So tomorrow morning I go in for an ultrasound of my ovaries to check for the possibility of cysts that could indicate PCOS. Just more hormone checking I guess. The pathetic thing is that I'm more anxiety ridden over going through the ultrasound process (ON MY UNPREGNANT BELLY!!) than I am about the potential of having the incurable PCOS. The thought of laying there with my belly exposed going through the same routine I've gone through when there was a baby in there, except that now I'll get to see that for sure there isn't one in there...well, its just one more reminder that I'm no longer pregnant...and to go along with the birth control I've recently started to use to help regulate my hormones (with the horrifying side effect of baby prevention!!)...well, lets just say its a wonderful little reminder of what is no longer, what isn't currently, and what won't be for a positive minimum of three months while trying to straighten out my hormones. Ooh yay! Hello Monday.

I know how you feel. I had to do an US a month ago to check for cysts or fibroids and it just didn't seem the same being there. Hope tomorrow is one of those days that we work ourselves up for and end up not being as bad as we thought. You will be in my prayers.
Exactly. At the ultrasound I had to check my fibroids I barely looked. Same room, a sonographer who remembered me...
Hope the answers are good.

I totally know how you feel. Once a bad experience in the ultrasound, always a bad experience - at least that's how our minds look at things, I'm pretty sure. I think your anxiety makes perfect sense. Best of luck with this exam. Deep breathing exercises beforehand, maybe? A shot of tequilla? ;-)
Go with the tequila! ;) I was dx w PCOS after my son was born, before my twins that I lost. 7 mo.s of meds (hat can't be taken while pregnant :( ) along with exercise and diet changes got my insulin back under control (I think, I have to go get re-checked again in Jan). I kow what you mean about the birth contrl for your hormones, I cant try again until Dec. b/c of the c-cest and blood loss...which I am ambivalent about right now.
I hope you get through today OK, will be thinking of you.
Just a note... I have PCOS and my u/s have never been abdominal ones. They are always vaginal ones. I was taken aback for the first one, where I was diagnosed, because I'd never had a vag u/s before.
I hope you have a good appt and no PCOS diagnosis!
with the US for PCOS, is it a general US on the tummy?
