Have you had a physical check-up lately?
Well, yesterday - I went to the doctor for my yearly physical check-up - you know, the usual - they draw blood to check your cholesterol and stuff - also the dreaded pap smear- YUCK! I hate that - but .... you gotta do it. Well, after that not so plesant experience ... the doctor tells me that I need to have some other test taken - a pelvic ultra sound ... and something else I can not pronounce or spell cause after her interviewing me about my period and other medical stuff - she thinks there might be something weird going on in my ovaries - sounds scary! *sigh*
I scheduled for the ultrasound but it won't be for another 2 weeks so ... we'll see how that turns out. In the mean time - I feel fine just a bit anxious.
I thought I'd post this here as a reminder for you moms ... not to forget to go for those yearly check-ups. We need to take care of ourselves so we can better care for our family.
When was your last physical exam?

Marie I don't want to answer your question on the ground that I may incriminate myself :(
I go yearly in October then every 6months for a well boob check ;)
Maria - I went last month and had the same experience as you. I had to go back for an ultrasound because something was wierd with my ovaries.
Well, it turns out I have a cyst on my left ovary. I've been having slight pain in that area and I thought it was my c-section scar. I'd even mentioned it to my doctor. Apparently the pain is from the cyst. It's only a couple centimeters large.
I have to go back in early June for another ultrasound to see if it's grown. And then we'll discuss next steps at that point. My doctor says not to worry - many cyst of this type come and go. I'm praying that mine will be one of those come and go types and that it will be gone my June.
