Missed period for almost 5 months after having tubes tied
Im 25 abt to be 26 in Aug, I have 2 small kids, ever since I started my periods when I was 11 they have been reg. and they were usually 7dys and diff flows depending on the day. Up until I had my kids of course even aft. Both of my kids they went right back to a reg. time frame well after my daughter I went on the mirana well my periods went to spotting every month and instead of a period I would get the spotting with a yeast infection so we took it out. Aft. That we decided we weren’t going to have anymore and I got my tubes tied in the beginning of sep 2009 at first my periods were reg. but then I would miss one here and there and it just got worse now I havent had one since feb but every month I will have all the signs and symptoms of my period, the cramping, acne, back aches etc. My dr. is waiting till the middle of aug to do anything she said I shouldn’t worry till its been 6 months but I am since my family has a high family history of cancers down there on both sides of the family. I would just like some help.

Up until I read the next to last sentence of your letter I had a different suggestion I was going to make to you. Given the history of Cancer in your family the only proper suggestion is to get a second opinion from a different doctor.
Having just gone through a breast cancer situation with my wife, with a very fortunate out come. I am now of the belief that we know our bodies best. If we have any reason to doubt your doctors diagnoses you need to seek a second opinion. Most if not all insurance companies will pay for second opinions. They would rather do that and catch something early, than have the expense of a protracted illness.
See another doctor. Get another pap smear, ask for it to be sent to a different lab then the first lab. Ask the second doctor about an MRI or sonogram. I'm not sure if either of these are appropriate. I only suggest this as my wife's cancer was found so early that one of the tumors was so small it was not found by palpation or x ray. It was found on the MRI and then locatable by sonogram. This made a difference in how she was treated.
If you should need surgery don't be afraid to vet your surgeon. I looked and look up all of our specialist on line to see their medical history. I try to choose those doctors with the best medical backgrounds that I can. So far our insurance company had not refused any doctor we have chosen.
Find another doctor and get a second opinion.
