Caution: Girl Stuff

[wendybeth]

I'm with the find a new doc crowd.


I can't take the Pill, or any hormones. I have a problem with the ones my own body produces- so much so that my doc offered to give me a shot that would send me into early menopause. (I declined, as I am in no hurry to deal with that situation). If I could have used the Pill to skip periods I would have done so in a heartbeat, but now that I'm older I probably would be worrying about the possible side effects. What's safe this decade will be deemed deadly next, or so it seems. I guess you just have to weigh the pros and cons and decide if the risk is worth it, but it helps to have a doc who is well versed in hormone therapies and wants to give you the best care and advice they can.
