The Pill... I Went To The Doctors...

xxlilvampxx · 08-22-2007, 12:48 PM

Okaii, After reading the advice from my other post... i went to the doctors. I talked to my mum before though, i didnt say i was sexually active i said ive been looking into it and it really helps your periods, and seeing as my periods are very irregular... I went.

I went to the doctors before explaining that i hadent been on in 6months... and he said that i should come back if i dont come on in a month... But i came on.

After going to the doctors and asking for the pill the doctor asked me about my periods again after being off for tht length of time, i explained that i had come on that week after seeing him before, but he still asked me questions, these are the questions he asked me and how i responed, i think you should know if your going to help me:

Are your current periods Painful?: Yes, very, mostly in the lower back and at the front of my lower stomach.

Are They clotty?: Sometimes, not all the time mostly towards the end.

When was the last time you were on your period: 27th July.
(Btw, i havent been on sence then, meaning i am late again)

He then told me i can go on the pill, but he wants to do some tests, I had a blood test for glucose levels and normal blood test, he took my blood pressure too. I got the results back of my test and everything was fine and so was my blood preasure.
I Have an ultra scan on Tuesday...

So what could be wrong? I went to the doctors asking for the pill and came out having tests done on me... none of my friends had this...

Im Really confused and he wont tell me anything and im scared that when i have my ultra scan (My mum will be there and theres no gettin rid of her) that they will say something because she still doesnt know im sexally active.

Whats Wrong With Me

?

Your period is late? Is it possible you are pregnant? You are sexually active right?

xxlilvampxx · 08-22-2007, 12:58 PM

Lol, Yeh I Am, But Im Not Pregnant, I havent had sex while this whole thing was going on... infact the last time i did was b4 the 27th of July... tht seems a while ago now

He is probably doing all the tests as you have very irregular periods and he wants to rule out any problems that are causing the irregular periods, before prescribing what is right for you to you. The ultra sound may be to examine irregularities in the reproductive system, or look for inflammation, etcetera.

The pill is still medication, and he has to make sure you are healthy enough to take it.

Your friends may have gone and got it, but had more regular periods or told him it was for birth control so they only did a cursory questionnaire/check up.

it's still possible you're pregnant... some women continue to have a period or spot throughout pregnancy..

with that being said...
your doctor could be testingfor a number of things...the one thing that stands out in my mind is Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS)... i have this and it sounds like all of the tests my doctor did to find out... don't be scared--it's nothing to worry about. a good diet, exercise and birth control will get this under control...IF it's that...

He could just be doing routine blood work...but the ultrasound seems random

The doctor is screwing you around. Go to a health clinic and they will give you a pack or two of pills right away. Don't bother going to that doctor again, it sounds like he's doing this to discourage you from going on the pill and might be forcing his religious crap on you.

BE CAREFUL on the pill...... it's dangerous and could cause LOTS of problems! You may need to try different types of pills, don't be afraid to change until you find the right one! You should also look into "the patch" and the nuva ring, I think they are both available in England.

Good luck!

That is exactly what I was wondering too, due to the irregular periods and pain.

Meow18 · 08-22-2007, 01:07 PM

So, you want to go on the pill, but you are basically lying to everyone, including the doctors, about the real reason?

And you had your last period right when you had sex last? Why do you not think you could be pregnant from this?

I'm confused. You said you had your period around July 27th? It's not even the end of August.. how do you figure you are late?

xxlilvampxx · 08-22-2007, 01:08 PM

I Dont Think I Am... Ooo I Hope Not..

Ill Do Another Test To Make Sure...

PCOS was exactly what I was thinkin' too.

Ultrasound can show whether ovaries are enlarged or have visible cysts consistent with PCOS.

I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 27. IF that's what your doc is looking for, being on the pill is the first/preferred way to manage it.
