Well, I finally was able to get through to the ob/gyn that delivered my children. I didnt get a visit, but she did schedule for me to get my hormone levels checked, and my thyroid checked (again) and another blood test that was supposed to check for polyps or something. Those tests came back negative, so everything with my blood work is fine. She wants me to keep a "period diary" (its what im calling it LOL.) to keep track of how often I get my periods. Kind of freaked me out when I went a month and a half without my period at all!!! Yeah, I totally missed my period for the month of October! Thats what made me finally break down and call the ob/gyn lol. I do have an appointment set up... but in January. She said thats the soonest she could get me in (rolls eyes). Now, on top of all of this crap... Ive started to have a tooth ache the last 3 days. I swear... if its not one thing, its another! Good thing we finally got our insurance cards... because I'll definitely be using it!

Just wait. It does get better. I sometimes skip *3* months at a time. The hot flashes are horrendous. I can break down in a good sweat in the freezer department of a grocery store. I've been doing this off and on for about 4 years now. I got to make that doctor's appointment, also. I want some help with these hot flashes. LOL Maybe, I should start keeping a diary...

Well the thing is... they did a blood test to check my hormone levels to see if I could possibly be pre-menopausal... and they said my hormone levels were fine! Plus, I am only 24 years old, but I had a tubal after my daughter was born and Ive read that they can cause premature menopause so with all the other symptoms I was having, I thought thats what it might be... turns out, the doc says its not (she doesnt believe tubals can cause premature menopause anyway). Im just baffled as to whats going on with my body. Personally, I am more concerned over my screwy periods and horrible mood swings than I am anything else.... just trying to figure it all out, ya know. The mood swings arent good for my kids to be around and they are wearing on my marriage.
