I went to the doctor yesterday to get the IUD Birth Control thing & yeah it didn't go well...
I was ok at 1st and then the doctor did the numbing stuff (because I haven't had my baby's the vaginal way...and my cervix hasn't been opened up enough & the doctor wanted me to be more comfortable.) Well the numbing stuff had adrenaline in it & made my head start to feel lightheaded (like I would pass out) and then it felt like my head would explode...then my heart just felt like it would explode out of my chest! So the doctor stopped and took the tools out...and had me relax by breathing & counting because I was flipping out. I was shaking & then I just started bawling. The doctor asked why I was crying & I told her I didn't know & that I haven't cried in so long. The rest of the visit I cried. I told the nurse that when I get mad I cry & so maybe that is why I was crying with the adrenaline in my blood? I was also a little sad that the procedure didn't go as well as I thought it would :o(. Then the doctor gave me my options if I still wanted the IUD...I could take a pill that would dilate my cervix & then I would take a valume (sp) & I would also have to have someone drive me. So the doctor & nurse left me to think about things & relax and I figured that I didn't want the IUD. I don't want to have something foreign in my body like that?
Also when the doctor was doing the procedure from before she asked if I was on antibiotics and I told her no & she told me I had a yeast infection. I asked her what caused those & I asked if eating a lot of bread (LOL) did it & she said no. She said eating a lot of sugar can (and yeah that would be why I think...) Then she told me that she is sure I have PolyCystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD/PCOS). She told me that just by looking at me when she 1st met me (like my body shape & face etc) that I had it. I have hair on my chin (BAD!), and I am round around my waist, I don't have regular periods (and the doctor told me that when you don't have regular periods like I haven't that the build up could eventually cause cancer), & I have other symptoms of it. So she told me of some medication, Metformin, I could take & also gave me websites that I can look this thing up to know more about it. When the appointment was over & I was walking out I told the doctor that I think I will just go on the pill. She said that that may be the best thing if I am going to get on the medication (Metformin). I also told her I was glad she is my doctor & she humbly said, "aww gee thanks." So I am thinking about getting on the pill & starting that medication (Metformin). I like the idea of fixing my messed up hormones. I told my mom that I am sure she has it too. We are so much a like in the same ways. Her current doctor actually just put her on that medication (Metformin). I hope things go well. My doctor did say that it isn't a diet pill, but that it will help balance out my metabolism. Anyway I wanted to type this all down so I didn't forget about it.

Yikes! That's tough stuff. Pull out your scripture. They will help you feel peace and invite the spirit to guide you. Hang in there.
