Period
Today I got my period for the first time in 5 and a half years. OMG I am so annoyed. I was hoping to never have to deal with this again. It was my silver lining for my treatment.
I finished triptorelin (injections that stop the ovaries working) six months ago and when I had my checkup a couple of weeks ago they suggested that since it hadn't come back yet it wasn't going to come back. I'm not sure if I need to tell the hospital it has come back after all, or just wait until my next appointment n six months. I guess I can email the research nurse who is in charge of the clinical trial I'm in to let her know - even if she doesn't care at least I'll have covered my bases.
I have a mild stomach ache right now. I wonder if this will be a bad period - the last one I had (a week or so after I started the triptorelin) was a bad one which I assume was due to the treatment starting to mess things up.
I had to go to the shops and buy supplies. I felt really embarrassed because I was out of practice and couldn't remember which brands I used to like.
This is really depressing - does this mean I'll have to go through menopause symptoms again when I get to real menopause?? That is one reason I wanted it to never come back as I don't want to go through the hot flushes again.
On the plus side I guess this is good for my bones. Unless this just means they'll have to take action to stop it again. I feel like doctors have said contradictory things about what we would do it if came back. I can't really remember.
Anyway, I feel kind-of ill at the moment and I'm trying to figure out how to process this new development.
