I finally got in to Pope Paul Institute, I'm not seeing Dr. Hilgers (hes booked until the end of July) but seeing the female doctor there (forgot her name) I am so excited about going, but worried that everyone there will put me off to! Here my story its long beware lol!
Had my first baby in June of 2004. After I had her I had severe depression. Couldnt get myself to care about much at all...the thought of getting up in the moring was horrible, even though I had this brand new baby I wanted all my life
totally not me! Of course my MD says okay heres some anti depresants, didnt take them though caus they scare me so I just lived with it. I lost all my weight (50 pounds) that I gained durring the pregnancy in about the first 2 months (August) but by Christmas time I looked like I was pregnant again...I had gained back about 60 pounds! Okay so I was eating alittle more (its hard to stop after being pregnat you know
) I was staying home with the baby, but I still didnt understand that much of a weight gain...10, 20 pounds maybe but not right back were I started from
We started trying to have DD #2 in April of 2005. We concieved finally in October of 2005. NOt that it took forever, just longer then the first time of 1 month!
After I had dd #2 my everything about me has gone down hill!
In November 2006 my throat felt really full so I went to the doctor and they said they could feel the right side of my thyroid was really big. They put me on syntroid and sent me up for an ultrasound. While I was on Synthoid about 2 months I felt GREAT, just completley wonderful! I had my ultrasound and they saw nothing abnormal just that it was big and took me off syntyroid. I now feel terrible. No energy, dont care about doing anything again excetra...
In June of 2007 I have a hudge panic attack that sends me to the ER thinking I am for sure having a heart attack. I see my family doctor and he says I just need to calm down, how about some anti depresants...I am again say no cause I hate how they make me feel!
The rest of the summer I worry about dying everyday, panic everyday and can hardley care for my kids of my house. I'm still gaining weight...who knows why and I feel like crap. So I go back to the doc and say give me the anti depressants. They help take the edge off and at least I dont think about death all day everyday.
In september I get my period a week early and it never really stops. In november I call my doctor since I had no insurance and ask what he thinks. He says its because I am STILL breastfeeding. So I live with it until March when I go in and he sends me to an ob. The ob wants to do a d and c end of story for a thickend endometrial lining. I have a hard time with GA and really dont want to be put out, so I ask if we can try something like progesterone first. She says no she just want to get it out, cause of the risk of cancer associated with a thickend liniing. I'm only 26 so she says there is 0 to little chance thats what it is but still says no to progesterone. So here I am waiting to go to pope paul. What do you think will they say the same thing? Will they be willing to test for all these other things as well as PCOS (not that I want to have it) I just have a stronge feeling I do. I'm just so tierd of wasnting money and time! Thanks for any help!
Going to Pope Paul in 6 days!
