I almost fainted in the doctors office today

I went to the doctors today and during my annual exam she told me I have a blue tint to my cervix. I asked her what that meant.
She told me usually pregnancy. I told her no way and started to feel like I was going to faint.
I asked what else could cause it. She said some medications, anemia, and hypothyroidism.
At that point I felt calmer knowing it has to be due to the anemia.
I think the little m&m guy's face on my wall decoration says it all!

I would have been happy if it were me and the doctor tells me I'm pregnant. I would love to have another baby in the house.

I would love another baby but I don't want to do that unless I know for sure my man and I will stay together. The medicines I take cause birth defects so I would have to stop taking them if I wanted to get pregnant. Also with all that is going on with my son having a baby right now would be more stressful.

@shaggin sure I understand you. wAs just talking about me, hoping that i would get pregnant. In my case, it's different. I don't care whether I have a man by me or not. I could take care of the baby if my man don't want to stand by me.

@toniganzon aww well I hope you will get to have another baby! I want to spend all my time with my children and if it doesn't work out with the father then I would have to share custody and I would be sad.

@averygirl72 Don't worry you will be fine. Just take some foods that improve your blood.

Pregnancy is a good news but not all the time. Hope the anemia is not worst

Are they going to do any tests to find out for sure what it is? I hope whatever it is is nothing serious.

There really isn't any need for me to do any tests. I have been tested at least 5 times in my life for an over active thyroid as I have always been so skinny and my thyroid always tests fine. I am sure I am not pregnant and since I have always been borderline anemic I am sure that is the reason why I have a blue tint. I have been so tired this week and I thought my iron levels were likely very low so her mentioning anemia rang a bell!

@lovinangelsinstead21 Awww that must have been a bad experience :-( Drs seem not to understand how to be sympathetic at times. Maybe your doctor thought they were happy tears.

@shaggin
They always say scary things and then play them down if you notice. The last time they told me I was pregnant I burst into tears as I had not got a house or anywhere to go of my own. He said congratulations and I hardly felt like singing it back to him.

A child is a blessing but if you're on the pill or anything like that I think it'd be a higher risk to have a child. What is the outcome?

@shaggin Oh yes, I meant birth defects - risk for the child.

I think if my doctor thought I was pregnant that I would faint too

@shaggin at 54 I can't even imagine. The thought just makes me exhausted

I did a search online when I got home from the doctor on the blue tint. It is common in pregnancy but that is not what is causing mine thankfully. A blue tint doesn't always show up when pregnant but it was a common way they used to tell if girls were pregnant before pregnancy tests were around. It wasn't very accurate.

She is new to this office about a year ago so maybe she is new to doing exams. She remarked "Oh your cervix is right thre this will be easy" and then that my overies are easy to feel lol I have never had anyone say these things to me except for things being easier to feel due to me being skinny.

Me neither but when I looked it up online before writing this post I did find it is common in pregnancy.

Well, that would have been another pain in the belly for nine months. I hope you got your medication.

I had her write me a prescription for my pills that I make sure to take every nigh so I do not get pregnant!

As exhausted as I have been this week I am sure it is anemia. I always run borderline anemic and when I feel this drained I know my levels must be low. I take multivitamins but it doesn't seem to help much.

I would have just about fainted as well. Nothing like that kind of shock.

I was so close to fainting. It took me quite awhile to calm down fully.
