What An Incredibly Stressful Morning

Today, I was introduced to the joy of an abdominal ultrasound.

You know, the ones where you have to drink a bunch of liquid and then can't go to the bathroom until after the ultrasound? Oh my mercy. That was excruciating. See, I KNOW that taking birth control must've shrunk my bladder to the size of a small pea anyway, so I didn't even drink the required amount. Good thing, too, because by the time the lady came to get me, I was feeling a cold sweat coming on. I get on the table, she puts the wand to my abdomen, and says, "Oh, my! Guess I'd better hurry, huh? I'll try not to press too hard." Uh, thanks. Mercifully, the ultrasound was short and she finally let me go to the bathroom (!!) before the internal ultrasound. I was feeling more relaxed because I felt like at least I knew what to expect from this one.

Yeah, I was wrong.

The first time I had it done, the tech barely said two words to me, other than, "Hm, I'm having a hard time seeing your left ovary here." Today, Little Miss Chatterbox proceeds to give me three mini-strokes. The first thing she says to me after she's been looking around awhile is, "Do you have a left ovary?"

WHAT?!

"Um, as far as I know."
"Oh, there it is. They just couldn't see it last time, but I see it now." *makes face* "Wow, it's REALLY close to your uterus."
*Internal conversation: Let it go. Let it go. She's just the tech, she won't tell you anything. Oh, forget this. I have to know.* "Is....is that bad?"
"No, no, it's fine. I'm just surprised they didn't see it before because it's right there at it." *exhale deeply*

She finally leaves so that I can get dressed in peace. I'm trying to walk calmly out the door (instead of running at full speed, which is what I really want to do), when I hear her call my name, beckoning me into her little office.

Where they look at the ultrasound pictures. Dun dun DUNNNNN.

"When's the last time you had a period?" Again, WHAT?! So I answer her, and she seems satisfied, and sends me on my way. But now, I'm dying to know--did she SEE something? They didn't need to know any of that at my last appointment. Even if by some small chance I was pregnant, I wouldn't even be four weeks until tomorrow, so I highly doubt that she'd be able to see anything on the ultrasound. Did she see some blockage that makes her think maybe I haven't had a period in awhile? Some dark spot, some mass?

WHAT DID SHE SEE?! AHHHHHH!
