Welcome!

[winecheery]

Sewing quilts take lots of patience I bet. Welcome!

[nk]

Winecheery - not really...I'm a lazy sewer. Some times I'll bang out a quilt in a week....other times it takes MONTHS.

Welcome! Cyst twins!

I just had a 10cm endometrioma removed 3 weeks ago. The surgeon was concerned about a septum, but the MRI showed an arcuate ute.

Welcome! I love how you listed "drinking" as one of your hobbies:-) We are SO going to get along.

berbles- ugh! Did you have pain from
yout cyst? I had no idea I had it until I got an internal u/s. Be happy u didn't have a septum! The recovery wasn't bad but the bleeding was ridic.

Villainv- Drinking isn't a hobby? Hmmm....lol!

Do you have any photos of your quilts you can PIP?

I love quilts

I have a pic of my latest & most favorite quilt to date....but how do I PIP on here? Same as TN?

[nk]

Let's see if I can PIP correctly....
this is my latest & favorite so far (front & back):



I had extra of this fabric so I made a market bag this summer (ignore how wrinkled it is!):


These are 2 groups of fabrics I recently bought - I'm going to make quilts out of (hopefully...):

[thoseareradishes]

I love the fabrics you choose, especially the blue ones

I'm obsessed with those blues! I need to find the right pattern for those fabrics...and I can't decide what fabric to use for a backing or binding. Most of the quilts I make are for friends babies/kids so it depends on who is getting it (i end up wanting to keep all of them but promised DH I won't - we do not need 20 lap quilts in our house!)

Beautiful! You're a talented gal! I myself love the grey swatches best! :-) Make all of our babies quilts when we all get KU finally, ok??

Aw! Thanks Winecheery! And yes - ill make quilts for anyone that wants one!

[berbles]

I love the greys!!

Yes, the cyst hurt like a motherfucker. That's why I went in. Actually, I went in a few months ago, but my Dr and I decided the pain might be intestinal, so we treated it as such. After 2 months of that I realized it was clearly cyclic and probably reproductive. I went in on Tuesday and demanded an ultrasound. My doc agreed, I had the US done that day, learned of the cyst the next day, met the surgeon that Friday and had the fucker removed the following Tuesday. I was in THAT much pain.

They did a hysteroscopy during the surgery and thought I had either a septum or a bicornuate ute. We were all surprised (incl the surgeons) when the MRI showed a much more mild arcuate ute. I suspect that the endo is smooshing my uterus, and thus making it appear more deformed when viewed from the inside. The endo is so bad that they couldn't really even see my uterus from above, during the laparoscopy.

[nk]

Holy crap Berbles!! I've heard cysts are insanely painful. The Dr thought I might not have had a left ovary bc the cyst was squishing it and he couldn't see it on the u/s. I had zero pain though - which makes me nervous that I'll have another and not know it.

The RE dr found mine. I went to him after TTC for 9 mths and not getting KU. I just felt like something was wrong and since my insurance covered it I went. I'm glad I did since the septum was so severe.

[berbles]

Frankly, it was such a relief to have an explanation for some of the other symptoms I'd been having. The pain started in May, but I think the cyst has been there much longer (I doubt it grew to 10cm in 3 months).

And we've been trying for 8 months, which I know isn't a super long time, but I'm glad we didn't have to try for a year before getting the endo diagnosis. So there's that.

[nk]

That's true. It was a relief for me too. I could not figure out why I was constantly bloated. Like INSANELY bloated...Dr said it was most likely the cyst. We're both lucky they found them before the burst. I've heard that it the worst pain ever.

[berbles]

Yeah, ditto!

[winecheery]

Wow Berbles I had no idea it was so bad/involved. Sorry for both of you gals and your ute troubles icky owie!
