“Is off to see the gyno, the wonderful gyno of Jenna....” HAHAHHA, that was my Facebook status before I went to the doctor today, apparently people are less amused than I am! I love it! I think I am hilarious sometimes! So, Doctor G. didn't have much more to say than his nurse did 6 weeks ago. I have minor endometreitis (however that is spelled) which is minor growth on my pelvis from a leaking womb. He says I had 2 flecks of it. Because I must have looked pathetic, he told me that often the young women with flecks find it more painful than people who are practically taken over by it. Supposedly, this explains the pain I feel for tampons and sex, but I am not sure I understand the logic. What can I do Doc? Pretty much nothing. Keep taking your birth control and it should help them from developing in the future. I have been on birth control for 8 years Doc, and this kind for 4 of them. Why did the problem show up then? Because, it actually starts growing when you start menstruating (you know, way back when I was like 12) Supposedly, I am keeping these growths under control. He said that when I settle down and try to have children, I may find that my period comes heavy, with cramps. I was like what's the difference Doc? I have heavy periods, with cramps now. I guess I can only expect worse.... So, in the meantime, he thinks that eventually my spotting should stop, and I just carry on as I am. If I find it more painful that it currently is, I am to head on back to him and see what is going on now. Another 2 year wait! Yay! But, of course, that is only if I do not get better. Essentially what my birth control does is stop it from growing back in the same place that he burned it off of this time. Doesn't necessarily help anywhere else.... But, children should still be a definite possibility, despite all the problems I have had since I became sexually active back when I was 18. I see it as good news in that my family has not been jeopardized. I am a little frustrated that there is nothing we can do to prevent this in the future though. I am a little frustrated that this is not the end. I wanted him to find a real problem, one that we could fix. But, I guess not having a real problem is better than having a real problem. Just think of the horror I would have felt if my real problem was unfixable! So I have a not-so-real problem that is essentially unfixable, but, whatever, it is not a real problem right. And the extra good news, is my PAPS continue to come back clean. So that is what my Gyno has to say. And I have nothing else to say, so I am going outside to enjoy the sunshine again... I am hoping a friend calls me to say they are in town and have time for coffee, but other than that, no plans for today at all. I never know if I want to schedule life after a Gyno appointment or not.... sometimes I come home in tears, sometimes I come home in pain, and sometimes I come home just fine! Today is a just fine kinda day, so... I am off to enjoy it!

I love you!
