Hi all, Well my gyn is really nice...I did not push for a lap..she said she sooner follow me a few months first...sigh..but as suspected I just said ok...after all she is the dr. For the next couple months I will take my birth control straight through with no stops, guess i'm ok with that... She mentioned minera and the needle,.which I did say I don't know and I would probably want a diagnosis for certain of endo.. She said we will try the birth control without stopping for a couple months and see get i'm 3 months to see if that helped, if not we will look at going to the or... she is really concerned with heavy bleeding too. I don't really know how I feel right now....I feel like in a way I let myself down as I was ok with everything she said. Love the fact that she agreed narcotics is not the way to go she is really nice. Signing off in pain and unsure of where my feelings are.... See what I mean now that I am quite, kind, etc.. But hey I will have a period this week then next month shouldn't as will be going on through with pills...yay for that, even though I am weary about it.. But my gyne is really nice!!

Hey butterfly
Glad you get along with your gynae I think it's very important I see my new one this friday and quite nervous....
Anyhu its good you disagreed with mirena and needle until you have a diagnosis of endo as at least then you definitely know what it is and how you can deal with it...I think its good she wants to see you and follow for few months before jumping into surgery she may repeat some tests and scans as routine so she knows results and can rule out all else before surgery as it can be a big thing...and drain you
Its ok not knowing what to feel or react hun hugs I hope.the bc helps and if not she can help you get diagnosed and you know we here to.listen hope.you feel better soon xxx

I met with my Dr today to follow up with her on how my appt went last week with my Gynecologist and to let her know how that is going. Me and my Dr have a good ongoing communication relationship and she likes to be kept up to date on things. As well I broke down and talked to her about how my mood is being effected and that i feel low and sad and frustrated..along with exhaustion and loss of apetite. Again we have a long histroy together and she told me that she is not surprised by this and she is really worried for me. Saying she was worried about me, I have had PTSD, depression and other things that she is concerned about creeping back up and bringing me to a place i was too a few years ago and she is worried that i may be headed down that road again. She was very proud that i came to talk to her about it though and think that my awareness around it is a sign of me trying to get help and be in control instead obe being controled by mental illness. She did recomend that i go back on a mild antu depressant that would also help with the sleeping and then with the eating too as it will as we know start to even things out. I cried so much.....and she was great about it. Took the time to sit with me and hear my concerns. She knows it was hard for me to talk to her about this and take the scrip for the medication as she knows how grat i was doing with my mental and emotional health lately and I was so happy when i finally came off the anti depressants. She asked me what i would say to my clients that I deal with and i told her i would tell them taking anti depresssants do not make them weak and if anything it shows a strength in them as they are fighting an illness, and that if taking medication can help them feel better and not be sad, depressedm sleep, etc then taking the medication i see as a great thing....and so forth. She said exactly, so allow yourself to hear those same words from yourself. She is right, we are often so hard on ourself. She told me that she has not heard me being so hard on myself in so long...She made me feel much better today as i been beating upon myself over the pain and how i am feeling..why do we always be so hard on ourself I wonder? at least i do be... Overall a good appt....despite the tears, i am not a fan of crying especially in front of others but there was no way of holding it in soon as i said the words to her "the pain has me feeling down and i am ....." I just filled up and tears came. But she is a good Dr and very caring and empathetic. Hearing her say she is concerned for me and to try this med for a month and come back but if i need to come back before then to definiotely come back to her as she wants to keep a close eye on me.. sorry so long.....I tend to write a lot

It's hard for us not to be hard on ourselves because being that it's hard to make others understand what we are going through and understand we tend to keep alot in. If you need something to help with the depression there is nothing wrong with that.

Yeah I took the scrip and got it filled right away...I know it should help get me through a bump..may only need it for a short time to help me sleep and eat regular again that may boost my mood back.. Thanks:)
