Uh Oh

I don't know if I'm overreacting or not, but I've been feeling pelvic pain here recently.  It's not the dull ache that made me feel like I was going to barf and made me drink until I fell asleep so I didn't have to feel it.  It's the sharp pain that happened when I would get up quickly or sneeze.
I was getting into bed last night and when I moved a certain way I had to double over.  I couldn't sleep because I was freaking out.
The estrogen level I'm on right now has really helped my hot flashes and night sweats, and I don't want to decrease it.

It may just be that my back is really hurting, so I try to compensate by using other muscles.  Maybe I'm just pulling those muscles too much.  I reaaally hope that's all it is.
I remember pulling that muscle when I started Farrell's Extreme Body Shaping while doing sit ups and the pain was excruciating for a couple of weeks.

I don't want to say anything to my doctor.  I don't think there's anything he can do besides lessen the estrogen.  Put me on more progesterone maybe?
The only way they can know for sure is to do another laparoscopy, and I'm not particularly keen on that.

I need to get my blood taken here soon so they can check my estrogen levels again.  I'll probably say something to him then about it.  See if he can increase the progesterone and/or testosterone.  I don't know.

The other reason I don't want to decrease the estrogen dose is, DUH, my weight.  I've been sitting here missing my cheekbones and collar bones.  They used to be amazing.  Hopefully someday they will be again.

I'm still wanting a lap band,  just FYI.
I'm biding my time.  I'm biding the shit out of it.

  1. I'm going to pull a Sara here and say you should tell your doctor about it. How long until you get your blood check?
