First Visit to the Gynecologist

3/31/14
Today was my first visit to a gynecologist.  I am only twelve, and I didn't expect to see this type of doctor until I was ready to have kids.  However, the cool thing about is that this is the same doctor that delivered me and my brother.

When he asked me certain questions, he would slip up and ask about "intercourse".  I did not know what that meant at the time, but my mom told me after the appointment.  I guess he doesn't see a lot of girls my age.

After hearing that I started my period at the age of nine and then stopping about three months later, he decided to try putting my on birth control to regulate my periods.

I had a 3D transabdominal ultrasound today, but nothing turned up abnormal.  I had to drink a lot of water before the appointment.  Apparently, I drank too much because the technician said my bladder was too full.  She made me pee just a little bit so that she could do the exam.  Do you know how hard that is when you REALLY have to go?

After answering a lot of questions, my doctor decided to schedule a laparoscopic surgery for the end of June so that I don't have to miss my soccer and volleyball camps.

Today was my pre-op appointment.  When the doctor saw my huge cast (I broke both bones in my wrist at soccer camp on 6/12), he decided to postpone my surgery until the huge cast was off.

The birth control that I was on made my periods start back pretty quickly, but we noticed that I would throw up more the week before and the week of my period.  My doctor decided to switch me to Quartette so that I only have a period every three months.
