lol...that's what it felt like...blah...after several minutes of uncomfortably probing and a lot of apologies from the young doctor that tried to do this procedure on me today...he announced that he'd never encountered anything like it but he couldn't get the little tubey thing inserted...he said it is probably a weird angle thing or something. So he called my doctor to see if she could come over...she couldn't and I later saw why, but I'll get to that in a minute, and that they said to call her later and that they were going to get me an appointment at the big hospital in the Ville where an actual obgyn performs the procedure....so as I'm getting dressed after the failure I start to tear up and of course I'm just thinking the worse thoughts...ugh...
so I get a hold of myself and walk over to my doctors office....I was greeted with a completely full waiting room...there were literally 3 seats vacant and that was it! Anyway, so the receptionist and nurse talk to me and they had made me another appointment for tomorrow in the Ville...tomorrow is horrible because it's criminal court day and although I know they can get along without me...I feel responsible to be there and also it makes my life easier if I sit in court because I stay in the loop of what's going on in all the cases, so that later when someone says, why did we do this with so and so, I can fill in the blanks...lol
anyways...so I called the hospital and they can get me in on Friday instead so cool beans...
so I'm just trying to not jump to the worst possible conclusions from all this...I stopped over and talked to mom after and she said I bet you have a tilted uterus...I didn't know there was such a thing but she said it's very common...so I WebMd'd it and 40% of women have a tilted uterus...
also, the doctor was young...so maybe inexperienced? I don't know...He kept apologizing and asking me how I felt while he was probing me...and I was thinking...umm...can't you pretend I'm not here? I'm pretending you're not here...lol
so anyways...that was my day...I was too distracted to go back to work today...plus, they weren't expecting me so wouldn't it just be silly to show up there? lol actually, I have a yuck headache and I just don't feel fabulous...I'm sure it's sinus related because of this hokey weather...
well I need to go feed my doggies...have a lovely evening!

Sister....I have been praying for you all day...and I know how scary that must've been....I also went on WebMD to look at stuff about tilted uterus.....so, if that is all it was...it sounds like that isn't a big deal! ANd...it definitely could've just been an inexperienced doctor too.....don't panic yet!!!!
I was cracking up when you were wondering if he could just pretend you weren't there....I know that isn't fun!!!! Just imagine...I had an INTERNAL ultrasound....that wasn't pleasant AT ALL. But the things we have to do as a woman!!!
Love ya...and praying for ya!!!
I can't believe he talked to you! I would have been like "Hi, you've got your hand in places that only my husband and my OB/GYN goes....don't talk to me"!!! LOL!
I bet that the doctor is just young and inexperienced! Don't worry....but I know that it's hard to do! Prayers for Friday!!!!! You'll do fine!!
Lots of Love!
I know I haven't posted here before but I am Angela Scott and Missy's friend from church...my hubby walked down the aisle in their wedding with Mandy...I also had a tilted uterus. It made for super uncomfortable ob/gyn appts. My doc told me at my first one before Baby and I were even married. It straightened out when I got pregnant with Pretty. I know it sounds weird, but my ob said it wasn't anything to be worried about, the man's little guys can still find the way. LOL
Just thought some reassurance from someone who was in your boat would help.
Praying,
Angela
I have a tilted uterus too! Man, we should get together! ha ha. My doctor didn't mention it to me until my first exam when I found out I was pregnant. It made for a VERY uncomfortable exam! I feel your pain! I also understand about the whole "pretending he's not there" feeling. Don't they get it that we don't look forward to these types of things????? Anyway, praying all goes well on Friday. It seems like a big pain (literally) right now, but it's so worth it in the end! Take care!
Sister...when I had my ultrasound..they did an internal one too....that was really strange...but it was cool to see all that stuff...like mom said..until you actually see your insides, you feel like...what if I'm deformed in some way or something
thank you all soooo much for all the prayer and support....I really feel like I have this little support group...and knowing that you've all been here...that's just a relief...
thank you so much!
I wish I'd gotten on here last evening to read your update!! I was out of the house on my way to F by then, though...
LOL, I TOTALLY understand about seeing your insides & wondering if you're (like in me) deformed!! LOL At my first gyno apt. ever (right before I got married) I was so nervous about that PAP, and I even asked her if I was "normal." I think she had to keep from laughing, because all she said was, "Yes!!" LOL :) She was a very nice dr. :)
Anyways, I'm sorry you have to go through that again!! It can't "feel good" (duh!!LOL) Prayers & ((((((((HUGS))))))) to you!!
