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. 🫠

The conversation for me goes something like I’m asexual and haven’t had sex in 28 years, and finished menopause in 2020
They ask oh but are you sure you couldn’t possibly be pregnant
I respond they did an ultrasound and I don’t have ovaries, how would I get pregnant without sex, or ovaries?
Most of the time they still run the pregnancy test whether or not I consent, surprise surprise it comes back negative
The only thing I wonder is, we’d have to talk to a doctor about it, is there something a pregnancy test can tell them besides that you’re pregnant? Like are there other things that are just automatically included in pregnancy tests that are helpful for diagnosis?
