Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Want something to laugh about?

As it turns out my ovary has been hurting me quite a bit... AGAIN... (no, that's not the ha ha ha part... I mean if that makes you guffah feel free but hoping not, LOL!)

So I go to my doc and explain various things I'm experiencing and we both agree that my ovaries are sooooooo screwed up from all they've done to me in there (3 surgeries). I dont' want another surgery to remove the dumb things after all this and he says the cysts are harmless (well, painful but harmless) so the best and easiest avenue now is hormone control therapy. i.e. birth control

I start laughing uncontrollably. I think first of all it was the relief that we'll try something SIMPLE this time (every time I leave his office it's with directions to seek out a surgeon or radiologist or whatever... so I was relieved) but also I was just CRACKING UP... I mean, get the irony... I have no uterus and dh has had a vasectomy. And Im' on BC! Good NIGHT....

I'm using Nuvaring and hoping it also helps with IBS and mood swings (hey, a lady can hope, right?) Mostly I'm hoping it stops my ovaries (left in particular) from developing cysts that feel like someone stabbed me and forgot to pull the knife back out (yowzers!)
