I’m officially in menopause. I haven’t had a cycle in almost 2 years. But I’m still pissed that when I was going through perimenopause not a single f’king dr diagnosed it. Kept telling me that my hormones were “normal”
Without explaining to me what the f’k the new normal was! My cycles (that were extremely regular) had gone off track, my emotions were going everywhere, I was getting into funks that I’ve never experienced.
I’ve made it my goal when I speak to the younger generation, when we speak of “women issues” that I educated them about it. So they won’t be taken by surprised when it hits them and you feel like you are losing it when you don’t know what the hell is going on.
When it comes to not educating me from people that should know better, like doctors, I hold grudges. Hell, both hubby & I still pissed 25yrs later that I got pregnant a year after having a tubal ligation…..we did everything right not to have kids and that happened.
I don’t think the doctor did it correctly or securely since I was 24 at the time. But you sign a form stating that it is not guaranteed. But we still get mad when we think about it.
Hubby got fixed that fall…..and I went back on the pill for the next 15yrs because I trust nothing after that. Which I was trying to get off of when I went under…..ggrrr
