Irritated Uterus...
Aug. 31st, 2001 01:03 pmAbout 2 weeks ago, I started feeling really shitty. Sick, tired, you name it.. We thought I was pregnant. Ok, fine. Well, yesterday morning, I started spotting real bad, then it stopped. Really scary. This morning, the same thing. So I went to the ER, they did some stuph to me, and come to find out, I have an irritated uterus. My hormones are off keel. The doctor (Dr. Forehand...I'm not joking, that's his name!!) said if this continues, it's just a matter of going on a hormone pill for a little while and getting my body back on track. I am so relieved. Here all this time, Eric and I thought we'd lost another baby, and it turns out my uterus was just bitchin cuz my hormones are out of whack. I mean, sure, for once a hormonal imbalance is a good thing, but what could have caused this to happen??? Is there any kind of birth control that won't mess me up worse but make it better in a matter of a couple months, so I don't have to be putting that crap in my system??? I don't believe in birth control (has nothing to do with religious beliefs), it's just I don't like having to put a lot of chemicals in my system. I took Demulen about 6 years ago when my son was born, came down with PCOS, and the Demulen cleared it up. Ok, fine. I went off the Demulen for a long time, then after my daughter was born, I tried going on Micronor, because I didn't want to have any children for a long time after her, and got paranoid she'd be sterile (I want her to be able to have children someday!!), so I took myself off the Micronor, tried Depo once, hated it, so I haven't tried anything since. I just don't like having to do all this. Any suggestions???

I think that anyone taking the pill should know all the risks that go along with it. I think your first move, as I've advised you before, should be to consult a reproductive endocrinologist. This specialist would be able to run all the necessary tests to get a good, full picture of your cycles, hormone levels, and reproductive history/future.

I also simply ask that you not change the font or it's color, just for continuity's sake. Thanks, and Enjoy the hut!
