I went to Gyno Land again

(I've decided to start referring to these gynaecology appointments as,"going to Gyno Land" because it just sounds so much more exciting that way!) I saw a gynaecologist yesterday. If you don't want to wait too long in the waiting room, I recommend arriving early. I mean, ridiculously early. Yesterday I arrived at the hospital forty minutes or so before my appointment. I sat down and then gave a nurse my letter. She took my letter, then she took somebody else's letter, then she gave that letter to a different nurse and said,"You take her. I'll take this lady." Then she asked me to follow her. I was escorted into a consulting room and less than five minutes later, the consultant arrives. It was a different consultant this time, which I was initially uneasy about. I feel like having a different consultant means explaining everything all over again. Everything was written down in my while, but at one point she asked me something a bit technical and I just went blank. I just stared at her and I was like,"Is that not written down?" She was very nice, though and encouraged me to ask questions (she even offered to take my bit of paper off me and look at the questions herself!) She was nice and straight to the point and I like that in my consultants and doctors. After some recapping, and her leaving the room to inquire about something, she prescribed me with progesterone. I have it, but because I'm relatively pain free between periods I don't have to start the course of it till my next period. The annoying thing was that she asked me when my next period was, and I said I didn't know because they were so irregular. Then she asked me AGAIN when my next period would be. I JUST TOLD YOU THAT I DON'T KNOW, LADY! I have been properly stressing over this. I think I made it into such a bigger deal in my head. No-one ever asked me what I wanted to do with the thyroid stuff. Not that that's a bad thing. I'm just not used to a doctor saying,"What would YOU like to do?" I started doing a lot of research, but that got a bit overwhelming. I was pretty sure of my decision, but as it got closer to my appointment I started second-guessing myself. Admittedly, I am still slightly second-guessing myself but I'll just wait till I've had a few cycles to see how it's worked, and if it didn't then I'll just try something different! Aaaaas usual, I was overthinking it all! This progesterone business will not be as stressful as I thought. I don't have to take them at a specific time. I just have to space the dosages out. If I miss a dose, I just take the next one at the time I would normally take it. If you were thinking to yourself,"But Adele, you HATE having to take a bunch of medication!" You are right. I do. However, after a lot of thought I decided to give it a shot. I might not like all this medication, but I dislike the pain even more! The course of progesterone will be 90 days long, and by the time I'm done with that I'll be due to have another appointment and we'll see if the treatment had any effect. There won't be a scan, or anything. They'll just ask me how I feel. Less rubbish, hopefully!
