I’d love to talk another Dr. bc my last one only performed the surgery for me. I got no answers nor did he talk to me about what he saw, what stage I am, etc. I feel like I’d have to start all over again or be in so much pain that I’d have to have another surgery which I cannot afford!! I know I have it, I know it was treated but now what?…..I don’t have anything else to go by. I guess my only next step is fertility experts but I don’t want to go that route. So, here I am. Just trying to be…but I’m so here for you and your journey and so happy you found the best for you to get you to where you need to be. 💐💜
Thank you so much for this. Amazing timing- I’m doing the same this week. Hate my current gynae and will not go under surgery with her in charge she’s so cold and heartless I just cried the whole way through consultation. Not giving up till I get the surgeon I want and need. So relatable and important we keep advocating ❤ thanks Em for the strength and support ❤🙏🏼
I hear ya. I can walk into any board room and have the confidence of a lion. When I walk into a doctors office I normally burst into tears before I get words out. I get so scared and anxious and upset even for routine things. So much past gaslighting has done this to us. We deserve better. You're amazing.
I completely understand the anxiety that comes before a doctor’s appointment, I’m literally typing this while waiting for mine. I also arrived early! You’ve put those feelings into words so beautifully, and I want to thank you for sharing so vulnerably. I’m vlogging my appointment and emotions as well to help others feel less alone with these very real feelings. I often overthink how to present myself at these appointments, and I still haven’t figured out the best approach. Should I dress up, look professional, and present as educated, knowing there’s a risk that my pain might not be taken seriously because they assume I couldn’t be in that much pain if I had the energy to put into my appearance? Or should I go in looking more casual, risking judgment as someone who doesn’t take care of themselves? It’s such a tough balance. Thank you for making me feel seen with your words.
As you get choked up, I feel like I'm getting choked up! I know the anxiety and sadness you're going through ❤
