You make me feel like an Unlucky Woman
Monday, March 26, 2007
So I saw this Head Nurse today at my OB GYN's clinic (my OB is on vacation as well as the other Nurse Practitioner I saw). As scheduled, she was to check if my white blood count had gone down after my 10-day dosage of antibiotics. I kind of already knew that it hadn't because I had quite a scary episode yesterday.
In the middle of doing the groceries yesterday, I felt the need to poo-poo. But right when I was rushing to the women's room, I felt an ooze coming out from my little Lotus flower. As I sat down to start my prayers, I saw this rather big plop of discharge with blood in it AGAIN. Or it could just be the uterine lining, I wasn't sure. And since I make it a point to bring extra undies, I was able to slip in to fresh ones. "How timely", I thought, "since I'm going to the clinic tomorrow." Time to have a serious talk with the docky or nurse-y. I was also smart enough to take a picture of my unpleasant discharge just ENCASED.
So after she told me that the WBC count in my discharge was still high, she seemed pretty sure my cervix is either inflamed or just infected. Also, the second she took a look at the pic I took yesterday, she immediately thought that I maybe passed a polyp. Yes, a polyp. The very thing I got rid of during my D&C just January of last year. Apparently, they regrow as soon as they want to and there's no stopping them. They are benign, will not grow into tumors or cancers or anything. They're just... THERE. It is not common but it's not rare either. SOME WOMEN JUST HAVE IT, SOME DON'T. Man, I hated this particular piece of factoid because I just felt like one unlucky woman. Why did I have to belong to this category?? NGERRRR!!! Also, she took a blood sample to see if I am pregnant or was EVER pregnant. The test came out negative as I expected but at least the possibility of that discharge being a miscarriage puss was out of the way. So she's going to talk to Dr. Bishop and let her call me and possibly schedule a hysteroscopy again to check if I've indeed regrown my polyps.
I would've slacked off with this issue if Joen and I haven't been planning on starting a family after we buy the house. But since we are, I need to get every issue out of the way and that includes having a healthy, clean, uninfected cervix and uterus. I really am so unlucky. =(((
