Hey OC sisters!! I am newly diagnosed…I was gaslit and dismissed for over a year prior. My symptoms began over a year ago, I was sent for an ultrasound and told everything was normal!! I did have some vaginal wall thickening and uterine thickening but they said ovaries were normal. So I just sucked it up. The pain went from every now and then to constant, from being on one side to both sides. The pain is a deep dull ache…the pain is also on both sides in my groin and hips. I have occasional lower back pain mainly on the right side and mainly when I am sleeping. I also gained weight suddenly and I stay bloated. I have uncontrollable gas, to the point of embarrassment…as well as extremely painful bowel movements. I also pour sweat pretty much day and night which was new for me as well. I have been having weird chest tightening episodes but I’m not sure if that’s related or not, yet. My lipid panel was off, they call it Dyslipidemia, high cholesterol and low triglyceride levels, but the rest of my regular lab work was normal. Like I said, I am newly diagnosed and just starting this journey but have suspected OC since this all began over a year ago. I am just curious if anyone has a similar story to mine, as far as it being missed on an initial exam, being downright dismissed or if anyone had the same symptoms I have.
