Terror In The ER Waiting Room Reminds Me Why I Am Pro-Choice. Content Warning.
It Took Me Two Weeks. The pressure in my pelvis was dismissed as a symptom of my PCOS for two weeks before I gave in and decided to go to a doctor. I had a rough menstrual cycle at the beginning of September, so I figured I had an active cyst. No big deal, since I am very familiar with the process of 'riding it out.'
