Doctor visit

So I haven't been blogging as much lately, which I miss! But I have a whole bunch of things I want to update on but seem to be busy lately! Which I am ok with that! I enjoy being busy. One thing that has been consuming me lately is a doctors appointment I went to recently, (warning potential TMI coming) I went to the doctor because I missed my period for 100 days. I wasn't going to go, but I just kind of got a nagging feeling like I need to get it checked out.

So I went to the doctor, my doctor did an exam and requested "a workup" done on me... 6 VIALS of blood later I was moaning in grossness. I DO NOT like needles and I REALLY can't stand getting my blood drawn! I spent my 20 minute car ride home making funny faces and rubbing my arm and making whimpering noises!! After they took the 6 vials I looked at my hand and it was blue. YUCK!!! EWW, GROSS. (That is pretty much what I said for the next couple of hours). So I waited patiently for the blood work to come back. The doctor had told me that if everything came back normal she was going to put me on a pill for 5 days to get my period and hopefully that would get my body back into the swing of things. So I was hoping for that. Well I got a call from my doctor (after playing phone tag like 4 times) stating that one of my levels is high, which is why I am not getting my period. We don't know exactly what this means yet. It can be regulated with birth control, but that poses issues when you want to have a baby. So she scheduled me to see an OB GYN. So April 5th I am off to find out more information. I was pretty upset when they first told me because I always have had a fear of not being able to get pregnant. But I will not go there until I am told to go there. My husband has been super supportive and helping me and I am calm now, and am praying, and hopefully the OB GYN has good news and it will be a quick, easy and painless fix. I guess with the levels being high it could be several things one of them I think is just my level is high and that is it, or PCOS (which makes it VERY challenging to get pregnant), or tumors or some other disease. I have confidence that it isn't anything too serious, and I know that God will get us through anything! and that I need to just rely on God and he has a plan for me, I may not be able to see it yet, but I know he has a plan for me.


PS-I debated on posting this because it is very personal and haven't even told very many people, but this is my blog, and blogging about it helps and I want to blog about it, so I decided to go ahead and blog about it!

  2. Dealing with this stuff is always hard. My husband and I have been TTC for almost a year. Sometimes I am ok with it, other times I can't seem to breathe. I hope you find out what is going on and can take care of it.

  3. Yikes, that's scary, but good for you for going to the doctor. It's better than sitting around worrying. You'll figure it out one way or another.
