Eurgh. I've got that sharp pain again. It's about 4 finger widths to the right of my belly button and only if I press down. I don't think it's anything to do with my lady bits but not sure what it is. I was thinking maybe IBS because I'm never "normal" I'm either blocked up or got the runs. Also before I blacked out both times I got a sharp pain in my stomach. Anybody familiar with IBS?
Hm, do you still have your appendix? That's the area the appendix is, if you still have one, and so it could be appendicitis. I'd call the doctor to be safe, if you still have your appendix.
That's also where an ovary is, so it could be an ovarian cyst. I'd get that checked out too (with an ultrasound).
Or it could be gass trapped in the colon or even a blockage. A blockage you'd want to get checked out and dealt with.
I have a funky colon that is just at the IBS stage right now (but could turn into colitis or even ulcerative colitis if I didn't take care of myself, but that's not typical for those with IBS) and I've gotten sharp gas pains before in that area, but they've always been spontaneous and come and go, I can't recall one I had to press to activate. I've gotten dull pains there from a merely swollen ovary or a frizzly (aggravated) colon, though. And I got both sharp and dull searing pain there when I had a large ovarian cyst.
Anytime I hear of sharp abdominal pain followed by blacking out, I think better safe than sorry and get checked out at the hospital (where they are better at evaluating appendicitis, should be able to figure out if you have a blockage, and have an ultrasound to check on the possibility of an ovarian cyst). When I had my large ovarian cyst, right before starting TTC, I had pain where you did (it was level 10 and all the time though) and went to the hospital to be safe (I was primarily worried about appendicitis at the time). They couldn't do anything but give me pain meds and have me wait and see if the cyst shrunk and get rechecked by my gyno after a week or two, but if it hadn't shrunk I'd have needed to have it drained, so it's best to know (and it's best to rule out appendicitis and colon blockage).

Review of doc apts:
Dietition: said I am doing SO well considering we have had lots of halleween parties. And coached me through how to handle the holidays. Also she wants to look up good cakes to bake for my shower that would be good for me and the guests.
Pediatrician meet/greet: AWESOME! LOVED HER!
OBGYN: She said I was doing AWESOME with the GD. Baby is not measuring 30 weeks when she is 29. She did say since I have 3 herniated disks right where they do the epidural that I might not be allowed to have one but that it will be just find. But she wants me to talk with an anthologist. She said baby is HEAD DOWN ALREADY!
Baby shower is 1 week from saturday! Cant wait! However, just got our first baby shower gift from a family member that can't make the shower... got a baby boppy and cover... LOVE IT! Getting excited to use it with Alia!
Glad things are going so well for you!
Nichole, beautiful prog. numbers!!
Nikki, your baby shower!!!! How exciting!!!
Afm, looks like, for the first time ever, I made it. I am going all the way to 12dpo without testing. I will test in about 8-9 hours! I'll also be calling to get my testosterone and 7dpo prog. results tomorrow. Praying a little harder tonight.
I'm surprisingly calm, thank God.
Good job!!
And yay, for peace, thanks be to God!
And hm, I think I might see a line on that test but it's hard to tell...FX'd for a more conclusive test with a BFP next time you test!
Kia- Actually yesterday was a really good day. Even went to Red Robin with DH and had a burger.. So I'm hoping by some miracle my sickness is over! LOL.
Marie - FX!!
FX'd for no more morning sickness for you!

AFM: So far, no bad AF cramps.
I've had some cramps, but haven't had to take pain meds or even use a heating pad, which is esp unusual for heavy bleeding, but hey, I'll take it! Bleeding has gone down to medium, thankfully. Still getting some nasty clots though.
I'm thinking about calling the RE and asking if I could have a clotting problem and if I should take baby aspirin (for those who take it, when do you take it?).
DH was sad that AF came, but he handled it pretty well. He's confident it will happen, but he's getting tired of it not happening (aren't we all)!
Gotta pick up my femara rx today and start taking it again for 5 days tomorrow.
