Re: should I go or not?From: Colleen (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 15 Jun 2003 16:06:26 -0500 (CDT)
You are a teenager and it isn't uncommon to have irregular periods.Mine went from regular to irregular last year and I had a lot of pelvic pain too.I was almost 16.I had an ultrasound that showed no cysts or fibroids so I waited a few more months.The pain was horrible so I finally found a good gyno and made an appointment just to ease my mind.She said I must have endometriosis,which makes sense because my sister has it and it is a hereditary disease.She put me on the pill.And guess what?I didn't need a pelvic exam either.Im a virgin like you.I've been told that your period should be regular if youve had it about 3 years.So if you really are concerned,find a nice doctor and make an appointment.
