Confused as ever.

Let me start just like this. For two months now, I have been confused as to why and what my body is going through. I haven been having the symptoms of what Husband and I have gathered from the internet appears to be the menopause IS here.

  • Missed two months of menstrual period.
  • Been having the hot flashes, at least that's what I think it was. I would be feeling so hot and sweaty then it will go away in matter of minutes. Comes the chills afterwards. That happened so often in an hour for at least a month..
  • I had been feeling dizzy once in a while. 
We thought that we could be pregnant too. So we did what we had to do, pregnancy test. We bought two packets of those pregnancy kit and all the four sticks told us that NEGATIVE! Still got worried because my weight somehow was up. I know when I say 3 lbs maybe shouldn't be a big deal but totally want to be on the safe side.. so, to put that to rest, called the doctor and had blood work done on Wednesday..August 17, 2011.
I wanted to have this confused silly self recorded for many reasons. For one thing, I am very forgetful and I need something I can go back to read or something to refer to..

So, had to call the doctor yesterday to find out the results of the blood work. There were 6 little tubes that the girl filled up with my blood and had all my name on it. Plus I had also the "urination" cup to filled in. She made me read all the labels to make sure it was my name which I think is very safe and I like it that way.

Doctor told me this with my husband had his ear close enough to my cell for him to hear too.
  • You are not pregnant.. 
  • The test didn't look you are in menopausal stage.
  • You are Iron deficient.  And tell me what is happening with you.. I replied " well for one thing, I have missed my period for two months now".. he asked me to pause and he said, the test looks as if you lost a lot of red blood which a woman would be going through when she has periods.. " What appears or seems like that we need to look at more other test to see what is happening. We cannot ignore this missing stuff.. I understand that you have an appointment on Sept and we are not going to wait that long. I want you to call us back on Monday. " I said, okay.. and thank you for your time.. and we hanged up.
So, with that notes, we are hanging. I don't know what to think of this.. I started thinking family health history to sort of have an idea what I may have.. but I can't find one..

Hubby went online to find out things and came up with a lot more confusing stuff. I told him and we agreed that we are not going to speculate more since there is nothing we can do right now. I don't want to worry anything. At least we know we are NOT pregnant and way more enough for me to know.

Funny all that was happening. Last night, I had seen little blot of red spots in my undies.  Wore a very light pad for it and tada.... this morning I am officially having my period.. So here I am blogging it.

I don't think I will be doing any running today. I will take everything easy. Not sure if vacuuming is consider as light work.. HUH.. but whatever, I will have to clean the house. Cobwebs are everywhere now in the house, so hate it.

bye for now.
