A missed period is often the first sign that you're pregnant. But what if you've missed, and you're not pregnant?
It freaks me out, totally! My period has always be on constant regular basis, one's that knock on me monthly except for when i was pregnant for Adam lah of course. Recently, just very recently i missed my period. The last one i had was in November, and coming to date, i have not had my cycle for a month and plus. Being curious, i brave myself and took the pregnancy test about 2 weeks ago to check whether if i am pregnant. BUT it came out nayyyy..Negative! Maybe it was a false reading, so i took the test again to re-assure and the result came out to be the same. Negative. No period and not pregnant??? YES i was down in disappointment, nothing beats the real (maybe i put hope a lil bit too high).
Oh did i not mention? We have started executing for our second one since September and the attempt seem no avail to date. Hence the disappointment. I was left with a question boggling in mind, if not pregnant then what could possibly went wrong to my monthly cycle? I sat down and ponder. Heart was beating like a drum rolls. So i told husband and seek for what he has to say on the matter. 'Lebih baik kite jumpe doktor pakar. Kalau betul tak pregnant, tak apelah, belum rezeki adam nak dapat adik.. at least kite dapat tahu kenapa period tak datang..i takut fibroid ke ape ke..'- he responded.
After much deliberation, we both consented seeking opinion from the expert. Went to Az-Zahrah Specialist this morning with so many 'what-if' in mind. What if there's a cyst? What if the doctor diagnose it's fibroid and it's at crucial stage? What if suddenly the doctor say am in need to undergo surgery? The most extreme that i came to vision - what if i won't be able to be pregnant again? I kid you not. Too many what if's..I was scared. The waiting game at the clinic had further enhance my inferiority, all at the back of my head.
And somehow, Alhamdulillah, according to the doctor, my reproduction system are normal, no sign of cyst or any unwanted gland, uterus all seems normal. On that point of view, Alhamdulillah i couldn't be any relieve. The doctor then consulted, among normal diagnosis, delayed in period and not pregnant may be due to hormonal imbalance. She said "Women of all ages may experience hormonal imbalance. Every month, the female hormones estrogen and progesterone are produced. When estrogen and progesterone levels do not balance, this may have a dramatic effect on your health"..*now heart beat plays drum rolls again*
She further added, hormonal imbalance take place normally when the body is stressed out, excessive weight loss & weight gain, change in medication or any severe illness. Gahhh! Now i know where my case stands. OVERWEIGHT!*feel like screaming to the world* Yeah so i admit to the doctor i had double the size of my pre pregnancy. *boo ho ho* We discussed, she throws in few more questions (a very nice lady doctor she is) and concluded prescribing me 'provera-progestine hormone' - helping to restore balance to hormonal levels and at the same time i must work with her on reducing weight! *hate rice-hate rice-hate rice*
In 10 days of medication prescription, if there's still no bleeding indication, will need to come and see her again. Holistic remedies is also recommended according to the doctor. Now that's the problem. I'm bald when talking on per say. I do not know which is actually needed in my case.Hmm. So now i'm telling the world, i shall -no more contemplating- be back on my dietary regimes. MUST!
