    I read that whole thread (omg). I think they were more dumbfounded by the fact that you legitimately have no idea how your period works or what it is, are trying to get pregnant, but don't want to research how your body works. 

     

    Uh that isn't true. I do research how my body works.

    I just can not believe this. You said you read TCOYF but you thought chunks of blood coming out during your period were the un-fertilized egg(s).

    I did read the book but I read this book AFTER I started taking the pill. I was 24 when I started taking the pill. I only read the book last year.

    Someone already told me that. I prefer human support. Everyone else is getting support on here so why can't I?

    K.

    I'm just going off what you said in the other thread about you not wanting to chart because it was too much work and not knowing how your period works. The whole period thing *is* pretty stunning.

    ETA: Oh, and what Lacey said.  

     

    I didn't chart because it was frustrating not because it was too much work. I don't get how to do it because again I have an LD. So that is why I found it frustrating.

    Everyone else is getting it here because they've been here longer than a day.

  • I don't understand why you aren't asking your doctors questions. I get that you have a LD & may not understand some things but that means you need to be even more proactive. ASK QUESTIONS! Knowledge is power. You are having a procedure soon but don't know what for exactly or what it will tell you in regards to your fertility. Quit being a bystander.

    I'm not trying to be snarky; I am legitimately curious. 

    If you thought those were blod clots, or eggs, or whatever, during your period, you wouldn't say "Hey doc? WTF is happening?"

    Or what made you think that your period went to your baby when you got pregnant?

    I'm honest to god trying to understand this.  

     

    When I started having all that I had I just graduated college and moved out to Hawaii to be with my husband, then fiance. I didn't have a doctor and when I was set up with one, I didn't give what happened to me a second thought since it was gone by then. And as for the other part, I thought that the baby got nutrients from my blood. My mind said placenta but I typed it out wrong. But by then the damage was wrong and everyone was already having a field day making fun of me.

    I have been asking some questions but for the most part I am still set in that mind set that the doctor would make fun of me. That is why I read more than ask people the questions. When I was a kid, the other kids made fun of me because of my LD. After that I shut down and hardly ever asked questions. Yes even if it is in regards to my health. I do better when I am not face to face with people to ask questions. It is how I have been. I am getting away form that but it's still hard for me.

    I'm still confused.

    You thought the baby got nutrients through blood?  

     

    Yes I did...but I know that it comes from the placenta and not the blood. But like I said the damage was already done.

    Dude, that's what the doctors are there for. To answer your health related questions. 

    If you want to have kids, you need to speak up. If you want to be healthy and a grown up, you need to speak up. If a doctor laughs at you or makes you uncomfortable, you get a new doctor. It's not rocket science.  

     

    I know that it isn't rocket science but like I said it is hard to get out of that mind set. And don't worry with this change of events about me having to take fertility tests, I will be asking more questions.

  • On the side note..Lace you and I share something in common. Smile I actually only know three others with the name Lacey. Only one was in HS, others I met by chance. And a funny thing was out here in Cali there use to be a store called Lacey's Jewelry. And my dad found a place in Alaska named after us. lol

  • I have an LD.  It's never stopped me from doing anything.  Don't use yours as a crutch.  I don't intend for this to sound mean.  I intend for it to be an eye opener for you.  How are you going to help your child through school if you can't take charge of your own body by educating your self to your best ability?  You are your only advocate.  

    If some one laughs at your questions, ask some one else.   Not every one out there is an ass.

    So learn to write your questions down before you go. Some doctors will even take questions via e-mail.
