girly stuff

iesikaWent to the girly doctor yesterday for the Period From Hell, and apparently have more wrong with my girly stuff than I thought. I could be looking at surgery. I spent hours getting poked and prodded in uncomfortable places, and stuck with needles and such. They even did an ultrasound, which was bizarre, because everyone kept assuming I was supposed to be pregnant. Anyway, I'll know in 2 weeks to a month if I'm going to need an outpatient-type procedure or even surgery.
I've been put on supplements, as I was anemic from all the blood loss (which kills me, because I've been eating lots of iron rich food as a precaution, and it wasn't enough). The iron tablets are making me a bit ill and giving me gastrointestinal distress on top of my girly-parts distress (which I expected - hence my altering my diet instead of buying the $6 supplements).
Truth be told, I'd rather prefer to have the whole mess removed so I won't have to deal with this anymore. I've known since I was 9 that I didn't want to have kids. I may adopt or, more likely, do foster care, some day, when I am financially stable. I just figure there are too many kids who need a good home - in my mind it's a bit like getting a dog from the shelter rather than a breeder. That's how I saw it at 9, when I got my first dog and made the connection. I can remember being very upset, because one of my friends was in foster care, and at the same time my mom's friend was in fertility treatment because she wanted it to be "her" baby. Not that I think there's anything wrong with having a baby the natural way, it's just not for me.
