i am BEYOND angry. i just got off my call with my gynaecologist. he asked how my cycles have been and i said i hadn’t gotten my period since august. it is common for me to go a few months without periods, the longest i have gone is 9 months! i have PCOS so my cycle is not 1/12

normal. and that is in my file. this gynaecologist (who is the third one i’ve spoken to in the last year) goes on to explain to me WHAT A PERIOD IS as if i didn’t learn when i was 11 in school. he then tells me my only options are the coil or go on the pill. i have been 2/12

another shit experience with women’s health. it is so clear to me that it’s just not given a fuck about. if my only two options are a pill that increases cancer risk or a device shoved up inside me that many people i know have had bad experiences with then what the fuck. 9/12

told by other gynaecologists, gps, family and friends that i should not go on the pill. my family has high risk of breast cancer. my mother had lumps removed and basically every woman on her side of the family has had experience with it. i say this to him, and he tells me; 3/12

“just because it happened to your family doesn’t mean it’ll happen to you.” i almost hung up the phone. i was ADVISED by other doctors not to. he then brings up the coil again. my mother, aunt, sister and my mother’s close friend have all had experience with the coil and 4/12

not good ones. my mother just finished surgeries to repair the damage it had done. i tell him this, and he proceeds to say; “well those are a one in a million chance! if it were me, i’d see the pros way out the cons.” then you go ahead and shove it up your uterus- 5/12

didn’t know he was a dietitian as well as a gynaecologist that’s CRAZY. he said that’s all the advice he can give me and we can have a call in the next 6-8 months to check in. i will be seeing if i can get a second opinion. the point of this post is just sharing my yet 8/12

if anyone has read this far thank you for listening to my rant. if anyone has any advice for me for PCOS related things, especially bringing on a period that would be great. it seems the advice from google and tiktok has already worked better than anything 10/12

that i’m not overweight and at my heights recommended weight, but that i should lose 5-6 KG because it’ll help no matter what. he then proceeds to tell me to not eat any fruit or vegetables. he says “fruit are just full of vitamins and sugar, you don’t need them!” 7/12

i am so incredibly proud of my friends for speaking out about the abuse they have had to experience. it takes a lot of courage to come out about those type of experiences to your friends, let alone the whole internet. i hope this helps other victims who are currently internally//
