I am currently not puking by sheer force of will.
Isn’t that just what you wanted to hear? Hear me out. You know when you read all the side effects on a medication and they list the really horrible ones that happen to < 1% of the population? I am one those < 1%. It is not one of those things I am so thrilled about. And you know how your mom is always telling you that you’re special? Well, this is one of those instances where being special sucks ass.
My current < 1% symptom? Acute abdominal is what the literature calls it. I call it Freddy Kruger Is Trying To Claw His Way Out of My Abdomen. And! This little gem started right around the time when I am supposed to be ovulating. OH. MY. GOD. Is this what ovulating is like? Because if it is? FUCK YOU OVARIES! You can SUCK IT. And right now it’s just getting worse.
How much worse? Well, this morning between 4:14 am and 5:21 am I kept dreaming that SOMEONE WAS TRYING TO KILL ME. And then I would wake up and realize, nope, it was just MY OWN BODY TRYING TO KILL ME. No one else was necessary.
I’ve put in a call to my nurse and she thinks that it might be a cyst. I was told to take some tylenol and she’s going to talk to the doc and then get back to me. In the meantime, if you see me curled in the fetal position, do me a favor and put me out of my misery. I would rather have a VAGINAL ULTRASOUND! than this. And I do not say that lightly.
Ugh.

Cysts of the ovarian kind. I have had them. I would hug you if you could handle it. I hope it resolves soon.
UGH. I hate to hear this. Don’t you just LOVE being the exception to the rule?!? I really hope it’s just (extreme) O pains…I never felt myself O until the baby making pills…felt like bad cramps, but nothing like what you’re describing.
Maybe Femara would be better for you? Might be worth it to ask.
Hope you feel better soon, chica.
I am so sorry you are having to go through this!!! I know cysts are VERY painful….I hope things settle down for you soon!!!!
I got nothing but man-stories here. I do sympathize, as I am also the one percenter who gets EVERY FUCKING SIDE EFFECT that is listed. You may experience [symptom] = You will experience [symptom] for me. And usually bad enough to fully disrupt whatever I’m doing.
She told you to take a Tylenol???? Don’t you love it when they say that? “Take a Tylenol.” I always want to respond, “If I could take a Tylenol and make this go away, we wouldn’t be talking right now.”
i sowwy.

Goodness. That sounds awful. Once again I refer you to my good friend Alcohol. Works way better than Tylenol…
I am having a beer for you RIGHT THIS VERY second.
