 I'm so sick of doctors!
I am so sick of the way the healthcare system works. I'm breastfeeding and the only bcp I can take is a progesterone only pill. According to my gynie, hematologsit, and endocrinologist, I need to be on a pill to control all of the bleeding episodes I have. My gynie and hemat. feel that I need the pill to keep me from bleeding so much and so frequently. Overall they have both given me the impression that it is ok not to have a regular AF for a while. When I got diagnosed with pcos, my endo made it seem like it would be optimal for me to have a regular AF. At the same time, he did feel like I should stay on my current pill for a bit.
I haven't had a period at all in 3 months. So I called my gynie's office yesterday to see if I could go off the pill for a period. My fear is that if I don't get AF soon, when I do it is going to be seriously heavy and last forever. She agreed to me going off of it and if the bleeding gets bad I have to call my hemat. for a drug to help my blood clot. Geez! I wish I could just deal with 1 doctor!
When I saw the hemat. I could tell that he did not seem comfortable dealing with gynie related issues. He basically told me to just stay on bcps and if the bleeding couldn't be controlled to get a hysterectomy. The von Willebrand's Disease that I have is very mild so he said I didn't even need to see him again. Now I find out that he's the one I have to call to get the clotting meds if needed. I don't get why my gynie can't just prescribe that if I'm having a problem.
