I'm currently experiencing my second bad bout with bgc. Over the last few years they have come and gone before getting giant and painful- not too mention scary looking. I had it lanced once at the nearest city run hospital. It was the worst experience EVER. There were 6 people in the room- interns and 1 doctor. I've been married for 16 years and was there with my husband for support but was treated like a a slut--The doctor even said with a smirk, that women with these usually have std's as well. That Doctor was a SHE. They hurt me physically as well. I was screaming and writhing in pain while she squeezed it they and made lots of grossed out faces and no attempt to hide them. It was an awful experience. Now it's back and I've found a great gyno that wants to do a marcupialization on it. Problem is that we have no money. I hate him. (My husband that doesn't want to work a regular job with a boss) It only comes back after I have sex with him. psychosomatic? maybe. Anyway, I'm going to try to get it to burst but am scared of how bad it's going to hurt while it's growing. Raising 4 kids that are super and smart (7, 10, 12, and 16) and taking care of his needs, I feel like I really deserve better than this.
Sorry about the rant- I'm kind of freaked out right now. I have actually had a male friend ask me how much it costs, I think he was going to offer to pay. I just can't do that- i don't think I can anyway-LOL ask me again in a week- it's only day 3 and the size of a walnut right now. does anybody have a $$ figure for a marsupialization? I'm in FL if that makes a difference.
anyway, I wanted to say thank you thank you thank you for putting together this website. Knowing that I'm not alone with this problem helps alot mentally. Being able to read all the info is extrememly helpful too.
thanks so much to all the women that shared their stories too.
