I'm going to make an appointment with a Gyno for sometime this upcoming week, is there anything I can do now to help with the pain I am experiencing(the pain is all over my abdomin, not confined to one area, and its sometimes dull ,but mostly like someone is stabbing me with a knife), I've never been to a GYNO and am kind of nervous, is there anything I should know before hand? Would you happen to know the basic cost of a GYNO appointment? My husband and I are on a tight budget and don't have health insurance so all would be out of pocket.
Sorry I droned on and on. I've got tons of questions,like what is the pregnancy success rate for someone who has had PID more than once and does scaring always occure?! Thanks you in advance for and help/advice you can give me!

PID can be caused by numerous bacteria, not just Chlamydia/Gonorrhea (although these are the most notorious)...
If you're feeling that much pain, you may want to go to the ER, although this can be very costly, but if a county hospital is available, these can be much better...
Otherwise, usually $100 for an exam would do with a Gyno...
PID can damage the tubes to the point where there's no communication for the sperm to meet the egg, or the embryo gets stuck in the tube creating an ectopic pregnancy, or you have a normal pregnancy...
The most impostant thing is that if a positive hpt is seen, that you seek medical attention to make sure it's not an ectopic...
Good luck, and keep us posted..
