Short Sword You preferred a weapon with 29% power over speed and 23% range over melee.

You use a Short Sword. Stylish and deadly, a short sword, sabre or rapier is your weapon of choice. You are well aware that an edged weapon puts you a cut above the rabble, but you also keep your blade relatively small to give you the quickness you need to stay on top. Your opponents seldom see your attacks coming, and by the time they could have regained their senses, they are all dead.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 17% on power You scored higher than 19% on range

So after my pre-calculus exam today I had to hurry (courtesy of mechanchaos back to the gyn. Within minutes I was bottoms-off on the exam table sitting and worrying about the biopsy. I have way-too-vivid an imagination. The last time I was even close to getting a biopsy (alongside a colposcopy when I was pregnant with Aidan) I saw a tool that looked like a small, boxy alligator clip on the end of long, snipping handles. While I was waiting, that tool was all I could picture, so I got all shaky and weepy.

I must have looked like such a wimp. Especially when she came in and showed me the slender, plastic, disposeable thing that didn't look even a fraction as scary. It wasn't comfortable having my uterine lining scraped, mind you, but it wasn't the Big Bad I had imagined. People get frustrated that they can't calm me down before a procedure. Thing is, I'd much rather get all scared and stressed first. Then making in through a much-less-scary procedure gives me sizeable relief and an asston more confidence about it the next time around.

Afterward, she gave me a 300mg injection of depo-provera, which should stop my bleeding within a few days. It's refreshing when a shot is relatively painless. It also means I don't have to worry about taking a pill every day, at least not yet. I should hear back between a week or two from now whether or not I have precancerous cellular changes in my uterine lining. It isn't likely in someone my age, but having had two such months-long periods, I am at risk for it.

I asked her whether my lack of ovulation and odd periods could be related to PCOS, to which she replied that it's distinctly possible. Whether it is or not seems to be less of an issue for me than controlling my bleeding and the overgrowth of uterine lining. My bloodwork shows higher levels of estrogen, but not much progestin, so BC pills with both are not in order. Hormone pills will likely be in my future, but they can put me on a form of progestin that closely mimics that naturally produced by the body. They might recommend scarring the uterine lining instead, but that is a conversation for another day.

I think I did OK on the pre-calculus exam. I made the mistake of drinking too much gatorade beforehand. Let me tell you, it is NOT fun working through a math exam feeling like I really needed to pee, but wanting to finish up the test first. I wasn't sure on the last question, but what I did made sense at the time. I think I missed the bonus, but not by much. Maybe she'll give me partial bonus... Heh. Whoops. Ah well. I'm still likely to get an A in the class. ***crosses fingers***

I'm in serious need of a de-stress.

*lots and lots and lots of hugs* I don't blame you for being uneasy about the procedure...anyone sticking something ( not meant for pleasure ) in my tender bits makes me less than at ease. *is again hoping for good results and solid answers and things that can be remedied*

De-stressing sounds good.

Thank god you finally got checked agan. I am sure they'll find nothing, but, IF something pops there is a realy good chance it's something removeable and non reoccuring. I seem to know a few women that had that scare and went through similar circumstances, and they're all recovered and have full heads of hair. So fear not. :) I think yer gonna be ok, the world still has too many uses for someone like you. :)

***grins*** At the very least, I won't be bleeding constantly anymore. Nothing saps the strength like an honest-to-goodness lack of blood. I was beginning to feel like a ghoul -- vampire-food at the very least. I doubt it's cancerous. There's at least a chance that it's pre-cancerous, but I'm not worried about that as much as I am worried about making sure I don't bleed for months again. ***hug***
