Okay, so you want to know more...
Part of the reason the neurologists think I have epilepsy is because of a chemical imbalance in my brain.� I don't have a period like most women.� I never have had one.� It was only recently that I started having them on a somewhat regular basis.� For 2 years they had me on Medroxy Progesterone, which is a hormone that would make me have my period every month.� Once they took me off that, I stopped having a period.� I am 22 years old and I can count on two hands the number of periods I have had.� My mother had epilepsy from when she was a small child until she had a regular period, so they think it is hereditary in that sense.
Everything I have ever been taught about babies in Sexual Education, was that the woman's blood, which would normally flow every month, feeds the fetus and gives it nutrition to grow.� I found out the hard way, that is not the case.�� I appearantly still ovulated, but I just didn't menstruate.� Unfortunately, I didn't have a choice in the matter of the abortion.� The medications I was on at the time were Class C and Class D for problems with pregnancy.� The highest class is Class E.� The problems included deformity of the child, miscarriage, death of the child, and death of the mother.� It was the hardest thing for me to do.� I cried a lot and still cry about it from time to time.� I kept the test that showed me positive for being pregnant and have kept it since.� I don't regret doing what I did, as it was a lesson taught and learned.� I thank my mother for all her help and support during that time, and my entire life.� Without her, I would be truly lost.
