It was a large ruptured ovarian cyst and i have lots of fluid around my uterus plus the annoying bleeding!!</p> <p>No exercise for two weeks except walking!! So i will be lacing up my shoes to get to work :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556906 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 14:49:13 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1556906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hotchildinthecity: I totally get it. Two weekends ago, I was in so much pain it was hard to hold my boys whole standing. Not fun. Thankfully, it's been more of a full ache the last couple of weeks. Hope you get lots of answers tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556844 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 14:34:57 +0000 heartonastring 1556844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You won't lose all your hard work. I did cf 3-4x/week before I had dd (including through my entire pregnancy). I didn't make it back to any cf classes until 9 months postpartum and I was actually shocked at how well I still did. So, don't sweat it (er, literally!), your body is so much better off already for all the hard work you've done and a week or two is nothing in the grand scheme of things :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556780 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 14:24:01 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1556780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: unfortunately, no. I actually thought it was my appendix and i saw the nurse practitioner in my building. Due to placement and everything, she recommended seeing my ob/gyn :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556700 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 14:12:07 +0000 raspberries 1556700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could it maybe be your stomach hurting? If you drastically changed your diet, your body might be trying to adjust, or you might not be getting enough fiber or something like that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556631 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:54:54 +0000 blackbird 1556631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would totally put me in an awful mood! </p> <p>Even if you have to have a lap for them, you'll only be off your feet for a week or two! And you definitely won't undo all that hard work or lose your drive in that short of time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556604 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:47:14 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1556604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: thanks!! i've only been back on my "new" birth control for about 6 weeks because unfortunately they cant prescribe me my previous one (yasmin). At this point the pain is too bad to be doing crossfit and of course i dont want to make it worse! Hopefully i do get a few answers tomorrow. I'm just in one of those moods where it's like i cant deal with one more thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556559 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:32:47 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1556559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hotchildinthecity: My OB actually scheduled me for an u/s to see if I have an ovarian cyst, but he made it sound like it's likely to resolve on it's own or after a 2-3 month course of BC pills. I don't think it would keep you from working out unless the pain was too much or it was the kind (not nearly as common) that requires surgery. Hope you get some answers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556554 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:31:01 +0000 lamariniere 1556554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hotchildinthecity: I was also going to suggest swimming. You are in NYC, correct? I used to have a membership to the city parks and rec centers and they have pools. I don't know how much it costs now, but when I was last a member around 2009, it was only $75 for the WHOLE YEAR and you can go to any of the city gyms in all 5 boroughs. </p> <p><a href="http://www.nycgovparks.org/programs/recreation-centers/membership" rel="nofollow">http://www.nycgovparks.org/programs/recreation-centers/membership</a></p> <p>Ok, I just looked and man it has gone up, but it's now $150 for a year or $75 for 6 months, still a steal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556532 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:23:54 +0000 mrsrain 1556532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had ovarian cysts. They often resolve on their own-- mine did. Hopefully yours will too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556528 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:22:09 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1556528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: @T.H.O.U.: @LuLu Mom: thanks!! Unfortunately I belong to a crossfit gym so equipment is limited. But i love doing yoga at home and now that the weather is nice, i can be walking outside. </p> <p>I'm just envisioning a complete loss of all my hard work, which of course is impossible in a short amount of time ;). I know i need to listen to my body and take care of myself first and foremost ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556470 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:05:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 1556470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with swimming, it's a great all body workout but low impact your body won't hate you for it. I think you can still stay active to help maintain while following your doctor's orders. Take walks with the hubs, do some light weights, stretch/yoga are all ways to keep your body going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556459 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:00:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1556459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even if they tell you to back off, maybe you can still do light weights for upper body strength and things like that not involving your core. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556385 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 12:38:47 +0000 septca 1556385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IF they tell you to back off (and maybe they won't?), can you temporarily switch to something lower impact like swimming and/or yoga? I know it won't be quite the same intensity, but for me, getting to the gym on the regular is what keeps me feeling good and motivated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-convince-me-this-wont-send-me-totally-off-track#post-1556347 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 12:24:07 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1556347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know I am overreacting but I feel like I need some encouragement. Short backstory. I was heavy as a teenager and worked my butt off to get in shape in college and after. In the year I was trying to get pregnant/off birth control and subsequently diagnosed with pcos, i gained 25 lbs and i was absolutely devastated. I'm no fitness model but staying in shape is extremely important to me.</p> <p>After making the decision to adopt, i've been back on birth control and feeling awesome. In the last few weeks, i've been fine tuning my diet and working out 4-5 mornings a week. This week, i was excited to update my weight and take progress photos and measurements.</p> <p>But since Monday, i've had lower abdominal pain which i suspect are ovarian cysts. I go to the doctor tomorrow. Not only am i feeling down from missing all my workouts so far this week, but i fear they will tell me i have to take time off. I know i am being crazy but i finally feel like i've finally gotten this time and energy to work on myself and i'm just hitting another brick wall.</p> <p>Encouragement and any suggestions would be awesome :). Thanks! </p>
