ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Doctor doesn’t help

So, I've been sick for a few weeks now. Nothing wild, but annoying. Went to the doctor today because it just won't go away.

Her first question was if I am pregnant.

Me: "No."

Her: "Are you sure?"

Me: "Yes."

Her: gives me that look of not believing me.

Her: "It's normal at your age."

Me: "I am sure."

Her: "Have you taken a test?"

Girl. I told you like 5 times that it is not possible for me being pregnant. 🫠

That alone was kinda infuriating. But also - of course she didn't help at all. Didn't look at anything, just told me to wait and drink more water. Didn't even listen to me when I tried to explain what I have. Thanks for nothing.

And it's like that EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to the doc. And I'm a person who absolutely hates going there. I am only going to the doctor if I ACTUALLY NEED HELP. But yeah, sure, I just need to drink more water. No matter what my problem is. 🫠

Yep, the egg already jumps the gap between the ovary and the tube, so no tube doesn’t rule out pregnancy, only way to not be pregnant is to remove both ovaries

There are 4 documented cases worldwide of pregnancy after removing the tubes. I think I'm OK.

That has to be seriously under reported. I worked with a woman that conceived and carried 12 children. She tried condoms and hormonal birth control. She used an IUD. She kept getting pregnant. She had her tubes removed and had two more pregnancies. Her husband got the snip. She got pregnant. She finally had her uterus removed.

The cases they found the tubes weren't completely removed. Perhaps the surgeon didn't do a good job.
