just want to vent/ask for advice, plz help
when i was younger, i used to have mg period for months at a time. i lived with my dad and grandmother, who aren’t very caring people and make me feel bad about everything, so i always felt weird about talking to them about it. my mom and i weren’t close at the time. i’m also very anxious and have kept to myself since i was little. my friend blurted it out to my grandmother (i thank her every day for that, because i never would’ve told) and so i went to the doctor.
i was put on birth control without any sort of labs or assessments at all.
flash forward, i got off of birth control around 6 month ago. the first few periods were about a week late, but i still got them and they lasted five days
after the first few, my period was almost three whole months late. i had been getting negative pregnancy tests and all, so it wasn’t that.
now, i have my period, but it’s lasted about three weeks and it is so abnormal. there were only a few days of red stretchy discharge. the rest has been dark dark brown or milky brown and watery.
i mentioned it to my doctor and she said i should see a gynecologist.
i want to see someone and get this figured so badly. it’s making me SAD because idk what’s going on with my body, just that it’s not normal. i have a boyfriend, so if i tell my patents i want to see a gyno, they’ll assume the worst and yell at me or ignore me (they always do, acting like strangers).
please help.
