Worried :(

Thanks for all the help everyone! I have been so tired on top of all this.. I fell asleep after work for 2 hours, and then woke up for 3 hours, and fell asleep for another 8 hours. Before I went to bed for the night, I had the worst cramps I've had in probably 5 years. All I could do was lay flat in bed, even sitting at the computer was too painful! I ended up sleeping an hour past my alarm this morning. But today it looks like it may have passed already. I hope it's just the one day.
Ponyup, thanks for letting me know your experience. I always get my bad cramping the week before my period, but I'm usually fine the week of.
My mind is more at ease just hearing from all of you! I'm well overdue for a pap anyway so I will make an appointment for that as soon as I can get in, and just mention the rest of this stuff to my doctor while I'm there.

Try putting a heating pad over your belly or talking a warm bath, that should help with the cramps.

My period is extremely irregular if I'm not on the pill... extremely irregular meaning it might come every 4 - 5 months or two times in one month. Crazy.
But I started on the pill about 3 years ago and that MOSTLY cleared it up, but I still have weirdness every now and then. I'm usually not late, but there have been times that I'll randomly start my period twice in a month. It's usually not as heavy the second time, but it's like you said, Lindsey, it's enough that it's there.
I've never been to a doctor about it, because I talked to my aunt (RN) about it and she said she didn't think it was anything major since my period was already rather strange. That said, since your period has always been normal, it might be a good idea to call a doctor and ask.
My first instinct when I read your post was that it's not really a big deal, though... just an annoyance.
Try not to worry too much.

Make that appointment right away because it's always better to find out it's nothing right away, then spend energy worrying about things that aren't happening. Too much stress!

Sound's much like the problem my friend has had in the past her's was endometriosis.

I really hope it's not that. I just came home for lunch to call and make an appointment, but it turns out everyone who works at my dr's office has the same lunch break as me! I guess I'll just extend my lunch break.

Lindsey · 01-22-2009, 12:06 PM

Okay I made an appointment. I can't get in until Feb. 25th!

Mandy · 01-22-2009, 02:36 PM

I agree with the other ladies Lindsey, go see the doctor ASAP.... if you cant get in till the 25th of next month, go ahead and find a doctor that will see you THIS week.

HUGS!!

My goodness that is a long way away, is that with your general dr or a gyne?. Try not to worry I know it is easy to say but try to feel posative. xx
