Complications

I think it's finally time to be open about some health issues of mine. This is a warning to any guys that read my posts, I'm going to be talking about feminine issues... For the past year I have had a severly irregular period. It started in June 2011, pretty much out of no where I started to only get my period once every 2 months. I obviously thought something was wrong with me but my doctor reassured me that everything was ok and that although it was 2 months apart, it was still somewhat regular so I had nothing to worry about. In January 2012 things started to change and I had gotten my period for 2 weeks straight. Again my doctor said that everything was normal and maybe I should be put on birth control to regulate my periods. I did not choose that path and started to do some research of my own the rest of that month on irregular periods and what the possibility of that happening could be. I can honestly say I took at least 5 pregnancy tests since January to see if that could be what was behind my problems. Unfortunately, I was not pregnant. In June 2012, about a month ago, I went to the doctor once more because since January I had started to get a regular period, once every month, but I would only get it for one day each month. Again, my doctor said that's perfectly normal but let's put you on birth control.

I'm definitely NOT interested in birth control. Jonathan and I have plans of our own and I'm not about to push them off so that my doctor is satisfied with me getting regualr periods. So I had enough nonsense from this doctor without receiving any feedback on what could be going on with my body. I decided to go somewhere else...somewhere I thought would probably be better because my friend has just had a baby at this other hospital and had nothing but good things to say about the staff. Plus she's a nurse herself and I feel like if an awesome nurse goes to a certain doctor then they must be a good doctor...right??

Anyways, I haven't gotten my period since May so I made an appointment with the new doctos. So, I'm there last night, sitting in the room by myself patiently waiting for the doctor after the nurse had asked me all the the history of my family information they need for my records. She comes in the door with a couple of pamplets, sits down across from me, and starts talking about infertility...umm, what!? It was such a cruve ball, I felt like someone had punched me right in my stomach. I honestly felt like I was in a daze while she was going over all of the information. I was extremely upset that Jonathan couldn't be there with me for support but we had no idea I would be having this conversation with the doctor. Now it's not a for sure thing, I have some testing I have to go through and it's not like Jonathan and I have been "trying" to get pregnant so I'm not too worried about it yet. But, now it's in the back of my mind and it kind of freaks me out.

Now, what happens is I am on medication which will force me to have my period. On day three of my period I have to do blood work to find out what the reason is...it could be one of four things: 1. A lack of PCOS which means I will be put on fertility medicine and have a higher chance of multiples. 2. Early Menopause. 3. Thyroid issues, she didn't give me a lot of information about this but it shouldn't be a big deal. Or 4. Some long medical term which means brain tumor BUT not a serious one!! Just one that gives off the hormone you use when breast feeding, which can be fixed by medicine as well. If it isn't any of those THEN I have to start worrying about infertility. After The blood work is done I will be having an ultrasound...

It's a bit overwhelming but hopefully it's nothing and I'm just freaking myself out. Here's to positive feedback!
