Urgently looking for answers
Hi! So I’ve been to a couple of specialist and am suspected of having endo, I have not been formally diagnosed due to the fact that I cannot afford the $6000 out of pocket expense that is not covered to do the surgery for the diagnosis.
I have been dealing with the classic endo symptoms since reaching puberty, I am 23 now.
I am now dealing with something extremely abnormal and am not sure if it is related and I am feeling extremely anxious because my doctor didn’t have any answers for me. I am scheduled for an ultrasound on Monday so I can provide an update if I get one.
My periods are usually right on time, maybe a day early or a day late if anything but this past period I got a week early. It was unlike any period I’ve had before… no cramping but still some bloating and other pms symptoms. The even more odd part is it lasting for 8 days when it’s never lasted more than 4 sometimes a little spotting on day 5.
I am now extremely worried because it stopped on day 8 but a couple days later (day 11, today) it started back up and I am now getting hit with cramping and EXTREME mood swings. Like so severe to where I could not stop uncontrollably crying, extreme anxiety, extremely sensitive, etc. I mean I literally thought I was dreaming because of how messed up my head was. I’m now being a Google doctor which is always the worst and now I’ve freaked myself out even more (why does Google always convince me I have cancer??)
Anyways I’m getting bloodwork done tomorrow and ultrasound on Monday so I will update. But I need to know if anyone has dealt with a crazy abnormal period? I don’t have a mom or any women in my life I can ask so please if you can I’d love to hear your experiences. Thank you!
Side note: I tested negative for pregnancy while at the doctors office so anything pregnancy related wouldn’t help.
