I called my new RE this morning to let them know I got my period. I left the message as instructed. Someone from the office called me back to cancel my ultra sound with AFC to schedule SIS with AFC. When she asked to confirm my CD 1 was Saturday, I said "well, about that, I don't know if I should call this a period. It seems to be too light to be my normal period.... " She asked me "Do you want to wait until tomorrow to see if it turns into a full period? Do you normally have period like you are having now? " I told her I really didn't know what to make of it. I said to her that the way I was cramping on Saturday, it felt like I should have more of a full blown gushing out kind of bleeding, but instead it was more like spotting. It was more than spotting, but only when I wipe. I said I was sorry, but I couldn't decide whether it is period or not and I just didn't think it was a "full flow." She was nice and told me I could call her back tomorrow and we can decide then.
I still can't shake my suspicion of having Asherman's syndrome. I got my period as I am having withdraw symptom from stop taking Provera. But it feels as if my body is squeezing out blood a little by little. There's only a spec of blood on my pad. I am not using tampons and this feels too little blood to be called a period.
I think I will tell the lady I'd rather pretend this wasn't my period and have a regular ultra sound along with hysteroscopy to check for scarring.
I am so glad I switched my doctor. Even the scheduling lady is more patient. She didn't try to cut me off and listened. I can feel I am less stressed out knowing they call me when they tell me they will.
These are all signs that you have the right fit :) It can be confusing when it's not full flow and trying to figure out if it is or not. That's sweet that the nurse was patient and kind with you. That's the kind of nurse you need - one who understands that this is a very difficult journey. I think there are good things in your future with this clinic. So glad you took that step and looked for a new RE.
ReplyDeleteI decided to say it was not a full flow. It really couldn't have been. University hospital is so different from my old clinic. Staff are nice, doctors are nice. Even the doctors who aren't mine are nice.
