically. I was relieved. Finally, i was going to get rid of this pain. October 2011 i went in for surgery, and when i woke up he had discouraging news. He didn't find the cyst (sadness), he said perhaps it had burst prior to surgery. He removed my filshie clips that were ironically, placed in October 2010 ( is that the correct use if "ironic" or did i pull an alanis?). (HAPPINESS), but he informed me and my boyfriend that since the clips had been there for a year, there was scar tissue, and removing them was not the same as a reversal surgery (sadness). He said he removed them because the clips have been known to cause pain in some women, so hopefully i would feel better once i healed from the surgery. The following month, at my followup appointment, i told my gyno, not only was i not feeling better, i was feeling worse. He was very sympathetic when he said he was sorry he didn't have any other ideas or options, other than a hysterectomy (SUPERSADNESS!). I immediately broke down into tears and begged him to please help me. There was nothing he could do he said, maybe i needed to try all my other options, seeing a gastroenterologist to eliminate every possibilty before i made the decision about my uterus. I then moved in with my boyfriend, and began searching for a gastroenterologist. So January and February 2012 consisted of appointments with the gastro dr, and i had an Upper GI endoscopy and a colonoscopy. Nothin. The gastro dr did say he did detect a cyst in my uterus/ovary area, and he referred me to an Ob/Gyn. So it was the beginning of march 2012 i met with her and that was my last visit to see her. She was totally robotic and cold. She Was very rough during the examination, and i even began crying after she was done with me. She said she didn't understand if a hysterectomy would make me feel better, then why wont i do the procedure. I told her i wanted to have a reversal,
