Dr. Anderson, the Urologist who referred me to do the "limited" ivp xray, called me yesterday to talk about the results. Apparently I have a 4mm kidney stone. Joy of joys. He said I should have no problem passing the stone and should experience minor discomfort. However, he said if the pain increases from what it was when I had my appointment then I need to go in for another appointment. If everything stays the same, I won't need to see him again until after I deliver the baby. So, kind of good news.
I did a little research online, and I found that a 4mm kidney stone has an 80% chance of being passed without complications. Let's just hope I don't find myself in the 20% that can't pass it without help...
