Unique and unusual case, feel like I am lossing it! I had irregular periods ever since I started them. I was dx only with irregular periods and placed on BCP to keep them regular by my family physician. It wasn't until I got married and we tried to concieve and I went 18mons with no period and not pregnancy that I decided to seek out a actual OB/Gyn to have my paps instead of my primary care physician.
I had unwanted lip hair and side burns that went all the way down the sides of my face that I had plucked as long as I could remember, I just figurd that it was more noticable cause I have black hair. Well some how I ended up getting myself an appointment at a teaching doctors office they had licensed physicians as well but there were several there doing residence as well. A friend of mine had been going there and was really impressed so I said ok. Well it was crazy all the test that were ran. Scan after scan, test after test big bill after big bill. Honestly the medical bills got so bad that we had to file bankruptcy and eventually let our house go back. To this day we rent and that was 8 years ago.
So anyway in one of the scans they found that I had no portal vein to my liver!!!!!!! Which in itself is a medical marvel according to the doctor, there are only 4-6 cases know that he could find. So what does that do for cleansing your blood since the liver rids your body of all toxins?! Alot!!!! Try this my testosterone level was 720!! Higher than the average mans!!!! The deoctors were surprised that I didn't have a full fledge beard and a winky!! Crazyer than that BCP regulates it. But as soon as I go off them it rockets! They told me that I would never have children my case was so bad even with invitro he said I could never carry it. I was 20 when they told me that I was crushed I mean thats what makes us women! I think that was in Dec that they told me that. I was going to college and on 2/8 the following year I remember leaving school thinking I would die, I was so sick. I had went the friday or sat before and they said I had strep if I didn't get better or it got worse to come back. Well this was mon. My husband was working over and I remember calling my mom crying and telling her to send my dad to get me I felt so bad I didn't want to be alone. He came to get me and my mom being a mom took my temp it was 102, she immediately took me to the doctor. Of course any good doctor wants a PT before treatment of any child bearing age women. The nurse came and said me need to take a PT and I told her it was a waste of time and money it had been medically provden that I couldn't get pregnant. She said we have to have it in order to treat you. So of course being sick and neeeding medicine I went and did it. I didn't bit more get to the room and get the door shut and the nurse came and stuck her head in and said I don't know what doctor you've been going to but you're soooo pregnant. I was balling my eyes out and my mom was horse laughing.I called the doctor the next day and told them I had been told I couldn't get pregnant but was and needed to see the doctor asap. Went in for the US and he said we may see the gestational sac if anything, well he was wrong the whole baby was in there I was 8.5weeks. He said I don't know how this happened and I told him there's a higher power and a greater physician.
During my pregnancy I did ok for the most part my testosterone was elevated but leveled out at about 150 I think but that put the baby at increased risk of bring born woth noth genitalia, since I was having a girl. Well I ended up having protein in my urine I did 24hr urines till I was sick of it and stress tests, I ended up having BP difficulties and was even hospitalized once for my BP. I ended up having a c-section 2weeks early. And needless to say the day of my surgery the doctor wanted to do exploritory surgery to see if I had any other altered antaomy and biopsy my ovaries. And the results of that was enlarged spleen, nodule on my liver and the biopsy showed that the excess testosterone was coming from none other than the ovaries. My daughter was healthy 7lbs 11oz. I got pregnant again and miscarried and since the miscarriage have been on countless rounds of clomid and famira and even did a IUI which didn't take. I was told since the excess was coming from the ovaries when I was doen trying to have children I should have a hysterectomy.
I'm so frustrated and depressed. I was the only child and know how I hated it and my daughter wants a brother or sister what child dosen't. We can't afford invitro or adoption. So I had went off my pills and honestly my body kind of regulated itself for about 3-4 mons, now I have not had a period in 70 days, about 3 weeks ago I went thru this pink discharge thing for about a week, now for about 2 weeks I have had the sorest boobs and the worset stomach pains. I mean pain that makes you nauseated it hurts so bad, constant one day and intermittent the next. I am so fat and my hair has gotten worse on my lip sides of face and chin in the past week, I have always been hard on myself as far as looks go. I lose 5lbs and put 10 back on, I am so depressed!!! My husband loves me but dosne't understand all of this. He thinks I feel sorry for myself and gives me a hard time about my weight and says I'm not motivated and thats another thing for the past month I have been so exhausted. I am a nurse and I work on my feet all day long and last week I had to leave one day the pain was so bad. I am just down and out looking for advice. |
