im in the mood to hope they just rip everything out cause i dont need to reproduce. can't even find out until i get an ultrasound one month down the line, after i've just had a period.
Been through it, the frustration and the feeling of just rip it out because I don't use it anyway. Eventually they did. I had to keep pushing before they figured out what was going on.
Hopefully they will figure yours out. Sending good thoughts your way.
and for some CRAZY reason....... my body is rebelling against every bit of wit i have in me......... to reproduce!! !!
that's the last thing this world needs... but it's adding a weird layer to my on-and-off-again depression.
edit: and thanks ZM and everyone here wishing me well..... it's kinda scarey
Well, I can't say I ever felt any urge to reproduce. Quite the opposite! But, that's me and my hormones were all messed up so don't go by me. It's probably just your hormones going into overdrive.
As to being frightened, that's normal. When they couldn't figure out what was going on with me, I kept thinking of Gilda Radnor's symptoms and I had them all. I was convinced it was ovarian cancer on top of the fact that I'd had a ten month period and I fell asleep at work or while talking to my husband (anemia). I had bad dreams. I looked like the walking dead. It was a really, really bad time. AND I had to advocate for myself to find out what was wrong. So I think you are not only normal for feeling frightened, you are justified in it. If you weren't frightened, you probably wouldn't keep pushing to find out what's wrong. That's a good thing. The depression is bad, but again it's normal. Of course you are depressed. Who wouldn't be fighting this battle to be diagnosed. You can't give up, but you shouldn't feel badly that you became depressed. If a man went through even half of this they'd be depressed. They get depressed if they can't sustain an erection and run right out and get viagra. We have a problem that is ruining our whole life, including everything outside the bedroom, and it takes three years for them to even pay attention and start to figure it out. That's enough to depress anyone.
Just don't give up. Keep after them until they find out what's going on. It's your right.
