It's just the blind leading the blind...

Yeah, right after that, I started a serious relationship and became sexually active. Life suddenly got pretty intense (😁) so I decided not to overthink things and just headed to my OB-GYN to get on birth control. Back then, I wasn't living in the States; I was abroad where women are treated with extreme caution. My doctor was incredibly thorough—he ran blood work, checked my hormone levels, and went over my entire medical history. I didn't have to take an IQ test just to get the pills 🤣, but he did grill me about whether I smoked. He warned me that if I gained more than a few pounds, I needed to stop immediately because, in my specific case, there’s a risk of blood clots 😕. Anyway... I stayed on them for almost four years (with a two-month break every year) and everything was fine. I could actually predict my period, which was great. Since my prescription only lasted three months at a time, I had to go back for a checkup every quarter. As soon as I stopped, everything fell apart—cramps, nausea, irregular cycles... just a total mess. But according to my doctor, there isn't any physical cause for it 😕

Yeah, this happened to me back when I was eighteen. I dealt with strep throat for nearly six months straight and eventually needed my tonsils removed. But for the surgery to be safe, they required me to be fever-free for three weeks—which was basically impossible for me since I was sick for half a year without a break. I think my system was just totally fried 🤣. Long story short, I was swallowing mountains of antibiotics, and after the surgery, my period skipped about four months entirely 😢. Honestly, I thought I’d somehow been blessed by a miracle 😬. I ended up seeing a gynecologist who prescribed some hormones to jumpstart things, but my cycle never really returned to normal 🤷
