The only doctor I see is my OBGYN on a yearly basis . . .I honestly cannot stand doctors! This past January I skipped my period . . .don't know why, just did . . .I took a EPT (I'm 41 by the way and my husband had an operation many years ago after my son was born) but my older sister's were insisting I was pregnant and maybe somehow my husband's operation reversed itself . . .
I call my OBGYN and explain what is going on . .. after all, I was just there in October and never ever was late before . . .of course, they send me for a blood pregnancy test, which comes back negative . . .DUH! So then late February I get my period finally, but it doesn't stop . . .after 2 straight weeks, again, I call my doctor . . .he said "well, I can't do anything to stop the bleeding" Ummmmm hello . . .I'm like dying over here and it doesn't show signs of stopping . . .and it didn't . . .he says well maybe you are going to start having abnormal periods now because of your age and you may be pre-menepausal . . .OK . . .but I'm still bleeding . . .and I don't mean just regular bleeding, I mean OMG I'm going to die bleeding . . .gushing (sorry I know its gross) Finally, and I mean finally, he sets me up for a D&C (April 7th) needless to say I started bleeding February 26th . . .and you know what I had to do?? Get ANOTHER blood work up for pregnancy (just to make sure I wasn't having a miscarriage)
Oh and I had to go get an internal ultrasound (which by the way is nasty) to see if there were any cysts, masses, etc . . .NOTHING . .. just blood . . .I have the D&C and he did a tissue sample and it came out with nothing . . .Soooooo why did I bleed like a monsoon? Who knows? Since my D&C my periods are still weird . ..a lot shorter, but not back to normal before I started that entire episode . . .and now that I started back exercising . .I'm already a week late . . .I can't even tell you what is going through my mind right now, I'm just hoping I don't ever repeat what I experienced in February - April.
So I feel your pain . . .I really dislike doctors, because after all, they are no better than you or me . . all they can come up with is a hypothesis and try different things . . .
