The Results

Posted by Sarahbear on November 21, 2011

It’s been a long month. Longer, actually. All the doctor tests came back normal. I had a sonogram to check for fibroids or lesions, and there were none to be found. The doctor talked with me about my results for my lab tests, all normal. He said it’s good because it rules out all the bad stuff. He doesn’t believe there’s anything wrong, aside from the fact I have consistently irregular (ha) periods. He hopes the glucophage with get my insulin in check, and eventually I’ll start to ovulate regularly again.

I’m just exhausted. Bleeding for 6 weeks, two of those while taking a medication that was suppose to make me stop bleeding, then being put on an even higher dose of estrogen for a few more weeks was awful. Since the estrace didn’t work, he had me stack Loestrin24e (3 a day for 3 days, 2 a day for 2 days, then 1 a day til I finished the pack). I did stop bleeding, had some breakthrough spotting after a couple of days, then as soon as I finished the pack I started bleeding again. Heavily. He said I’d have a cycle, but good grief. I’d just like to go a bit longer without having to worry about if I’m going to have to empty my Lunette Cup in the college bathrooms or having to wash my completely worn out Luna panties every single night (I’m crossing my fingers that I get some new ones and some pads for Christmas). This is getting really old.
