Mine are tiny too, and as far as I know, it’s not even a PCOS thing. My whole family is super busty, but me? I’m just blessed with nothing.
I’ve had two kids and totally thought they’d finally grow during pregnancy, but nope. Zero change. They're exactly the same as before.
I'm 26.

Everything just spills out—honestly, it feels like I'm full of semen 😁 On top of that, my stomach is killing me, and there's this intense burning sensation whenever I pee, or even just generally. So, get this: the Pap test came back normal?!??? Like, seriously? What am I supposed to do now?

Time to switch doctors. Seriously. What did your gynecologist even say about all this? Did they really just do a Pap test and call it a day?

If someone wants to hide it because they're too embarrassed to tell their doctor, fine, whatever, that's on them. But that person needs to realize they might actually be putting their own life at risk if they aren't giving the doc the full story.

And again, I have no clue how small towns work, but a doctor CANNOT go around blabbing someone's business to others. If they do that, they should get kicked out of the medical profession immediately.

I know they aren't just asking for no reason. If I had a miscarriage, I’d definitely tell them. Even if I chose to have an abortion, I'd say it. Honestly, I don't think I'd ever go that route, but hey, you never know.
They aren't supposed to, but people break those rules all the time.
Can an OBGYN actually refuse to deliver a woman? Because the doctor who first took me in at the hospital refused to deliver me, and honestly, everyone else on the floor did too. In the end, the department head stepped up and delivered me—he basically sacrificed his day off, and I'm so grateful to him for that. Thank god there weren't any complications that the other doctors were freaking out about. Anyway, I'm rambling. Done.

melloworca6 said:Wait, hold up—did you actually go see a hematologist at the clinic or what? 😕

Duh, obviously! If you're seeing a hematologist for a follow-up, they're gonna look at your outpatient records and previous labs—it’s just how it works, even if they aren't your regular doctor. And honestly, even if they *do* have access to your chart, who cares? It's all confidential anyway. They can't go around gossiping about your medical history!
.

That test had zero to do with my hematologist appointment! I just went ahead and got it done because I was feeling like crap and already knew my iron levels were tanking.
Doesn't bother me one bit! Seriously. I was just sharing my own experience, you know? I have zero clue how those credit cards actually work.
Look, I know I'm totally off base and I'm done with that topic—it was just an example, okay? But about the whole thing with whether an abortion shows up on your medical records or if doctors keep quiet... honestly, you never know what kind of person you're dealing with these days. You meet all sorts. And if you're living in a small town, it’s totally normal to be worried about people finding out. It's just how it is.

melloworca6 said:Your question isn't out of line at all. 🙂 Everything gets logged in your medical file, but it’s not like everyone can just browse through it. Only your doctor and their nurse have access. And if they ever leak your info? They are absolutely screwed.

I get why you're nervous about everything going digital now, but those records are protected. Honestly, unless there's some crazy emergency, other doctors aren't even gonna see your stuff without your primary doc giving the green light.

I'm not totally sure how these electronic health records work, but get this—about a year ago I saw a hematologist, and she was able to pull up my iron test results from six months prior just by using my Social Security number. Just a heads up, though: I wasn't even an official patient of hers! I just ended up seeing her because of circumstances, while my actual files are kept by a different clinic.

When I was having my second kid, there was this woman in the room with me who’d been trying to conceive for a whole year. She finally got pregnant, but ended up needing a C-section because the baby was breech. Only after they actually opened her up did they realize she had a single uterus split into two parts.

She had no clue, and honestly, not even the doctors using the ultrasound caught it.
