This past weekend, I reported I was having a real prolonged period.
On Sunday, I felt like crap. I took myself to the ER. They did a bunch of bloodwork and the ER doc there said my pelvic exam was normal. I went home; was there 3 hours.
I saw my GP on Monday. He said to me, "See a gyn; this isn’t my specialty." He gave me a script for progesterone which I did not take.
On Tuesday, I saw the gyn. There is a nice big fibroid in there — how the blast did the ER doc MISS it??? He gave me meds to stop my period; he says the abnormal bleeding will happen again with the next period I have. He also did a biopsy which hurt like hell; am waiting on the results for that.
This kills me that not one doc will even say "It could be x, y or z" — I think they’re all afraid of being sued so this is why they offer no opinion.
