    It can only happen to me......

    Don't know where to put this.... Need support! I'm ttc girl and you ladies know me so here feels ok.
    I know your all going to say! Try not to think about it. But that's easier said than done! So here goes.

    Just over a month or so ago I felt what I thought was swollen glands, wasn't painful thought it would go away in a few days/weeks.
    over the last few days I have noticed that it has got slightly bigger and has not gone away. I went to see a doctor this morning and I thought she was going to tell me she couldn't feel anything and that it was just a viral infection and send me away.
    But no, My lymph nodes are swollen... I have to have some blood tests done and have a scan on my lymph nodes to rule stuff out.
    My mind is racing. Not what I was wanting to hear right when I'm recieving fertility treatment. Or anytime for that matter.

    They can swell for all kinds of reasons. Allergies, infections, virus....if it is going up and down, it is probably just one of those.

    It's probably nothing, they swell up for all kinds of things (including when I was a teenager and I"d have my braces tightened!!) I know it's nervewracking but the odds are very high it will end up being nothing.

    FX for good news soon!!!

    It's not coming and going, they have been swollen for sometime, got a little bigger in the last 4week and have not gone back down!
    I'm not going to put my life on hold yet though because I know it might be nothing!

    It's not just that it might be nothing, it's almost certainly nothing beautiful so while I know it's difficult please try not to worry. ((((Hugs))))
