The nurse was very nice ^_^ Said I'm fat tho, lol (not in those words tho!) and that my blood pressure's the bad end of the ok range for someone my age (edging on high i think)
Anyhoo, after all the new patient stuff was out of the way, she asked if I had any questions so I asked about my stupidly long cycle. She went to ask a doctor and came back relaying the message that it can take longer than 6months for them to get back to normal and that store bought pregnancy tests are accurate enough for a negative on those to be right.
Bit dissapointed with that answer really. I mean, its already 4months, nearly 5 months since I came off the pill, and I'm *still* only on my 2nd cycle. I still want to know why this one's so much longer than my last one. What if I have some kind of problem that's going unnoticed? Surely not having a period for 80days is unhealthy too? I mean, other wise why the heck do we have periods. Its to allow the lining of the womb to have a break and rebuild after a week or so isnt it? *sigh*
So my biggest questions remain unanswered. Still, at least I can go see a doctor any time now.
