    I was thinking last night that it's nothing but now...I am awake and scared half to death. My stomach is in knots and is starting to hurt because of nerves.

    i have to really start chugging water around 1:15pm and not go to the bathroom...my appointment is at 2:45 and I have to be there at 2:30.

    THANKFULLY my husband is going to be going wtih me and that eases some of the nerves but still scared shitless and really really nervous. Don't even know if I'll even be able to eat because of my nerves. sad hmm

          don't assume the worst..

          often it is the anxiety of worry that gets us more ill than the results of the tests themselves

          its common for white blood cell count to be high if your fighting an infection/virus. The ultra sound will be over pretty quick, and hubby will be wth you. Those are all good things. After you get to go to the bathroom, I bet youll eb mighty hungry!!!

            and he asked me if I was dealing with the side affects of having the high count so he thinks that it is just a mistake and that it was contaimnated.

              I used to get them when I was young. Birth control pills made it go away. It wasn't that bad at all.

              I'm hoping for you that it is something simple. The results come back from ultrasounds fairly quickly so you at least won't have too long to worry.

      you're so lucky to have such a loving, caring husband. when i had that done (and other even painful procedures), i had to go it alone. just take deep cleansing breaths and hold your husband's hand and try to push negative thoughts from your mind and you will be all right. good luck smile

    CW keep your chin up and all that jazz. I hope things go well but keep in mind you may not get an answer today so don't get too worked up. It's just a test to see if they can determine what is going on and may have to be sent back to the doctor who will have to look at it and see if he can determine what is going on. I wish you a speedy discovery though.

    I'm thinking about you, too.  I'll bet it's just some sort of infection.  Just to calm you down, I just went through He** with problematic mammograms.  I was convinced I had cancer...  After a ridiculous amount of ultrasounds, more mammography and a biopsy all is well.  In medicine, they need to cast a wide net to catch anything, which of course sends off our alarm bells.  Just remember, many people have similar stories and all turned out well.  Not to mention, you're young.  Let us know what happened (if you're so inclined) when you get home.  Hugs to you!!!

    the reason  why i ask is because it may not be as bad as you think, if they haven't tested you completely yet to weigh the options.  not trying to make light of your situation as i know it's serious. however, lets not assume the worse before the doctor says anything.

    I can understand not having a familial medical history makes this a little more scary.  I think that's natural.  The good news about today is you will get the ultrsound results immediately instead of having to go back home and stew...  That's nice, b/c there's nothing worse than waiting for test results.

    It's scary I know.
    See everything as coming back fine and feel the relief that you would feel if the DR told you that.
    My Daddy used to say not to worry about something until you had a reason to.
    I know that's easier said than done, but you gotta try.

    hold it for one second.

    breathe out while shaping your lips in an "O" shape to a count of 10.

          oh i see.  im sorry to hear that.  well maybe you should do something to take your mind off of this.  it's probably just the stress getting to you. why don't you try reading a book or watching tv for a bit to take your mind off things.

                I hope but I doubt it...when I stress and worry I stress and worry until I find out everything is okay or whatever...it's just how I am..

                Hubby HATES it! But that is how I am

      I hate that... I had to do that a few times during pregnancy-along with the dont eat after midnight cause you gotta have tests done the next morning... Telling a pregnant chick not to pee or not to eat for an extended period of time... Yeah right!
      BUT YOU CAN DO IT- Just dont think about waterfalls or dripping faucets big_smile

          Well, it never rains in California, so you should be fine. I mean, it isn't going to rain, is it? I mean as long as you don't get wet, you should be fine...

          Maybe take an umbrella.
