Ok where do i start?
I have a child who is 3, 2 years ago this february i had to have a termination becasue of chromosome problems relating to the baby basically the stomach and other organs where growing out side the body.
Anyway Since May 2004 i have not had a period. The doctor has only just agreed to refer me to a gynacologeist.
Trouble is i am 22 and feel like i am heading for a nervous breakdown, i am desperate for another baby. I snap for no reason at all. My son sings songs and i feel my self snapping at him telling him to shut up, even if people look at me for too long i end up snapping at them, i feel so bad after and want to cry after i have snapped at people. Truth is i want them to argue with me back lol.

Also the doctor says i am obese i 5ft 2" i weigh 15 stone. But whatever he advises me to eat i just cant get rid ogf the weight. Its also starting to affect my asthma - the asthma clinic said my lung capacity was good and they would not change my medication. But i still get tight chested. It happens even if i am sitting douing nothing. Its also got to the stage where i panic that people are talking about me and how fat i am when i am out. I am getting so paranoid.
I dont see the gynacologeist till 19th January, i is there anything i can do before then to help myself.

Anyone help??

Chery,
Your problem may not be solved by a gynecologist alone. It is important to see her though because you need to make sure you will be able to conceive later on. It is quite common to have no period after terminating a pregnancy because the body is just totally out of balance and it's trying to recuperate. Your hormones may also be out of whack because of this... which may be causing the mood changes and inablity to lost weight.

I also think that you may need to see a counselor or psychologist. Your snapping at people could be a symptom of a deeper problem other than hormones. You could have post-partum depression from having to terminate the pregnancy.
