I go Monday for one more HCG test and then I will officially be ready to head back in to get my stent. The FSH test verified that I am in fact in menopause. I jokingly said I need a medical card that says "I really am in menopause, if the test says I'm pregnant it is wrong. Please go ahead and do the procedure." I just feel like if the pituitary gland is producing the HCG hormone then any time I go in for a medical procedure and they do the required pregnancy test it is going to show up.
I can just picture my procedure on Wednesday now when I go in to get my stent exchanged. As I was leaving two Fridays ago when I couldn't get the procedure due to the positive pregnancy test I told them that there wasn't any way I could have been pregnant and I would see them in two weeks when I got this sorted out. I wonder if they will just by-pass the pregnancy test all together since we know for sure know that I am officially in menopause. I feel like the hot flashes, night sweats, and subsequent hormone medication I now take would have been evidence enough but apparently it wasn't.
Now we know, according to my FSH levels that I am in fact in menopause and we can move on with the procedure.
I have to admit, it was all pretty humorous yet stressful! I am always concerned when something doesn't test correctly. I guess that feeling won't ever go away. There is always this background concern that the cancer is back and when something crazy like this happens it throws the concern into the forefront of my mind.
