So I am from a rural part of Southeastern, Ohio. I will be honest and say that the medical community there is a bit lacking in the way of technology. Every time I would see a doctor I always had comments like..."Your cycles are off due to stress.....or "You are young and have plenty of time to have children"....I had a mid wife tell me one time that "Its up to God when you get pregnant"...yes she said that...and I agree to an extent. Is it not up to me to find out why I can't get pregnant? Or to seek out the help of others to find out why?!?
I cannot tell you how many times I went to the ER for pain or heavy bleeding. The same thing would always happen...draw blood...not bleeding to death....call your doctor if you don't improve. So I would see the doctor and would get the ol'.....You haven't had a regular cycle ....you are bleeding heavy due to not menstruating regularly. The bleeding went on for 2 months before I had to have a D &C.. That was in November 2006.
I'll spare you the next four years of pain...changing doctors three times....and bring you to January 2011. My husband and I moved to the capital city of Columbus, Ohio. I find myself a "real doctor" and my life begins to change. Fear and hope become a daily part of my life.
