Yay! Got bloodwork started but still feel like bleh....

vh2014

Went back to my OB/GYN today (who also has an RE in the office, though I am confused if it is him or one of his partners....).  Anyway, we had a good discussion about my never ending cycle.  So... the fact that I spotted after Provera, even though it wasn't even remotely close to flow, does mean that I responded to it, which is good.  Even that could get my cycle going again.  He did agree that I probably wasn't ovulating, and took a look at my charts.  He doesn't think I am going through early menopause or anything just that the IUD/ TTC for a short period of time/ Nuva Ring/ TTC again cycle messed me up.  BUT he didn't want to wait until we hit 6 months... close enough... he ordered all the bloodwork and based on what happens in the next 2 weeks and what the bloodwork says we will start medicated (and monitored) cycles if necessary at the beginning of the year.  So... maybe some progress!  

Though really... I feel like my body is broken and I did it.  I know I didn't but I really loved my IUD and now I feel like I'm paying for not suffering through AF every month. I also feel like maybe it was the wrong choice go back on BC before the wedding... if I had just let my body figure itself out... but I know I can't turn back time, just feeling crappy about it.  Hopefully having test results will make things better.  

Oh... and one last note... in case anyone was wondering... I changed my FF app to show light the day of spotting even though it was spotting because that's where we are looking from for this "cycle".  That's when I "responded" to the Provera and when we would hope that my body was thinking it was starting a new cycle.  As soon as I did I got a dotted line... but no cross hairs.  I do know that spotting is not flow and the start of a cycle, but 1) it was getting impossible to read on my phone  and 2) that's where we are looking from so it made sense so I could keep track.

I'm glad you've gotten the ball rolling!  I hope your bloodwork results are good and (if necessary) you can start your medicated cycles ASAP.  Good luck!

I am glad you got things started on the blood work but I am sorry you are still feeling blah. 

I wish I could say magic words to make you understand you didn't break your body but I know words don't typically help. All you can do now is look ahead and getting that blood work going is a good step! 

I really hope your body gets back to normal for you soon *hug*

Thanks!

Nikolie93 I know in my head that I didn't do it... but it's like knowing you can't have symptoms at 3DPO, your head just messes with you sometimes. Ugh... I thought being a "grown up" would help with some of this crap but I guess no matter how old you get sometimes it's still hard to quiet the inner voices. I really appreciate all you for listening to my whining and craziness.

I love crazy whining. Makes me feel like I'm not the only one. Lol

You are taking all the right steps. Hopefully after the blood work you will have a better understanding on what's going on with your body.
Do you have to wait for AF to do the labs?

flyliceandcoffee

feel free to whine and vent away! I'm glad you were able to have a good talk with your doctor, sounds like things are at least heading in the right direction for you.

vh2014

@hooligans4... not all of them.  They did some bloodwork today.  More later.... depending on what this round says.

You are making the right steps!!  FX your blood work comes out beautiful!!!   Sounds like the doctor isn't too concerned about anything and just need to get your body going again.

Good for getting things started and i hope you get some real answers and solutions!

Nikolie93

I'm with @hooligans4‌ . It sucks we are all here but hearing venting from others doesn't make me feel so alone with the craziness in my head

As for thinking you did something wrong, as irrational as it may be, I swear that exercise caused my issues. *sigh*

I know getting the ball rolling is sometimes the hardest part so at least you've done that. Our bodies are amazing things and will probably balance out.  GL.

You are moving forward in the right direction so cheers to that. Good luck to you!

We all have our moments to whine/vent and I think we all apologize for doing it. So don't feel bad for doing it. This is such a difficult journey especially when you have something in your head telling you in some way, shape or form that it's your fault. (I know I've done that too.) 

Fingers crossed your blood work gives you answers you need to be able to move forward.
