Emo cervix
Number of doctor/nurse appointments this week: 4
Amount of money I have spent on prescription drugs this month (WITH insurance): $100
Number of additional tests kitty doctor said I could have done if I wanted to: 2
Number I agreed to: 1, but only because I had to get blood drawn anyway.
This is why I am almost afraid to bring little things up to my doctors. Somehow, it always gets blown out of proportion.
Here’s the thing…(guys, stop reading. go somewhere else, this is gross girl talk involving blood from places.)
I tend to bleed a bit after sex. This has been going on for a good long time now. At first, I thought it was because Kev and I were becoming a little more…*ahem*…vigorous in our lovemaking. But it’s been a good long while now, and it seems like, I don’t know, I should have gotten over that by now. Developed a callus, or something (AHAAHA!! SEXY! CALLUSED KITTY!). But nope - still a leeetle bit bloody, every time.
So I tell her. And oh good lord, it could be anything or nothing.
And she brings up polycystic ovarian disease…AGAIN. Because I’m fat. Every. Damned. Time. Lady, I haven’t “suddenly” become fat. I’ve ALWAYS been fat. And I’m not getting bacne, and I don’t all of a sudden have hairy nipples (all symptoms of POD). But she bugs me, so FINE, because I have to get blood drawn anyway for a cholesterol check tomorrow, add the damned testosterone test.
Christ.
And then she says, well, you could be pregnant.
Oh joy.
But the test is free, so yeah, I’ll pee in a cup for you.
Not pregnant. Duh.
I could get a uterine ultrasound, becaue maybe I have uterine polyps. But that wouldn’t explain AT ALL my oversensitive cervix.
So after all that, no diagnosis. My cervix bled when she poked it for the pap, but not alot. So…that’s that. I picked up my sensitive cervix and got the hell out of there.
It could be worse. I have a friend who for years during her pap, had her doctor describe her cervix as “raw meat” looking.
At least my cervix isn’t meaty.
It’s just sore.
I need a milkshake.

Eeeks all around! Hope they figure out what’s going on.
Let me guess, “raw meat” doctor was a man. Only a man would say something that horrible.
Hi, my name is Julie, and I am a secret misogynist.
wrong! woman!
Good god. “Raw meat”?! Thanks, man (or woman in this case :D) Do I need to know this? !!!
Sometimes they just don’t know and any doctor who says my cervix looks like raw meat is getting my foot in his/her nasal cavity.
Raw meat? That’s horrible.
Hairy nipples? Weird.
And I think your “yogurt” post was much more disturbing.
I’m with Nanner, if I called someone’s cervix raw meat, I would expect some sort of physical backlash.
The Wife has a similar problem. Not EVERY time after sex, but it is not uncommon. To go into the TOTAL TMI, she has a tendancy to spot after having an orgasm, or cramp REALLY REALLY bad.
Problem: She takes birth control pills all the time to stop her period. After a while, her “stuff” becomes sensitive.
Solution: Have a period. Fixes the problem for a while.
Not sure if that may apply to you or not, but just threw it out there for your consideration.
BTW, after all these years with the same woman, “female” issues are no big deal. Once you start buying feminine products for the Wife, it’s all over.
yeah, I’ve noticed that it gets worse towards the end of my 3 month birth control cycle. and then after I get my period, it goes away. so the Wife and I have something in common! except for the cramping after orgasm. that really sucks.
Ooh, I’ve had that. The cramping thing. It’s all connected in there somehow.
Ok, going away now.
