areolasCan't believe I haven't posted in so long, but at the same time I think it tracks. I've been busy in general and haven't had the mental energy to spare for journaling.
Next week i have my final project presentation for my class (a dnd linguistic analysis project) and then ~2 weeks after that is the final due date. Today I registered for my final class of grad school!!!!! Mostly I am just SO ready to be done even if I have 0 plans for after
Anyway the past few months I've been having weird pre-period spotting like consistently 10 days before my period and intermittently up to my period starting. It happened in like May and I saw my gp about it who said it happens and don't worry about it. But it happened again now in Feb and now in April like consistently and more bleeding and for way too long.
I made the appointment today to see a gyno for a smear and a checkup bc I've been very bad and actually have never gone before... ever. It's not wise but I have no concerning family history and I'm ace so it's not like I've been worried about a lot of the sexual concerns obv. But still I should have been going. I'm only finally taking medical responsibility for myself after neglecting to for....... my entire 20s.
Anyway I have to get it out because I have to be able to focus on other things until my appointment.
I did some googling (bad!) and I'm trying very hard to not spend the weeks leading up to my appointment convincing myself it's cervical cancer but I mean it's a very real possibility. I know it's much much much more likely just like, hormonal changes of hitting mid 30s, perimenopause?????, maybe polyps? endometriosis? stress even?
idk it's highly unlikely it's cervical cancer and I just have to keep reminding myself of that. Or if it is, hopefully it's early. hopefully they can just take out the whole ute and leave it at that, i aint using it. she's brought me nothing but unpleasantness anyway.
appointment on the 22nd, results hopefully soon after that. I'll drop by with how that all goes, I guess!
oh YEAH ALSO im pretty sure i can feel my mouth trying to produce another salivary gland stone which is painful and unfun and wack so im very much looking forward to that finally happening
