THE BIG "O" AND THE BIG "C" =(*
« on: March 02, 2013, 10:42:44 AM »
I've been really stressed and upset lately.  I have severe OCD, am in therapy, and on meds for it....but certain things have been going on in my life that have really gotten to me this week.  My therapist thinks this has inflamed my OCD but I think I REALLY have Ovarian Cancer....here is why.....

2 days ago I went to the ob for a routine pap, and BOTH by ovaries were tender when pressed on.  She confirmed I was ovulating.  I thought you only get sore one one side since you only "O" from one side.  I'm not sore anymore but I think I feel the need to oee more and I think I feel a heaviness in my bladder, like the sensation when you have to pee..but don't...but very slight......hard to explain.  It's very low, doesn't hurt, more or less just a feeling...I can't tell.  I know pelvic diccomfort is a sign of Ovarian Cancer as well as urniary issues.

I am 30, no history of Cancers and my dad is a sono tech...less than a year ago I believe he did a full sono because I was worrying again about who knows what....but things could have happened since then.

Dh is a doctor and is not worried, but he is prob desensitized to all my worrying.  I really hope I'm not dying.  I have two beautiful girls who I would miss very much.  My CBT therapist wants me to resist going for a sono because it will vallidate OCD which will cause my attack to last longer.  This could be OCD...but it could be OVARIAN CANCER....how does everyone know it's not?  I'm having symptoms of it?  I think they are taking a risk by telling me not to get tests!

............and I'm worrying about my yuongest having Leukemia.  She is very petite ..and then, just as I was thinking it, something came up on  tv about someone's child having Leukemia.  I felt like it was a sign.  Why does stuff like this always happen?

I wish I could enjoy life and not fear...........I dont want to think anymore

how many of your other DISEASE fears have come to fruition?

you know the answer here.  you know it is your anxiety doing this.  So if you want, go get the US.  I mean it is your body.  it is your own mental health.  But ask yourself when does any med test actually work, for long or at all or do you discount most med testing.  What you decide to do will not impact any of us here.  Those that pay for all of this is you and your hubs and your kids....

MOST anxiety happens at the subconscious level.  JUST because you don't feel consciously anxious or had a day or two of calm doesn't mean your mind & body are relaxed.  It can take months of reduced anxiety before a body goes back to a more non-reactive state.

Hi there,
When I ovulate I have back, pelvic discomfort and pain on both side. It's called mittelschmerz. I have also had ultrasounds and they all came back normal. The older you get the more you body changes .. I'm 35 and boy has my body changed since I was in my twenties and had kids!
Good luck! I think you're fine
