Got to see a Dr. I have a bit of mild swelling in my lower left abs.
He is sending me for an ultrasound.
That is going to be friday afternoon.
On the other I had my follow up with the hormone dr.
Because of the symptoms, we are changing the progesteron timing and will try some low dose test cream.
I got an ultra sound done and it seem like it was a cyst that burst. I would like to part with that sucker. As it seem that every time I get a cyst, it is on the left side.
I am feeling much better, so I will resume the gym soon.
Waring tried cranky menopausal sore bitch rant to be taken with a grain of salt or a full truck load of salt.
I canāt sleep so I am trying to find a way to convince a Dr to remove my stupid left ovary. I had over 15 cyst rupture over the last 20 years, all on the left side.
i canāt take any contraceptive pill that prevent ovulation because my body has some crazy reactions. Like loosing all feeling to one side of my body or constant bleeding for 3 months.
I always got the we canāt do that in case you would want a child. Ovaries are normally 2 in the body so 1 would be left. I never wanted kids.
At one point getting pregnant was strongly suggested as I had the same bf for over 5 years and every women want to have kids and I would change my mind once the baby would arrive.
Of course, I asked the Dr at the time, if it was a garantie that the cyst would not come back. But no, it was just a temporary fix. And what were my option if I did not wanted the kid in the end. Would he adopt it, pay for it and support my change of lifeā¦ Could I just sale it like I sale horses?
Maybe looking back I should just have said that I did not feel that women crap and I wanted to become a men.
By the way, I was ask by the Dr if I wanted to have kids, this time again. I am 46, no kids, no lost kids, never tried to have kids, never wanted any since i was a pre teen. Yep kids never cross my mind. I am going thru peri menopause at the moment.
Should I try to say I am fed up of being a women and ask for a sex change. maybe that would fix my problem a bit faster. As now young teen can have a whole sex change after a few consults and I guess the no in case you want kids in the future is not part of that side. I just want to get 1 stupid ovary out. It sound much simpler then full hysterectomy and double mastectomy with hormone therapy. But it is frown upon.
Ok rant over. I will try to get a pissy self to bed. Sorry for the kind of dark sarcastic humor.
Ok, just my opinion, but it seems your doctor needs to listen to your preferences. If you were 26, or even 36, the argument āyou might want kids somedayā would have merit. But youāre 46, and the lack of desire for children hasnāt changed through the decades, despite the opportunity with the ex-boyfriend to raise kids. Youāve consistently demonstrated you truly donāt want to be a mom, and now your doctor needs to listen to you.
I can empathize, Iāve never wanted kids, either. In my 20s and 30s, people would tell me thatāll change as I age or when I meet the right woman. Simply no. Iām now 45, I donāt want to have kids, never have, and it hasnāt mattered who Iāve dated, how Iāve felt about any given girlfriend, or how old I am. Iāve lost girlfriends and marriage opportunities because I donāt want to be a dad, but Iām honestly happier single and childless than married with children. Weāre in the minority, but not having kids is completely valid.
Just to clarify, I am still with the same amazing guy for the last 20 years. We bought/built 3 houses, did a lot of fun stuff, seen friends have kids. And I am still like nope, not me.
3 time I got false positive preg test done in Dr office because of the pain. First time I was very single and did not have sex for at least 1 year, Said Dr had to ask if I was sure. Just as sure as I was about to punch him. Sure enough the ultra sound was on my side and the blood test too.
By the 3rd time my gp ask me how I was doing it. You are the Dr, find the answer for me.
Hey, unfortunately this kind of treatment is still common nowadays (as you know). If I were you, I would tell this doctor that I will search for another who listens to me and do exactly that. This is unacceptable.
I havenāt experienced this first-hand from a doctor, but thatās only because I did a lot of homework to find a provider who respects me. The childfree subreddit has a list of doctors who have historically put their patientās needs above their own beliefs, and you may also find this resource useful.
I wish I could pick my provider. Here in Quebec you have to go on a waiting list to get a family dr or a gp. You can find a private dr and even there choice are limited.
Getting a second opinion is not common. When I broke my leg, I had to have a hissy fit just so some one would tell me what was broken and how it would be fixed. I got the your leg is broken and it need to be fixed.
So to get a second opinion you have to find a second clinic with a different group of dr. Welcome to public care. I hate my gp. Unless I move in a new region, I canāt ask for a new dr. And getting a new one can get a few years so you get a Family medicine group.
Ah, despite having grown up so close to the Canadian border, I chose to be ignorant here. Forgive me. That list came to mind because I know for certain that contributors have listed and described doctors in countries outside of the USA who fit this profile. In any case, I hope that some doctor will someday listen to you.
