I have changed doctor several times. I first went at about 16, saying something was wrong with me. I didn't go into too much details, as I was terrified with my OCD symptoms they would get me drugged or in psychiatric care, but I knew that something wasn't right as I had light sensitivity, always cold, migraines, and pins and needles in the night, aswell as tremor and yeast infections. He said nothing wrong with me. A couple of years later I tried another doctor when I got bad thrush, said the same thing. So I went back against a year later saying something was still wrong with me and my periods not regular. I had some tests done and told nothing wrong with me and to come back if I ever wanted a baby. This was weird to me. First they say nothing wrong with me, and then to come back for help if I want to get pregnant, which means there was something wrong with me. So, I went to another doctor. She had some tests done and said nothing wrong with me. I was about 25 by now and hardly getting any periods, so I went to another doctor. I had some tests and told nothing wrong with me and I should go on the pill. I wasn't having this, so I went to another doctor. She had some more tests done, which were normal, but I said there is something wrong with me and I want to see an ob-gyn because it's not right to get no periods. So, she booked me in to see one. I eventually got diagnosed with PCOS, which I had mentioned as a possibility several doctors ago, and told I need hormone therapy.
Anyway, so far I haven't taken the hormone therapy (rightly or wrongly, but that's my choice so I can only blame myself if it's wong) and am waiting to see if my periods improve as I treat myself for mercury poisoning. So far I have have 2 periods (though very scanty) since getting some removals, which suggests to me I am on the right track, but only time will tell. Previously I hadn't got periods for the best part of 2 years.
