What??? Mariposalpn am I hearing u right?? Your thinking of quitting the program?? Why? You've come so far and overcome so much. Aren't u almost done?

Yes. You're hearing me right. I'm in Ortho neuro. I'm not passing. I'd need a miracle on the last test to pass the class. I've already retracked once and refuse to do so again. Being held back 6 months is probably the most pain you'd feel as a nursing student. I'm diabetic, not eating, and losing weight because of this program and I refuse to let it destroy me. I'm looking into other schools, but if I can't find a school to give me nursing credit then I'm done. I'll take whatever associates degree I can.

I'm sorry to hear that but at the same time I understand. U need to take care of yourself first and foremost. But! I will say don't give up just yet on yourself I felt the same way when I was failing micro over the summer (with flying colors :yawn:

) and thought to myself I need a miracle to get through it. I was thinking of dropping the class and giving up but I studied my butt off and passed my final and ended the class with a B. I know it's NOT the same thing but don't give up hope just yet! Good luck!

So for the past couple of weeks, I have been living with anxiety......three months ago, I stopped taking birth control pills because I just could not take the way it was making me feel.....I had been taking it for 2 years and I just couldn't handle it. I was a hot mess, I couldn't even walk up the steps without running out of breath, I couldn't breathe!! So I went to the doc and he told me I could stop. Not even a week later, the boyfriend and I had a mishap with our protection, and I took plan B the next day. I have not had a period since then, that is 3 months ago. I went to the doc last friday to see if I was pregnant, I was terrified....I am not ready for a child and neither is he. He came with me, his face was white as could be as the doc said we would know by Monday (today). He couldn't come with me today because of work, so I went in terrified, to find out it was negative. Only thing is, it still leaves the mystery of why I haven't had a period. The doctor ordered an ultrasound, and they found a small cyst in my ovary. I am terrified again. He said he was going to run some more blood tests to check my prolactin levels and thyroid levels as well. He said it could be PCOS, but I have to wait for the results to come back. I am glad I am no pregnant, but now I am scared guys. The only thing that made me feel better after balling my eyes out after the appointment was calling my mother, who suffered the same thing when she was younger, and ended up having 3 kids in total, she also has hypothyroidism. My mom is also having problems down there, but hers is bigger, and needs surgery. My sister has a cyst in her stomach, so I guess cysts are a thing in my family. It just broke my heart that there might be a possibility of infertility in the future if it is indeed PCOS. Im sorry I am talking about this on this forum, I just need to cent my emotions out.

Hey giggles! It's ok take a breath...relax.... ok so don't worry cyst are very common with women so don't freak out just yet. I have a coworker who suffers from the same thing (for years) and she has a 1 year old bouncing baby boy! Wait for the result I got my fingers crossed for you and saying a prayer. At most it may lead to abnormal periods (like u might miss a few) or may make it difficult to conceive but not impossible! Keep me posted and I know it's not easy but try not to stress too much find comfort in talking with mom! I hear mom's are real good at a making their kids feel better
