And the Results are in...

Survey Says~~~~~

~~~~not a damn thing wrong with me - at least not physically

Of course, we knew that already, but I still had to go through the motions (in reference to the female things and spotting for FIVE WEEKS STRAIGHT)

Lots of blood drawn
Torturous Ultrasound (man, that is killer on your bladder, and the woman was a BITCH)

and then it was all summed up by blaming it on the BC pills I was on. LADIES, stay AWAY from the Seasonale. I wouldn't even recommend cycling normal pills at this point. As for DEPO, well that is soooo not an option - I'll keep my bone density thank you very much! It is what it is. And what it is, is a MONTHLY OBLIGATION. so SUCK IT UP!

At least I did find out the following
HIV - negative (we knew this but I have no problem with testing regularly just to prove it)
Potassium - 4.2 (last time it read 5.8 and anything over 5.2 is a red flag) Of course, I told them that I had just lifted, ran and drank a protein shake HELLO!
Cholesterol - B-E-A-U-TIFUL BABY!

God, it's good to be healthy. I mean that from the bottom of my and heart and soul. Not everyone can claim such a wonderful bill of health.

Here is my question...Why is it such a big 'to-do' about getting tested for HIV? I didn't run off to a clinic somewhere and hide behind a mask. I was having blood drawn for other tests and said, hey run that one too.

I had to sign extra forms for that - and not for $$ reasons. I just don't get it. If you are not a virgin, get tested. If you sleep with someone that is not a virgin, get tested AGAIN. Rince Lather Repeat.

We like to think that everyone, everytime uses 'protection' but I don't care what you say - I'm still willing to spare a tube of blood just to prove you right. If more people willingly tested on a regular basis, it wouldn't be such a big 'to-do' and perhaps we can reduce the number of cases. THIS GOES FOR ALL STDs -- BE RESPONSIBLE

ok, I'm off my soapbox now - but then, it's my blog and I'll say what I want!

Glad to hear you have a clean bill of health. I am hoping for that too. But break through period for 5 weeks UG! I am so sorry! Hope they find the right thing for your body.

As for the tech that did your ultra sound, I am pretty sure it's part of the job description to be a cold hearted bitch if your are going to do ultrasounds! Mine was a nasty bitch too.

You go girl, get on that soap box and tells how you really feel!! As for me, I'm being responsible!
