You all remember my Crimson Wave blog! Well here's the latest....
I am choosing to be open and honest about all that I am going through, because I know that I am not alone. I know quite a few people who are currently going through similar things that I am right now. I also know a few people who have been there in the past and have success stories to share and in the end I hope I do as well.
I did have my ultrasound. I have been waiting for a few days trying to process things before I put it all out there.
But anyway here I go.....
My ultrasound was pretty normal. I do have a tilted uterus, but they said that is just a genetic thing that some people have and should cause no issues down the road. Also, I have a very thick lining in my uterus. This is because I don't get freaking periods!!! Everything else looked really good. There was some fluid internally, but they said it was likely that I had a cyst that burst in the last few days. Again, a very normal thing and nothing to worry about.
They drew blood to run a series of 38 different tests. They were searching for a diagnosis. I am not sure if it's good news or bad, buttttttt EVERYTHING was 100% normal. I was almost hoping they would find some kind of a hormonal imbalance etc. Something like that would have been such a easy fix. Of course nothing that has to do with my body is ever an easy fix.
As of now the next step is to see what my body does now that I am done with the Provera medicine. Remember that medicine that was suppose to STOP my 35 day period?!? Yeah, we'll it stopped it for a day or two and that's about all. I am on a 10 day wait to see what happens.
My doctor would like to do an endometrial biopsy. This would be a surgical procedure done as an outpatient surgery. They would take a small sample of the lining in my uterus and test the cells. I think am going to make the appointment for it to be done. I say think because my doctor is really sending my mixed messages and I really, REALLY do not like her. She is very rude and I cannot see myself going on this long journey with her. I am at a crossroad right now.... sometimes she says I need the biopsy and sometimes she says it's not necessary. I would like to find a new doctor and get a second opinion on what we should really do.
Again.... stay tuned!

Oh Kristina, I'm so sorry you are having trouble....you are right though, you are NOT alone!! I think every woman is in a constant battle with her stupid uterus. lol. If you don't like your doctor, and you aren't getting good vibes, absolutely DO NOT schedule and unnecessary surgery!!! There are WAY too many risks involved, even if they do minimize them.
I know an AWESOME gyno, but he is with kaiser.....his name is Dr. Haugen. Yes, he is a he, but he is WONDERFUL and he saved my moms life. i wanted him to deliver my baby, but I had to switch insurance. Ugh.
I have been going to Dr. Bishop at Legacy Salmon Creek. (I don't know why but I prefer male gynos...they are more gentle and holistic) Anyway, he delivered Brookelynn, and has kids, and is older, and is gentle, and honest, and explains things thoroughly.....I really get good vibes from him.
If you aren't opposed to male gynos, check them out!! This is your baby factory we are talking about! I wouldn't just let any hoohaaa cut into it!!!
Sending you prayers that this all ends soon!!! And you get to go periodless for a good 9 months PLUS after this! ;o)
Thanks Sarah!
We actually have Kaiser! We switched about 6 months ago when Alex's job became union. My primary care doctor is a male and he is really great, but there is only so much he can do for me in this situation. I didn't get to choose this gyno I am seeing right now and I really don't want to go back to her. I am setting up an appointment for a second appointment and I will see if I can see Dr. Haugen. I trust you, so if you say he's good I will check him out! :o)
I'm so sorry honey, I know this must be awful but you're going to get through it and be better than ever! <3 Love you!!!
