Need to share!

[thalionhiril.livejournal.com]

I've confided in this community in the past about menstrual irregularities and fear about conceiving due to PCOS, and now I'm onto a new level of confiding...

Last night I took a pregnancy test, after two negative ones taken about a week ago.  Something still felt off... and it was positive.  I took another one this morning, and still positive ;) I am still in shock... I have been functioning under the belief that getting pregnant would be impossible or nearly so, so I honestly still don't believe this is actually happening.  I'm so afraid of false positives or early loss that I've decided not to share this with family and friends right now, but I needed to tell someone other than my partner!

And my midwife is out of town at the moment... need happy thoughts!

allegra??

[bambiblake007.livejournal.com]

hi all. i have a question.

the weather in east tenn has been relatively pleasant the last few weeks aside from the rain which comes and goes soo i decided not to take my allegra for a couple days and then idk i just kind of forgot about it all together bc my allergies werent acting up (sneezing, congestion, etc).

a few days ago i started noticing i was itching really bad. especially at nite. i looked online about wat it might be and scabies came up as the most likely cause but when i checked the images to my own skin, it didnt look the same. really i dont have any spots or rash on me just where i've been scratching soo much lately that i've caused wat looks like mosquito bites now, but i'm pretty sure arent bc it's a bit too cold for mosquitoes and i'm pretty sure that they werent there b4 i scratched and i have scratch marks too that look bad and i've actually made bleed a couple times from scratching them so much.

it only happened at nite to begin with. now i'm itching all over, no matter where i am. as i type this, i'm itching. i thought at 1st it was my nerves bc i do scratch sum when i'm really stressed out and i have been under sum stress for the last few weeks but even when i'm calm as can be and not worrying about anything i still itch. soo today i asked a pharmacist wat she thought and she said that it could be a number of things but it could be from where i've stopped taking my allegra and it's causing me to itch.

since i dont have the tale-tale signs of scables and i'm pretty sure it's not our bed (my husband aint itching) do ya'll think it could just be from my not taking allegra?? i'm planning to re-start the meds (i have a new pack somewhere) and c if it'll help, but i wanted a lil input too :)  thnx.

Hurts to sit?

[dirtywordplay.livejournal.com]

Hello all, I've had some general concerns about my reproductive health. I've posted here before about possible cysts/endometriosis due to a severely sharp pain in my pelvic area. Last month, it was the worst it's ever been, coming and going throughout roughly a 3 week period before and during my cycle. This month hasn't been as bad, it acted up just a couple of times...anyway, I just wanted that health concern to be here in case it's related to my current issue.
I just started my period yesterday, and because my cramps are so bad the first couple days, I don't use tampons but pads instead. Today, I can't even sit up straight. When I try to sit, it feels like there's a cardboard or plastic stick/tube in my vagina that is pushing against the walls. It also feels like this non-existant tube sticks out, because it hurts up by my cervix as if it's being shoved up there further. Remember, I am not using tampons. There is nothing in my vagina to be causing this.
I have had this a couple of other times, but usually just one time that I position myself wrong and I re-situate myself and it's fine. Today, I have to be in a reclined position and sitting on a pillow. Then, when I go to stand up, it feels like this non-existant tube is no longer adjusted for being straight but is curved somehow instead and it pushes on me then as well.
For information, I am a cis-female in a monogamous relationship of nearly 2 years. No STDs, no pregnancies, no hormonal birth control (we use condoms). This pain is not related to sex or over exertion as we haven't had sex in ~a week and I haven't exercised in...well...longer than that. I have taken Aleve and Tylenol and they are not even touching the pain, I have been sitting with a heating pad on my stomach for a while now, and it might be helping a little, but only until I stand up and then the pain/pressure comes back. My period is currently heavy and somewhat clotty (gross, I know, but it might be relevant), and I can feel a gush onto the pad when I cough/sneeze/laugh/stand up/etc. which is how my period has been for roughly a year now. I did try googling, but I can't find anything that seems to match.
TIA for any help :)

bleeding between cycles

[leahpopeeah.livejournal.com]

I`m pretty sure this is gonna be a cliché question, but I have to ask it.

I bleed between menstrual cycles every month. I`m not talking about ovulation-related (or maybe it is, I really don`t know), but it`s just about as heavy as my period, just with no cramps. I clot with the bleeding as well, & they`re usually about the size of a dime.

I`ve been to the OB/GYN for this twice; they found out I have a bicornuate uterus (horned, or heart-shaped, for those that don`t know), but it shouldn`t effect how I menstruate whatsoever. They couldn`t find anything else wrong, so they put me on OBC with iron (since I`m also iron-deficiency anemic) to up my levels & control my periods; didn`t work. It upped my levels, but my periods are now heavier & the bleeding in between is also heavier (& darker).

So I guess what I`m trying to ask is if anyone else has this complication? What in the living heck do you do to control this? I`ve been on other forms of birth control as well (Depo shot, other forms of OBC, even abstinence). I`m just SICK of having to wear a pad in between periods..
