Hi Anita & Zeeza

I’d like to acknowledge that you both replied, thank you for your support 🙂 I suppose I’ll break down my feminine health history for you.

I first started my period when I was 12. This first period lasted maybe 5 days at the most, after that I did not have another for several months. Between the time I was 12-20 I never had a regular/consistent period. Around the time I turned 20, I had been having the longest, heaviest, most painful period I had ever had to experience. It was April 2018 when I went to get checked out while having this terrible experience with my period. I received inconclusive lab and vaginal examination results. The only thing that was concluded after that visit was that I am very anemic. I was then put on a birth control pill to cause me to have a regular flow. Immediately after starting the pill I began having a regulated period (actually just withdrawal bleeding but let’s just continue referring to it as a period lol). My periods were lasting a good 3 days a month for 1 whole year, until I stopped using due to my prescription running out. I did not go back to renew the prescription because I don’t mind not having a period, which is how it essentially always is if I am not taking BC and because I was no longer very sexually active. Between April/May 2019 when I stopped taking BC and December 2020, I had very few natural menses. This past December I decided to start taking BC again due to being very sexually active again and to ensure that pregnancy is prevented. During that month I ended up getting my period and it lasted about 2 weeks, for me it wasn’t what I expected but also wasn’t too bad. Come the beginning of January I began having really bad abdominal/pelvic pain. I am usually a trooper because I didn’t have a primary doctor for the longest time so I would avoid going to be seen, however at this time I ended up making a trip to the ER because the pain and discomfort was so intense. After having tests done, hours later I leave with no answers but at least medicated so I felt better for the night. About a day later I started my period once again, and it would last for about two weeks again, this made me start to think my pain was definitely related to my period problems. So come February I’m still taking this BC pill, hoping that my period starts to regulate itself now that this is the third month that I have been taking the same pill that made me flow normally in the past. The bleeding started right at the beginning of the month and lasted until March 1st. I was so fed up with the irregularity at this point I decided I would stop taking the BC. So here I am nearly 5 months later and I have all the symptoms but no period and obviously not pregnant and I take tests routinely. With it having been on my mind heavily anyways and a couple of really close ladies in my life opening my eyes with their all of a sudden feminine issues, I decided to find myself a primary doctor who is an OBGYN, and get myself checked up. So I had an appointment this month on the 8th, where my doctor and I spoke about what’s been going on and she decided to order more labs to have done along with an ultrasound. I got the labs done within that week, and had my ultrasound done last week. I was viewing the results on my chart online, and saw that my doctor had left notes saying that everything looks essentially normal and we will go over this when I go to see her again which will be August 4th, where I will have my first pap smear done as well. I want my body to work the way it’s supposed to, or at least know why it isn’t working how it should. I would like to know if I’m totally infertile, if I’ve got some random disease or whatever any other case could be.

Thanks for reading if you did
