I had my appointment for 3:30 today and so did hubby. lol Hubby's check up was GREAT! His bp was 139/85 and he doesn't have to go back for 4 months! He really is doing much better. My update: The dr told me that they found a fibroid on my uterus, they did not say which side it was on but it is 2cm. There is a cyst in my endometrial stripe region. She said that I would have back pain as well with this and I told her that is what brought me to her. lol She hadn't looked at my chart because she wasn't sure if she was going to charge me or not for the visit. After she opened my chart, she realized I was having pain in back and front. lol She then gave me 800mg of Ibuprofen. I am to start taking it 2 days before my period so I will not have as much pain and it is suppose to ease the flow some (praying on that). She said I am going to be watched for now. I go in 4 months for another pap and if I am bleeding too much or am in TOO much pain, I need to go in and see her sooner and then she will refer me to the GYN. Keep in mind this is a regular dr, not a OB/GYN so I am getting good care from a straight dr. lol Just wanted to let you all know what the dr said and what is going on for now. She said she could recommend me birth control pills as that is what they usually do and I said no. I explained why and she understood. The dr I go to is with Daughter's of Charity (Catholic), so she could not prescribe any, but she was going to tell me where to go if I wanted to do that. lol Thanks for all the prayers, so far they worked. :) ~Icy~

I am glad that it was not anything more serious. I need to get my butt to the doctor sometime soon. I have been having my period every 2 weeks for the past 3 or 4 years with the exception of the time that I was pregnant with my daughter.

Thank you lilybug. You need to make an appointment ASAP! That is not a good thing and a cyst and fibroids can cause problems with your period. So please get checked out real soon. Have a great 4th ~Icy!

Well, at least it wasn't completely bad news and the 800 mg ibuprofen will help, I have taken it many times for pain.. Hope things work out for the best for you.. My hubby's visit wasn't as successful, he may have to have a knee replacement if the other options don't work for him.. But we will see.. Good luck to you and everyone will keep praying for you.. Have a great day.. ~Donna~

Hi Donna, Thank you. I hope the other options work for your husband so he doesn't have to have surgery. Big Hugs ~Icy~
