Hi Loretta, thank you for the reply. I understand your concern, but I
know I cannot be pregnant because my husband had a vasectomy 5 years ago
and he is my only sexual partner, so I know I could not be pregnant in
any way. I called the doc the other day to set up the appointment, and
they said they were going to try to get me in sooner than the 23rd, but
they never called back. I am also due for a Pap, it's been about 3
years since my last one, so I'm thinking of waiting till the bleeding
stops before I get the pap done. My insurance is self pay unfortunately
and very expensive, so if I can lump it all into one doctor visit, the
less it will cost me.
My cramps are subsiding a bit now. Maybe the Tylenol is helping. But I
still have that pressure feeling down low and pain in my back. I know
after a few days, the pain will subside completely, and I'll just wait
till my next cycle to see if it happens again. Sometimes it does,
sometimes it doesn't, but the past couple days have definitely been the
worst ever. I'm sick and tired of having a uterus. I don't have a need
for one anymore since I'm done having kids.
