The last couple of cycles I've been going through this weird thing were I spot, sometimes heavily, up to two weeks before my period. Just when I think I understand my cycles, something always comes up. I'm expecting to start my period on Friday but I've been spotting since last Tuesday. I wish I had asked my doctor to take hormone level tests to see if I have an imbalance. Oh wait, I already did that.
Of course looking up all my symptoms on WebMD is a total bust. Apparently I could possibly have one of the following illnesses:
- Endometriosis
- Miscarriage
- Ovarian cysts
- Premature labor (of course)
- Vaginitis (what the hell is that?)
- PCOS
- Chlamydia (I guess if we're covering all our bases, STD's shouldn't be left out)
- PMS
- UTI
- Fibroids
- Cancer
- Foreign object in the vagina (I'm not even going to go there)
Never mind the fact that almost every PMS symptom can also double as a pregnancy symptom and I find myself peeing on anything that looks remotely like a stick. Of course then I have to explain to Babe why there's a pregnancy test on the counter anytime he uses my bathroom. Couldn't God have made us with indicator lights? I would save a lot of money not freaking myself out thinking I'm experiencing premature labor and avoid the L&D when it's really just a foreign object in the vagina.
Tune in tomorrow when we discuss what Vaginitis is.
