@naturegirl5 thank you for the response. My appointment at Mayo is on the 26th so it's coming up in just a few weeks. We plan to drive up there the day before and then head home after the test and appointment on the 26th. Since the appointment with the OB/GYN is at 12:45 p.m. I am taking an evening flight out of Minneapolis while my husband will drive. He wanted me to get home sooner since we have cats (I worked in animal rescue and they are our babies). I've been to Mayo several times before due to my polycystic kidney and liver disease. They do have robotic surgeries where I live, not to mention the KU Health System about three hours away. The reason I saw the Mayo OB/GYN a few years ago is because my period went away for six years and then came back. Nobody here knew why. Mayo had me see the OB/GYN and then she connected me with an Endocrinologist just to make sure she wasn't missing anything (love that!). They couldn't answer what happened those six years but feel I am now premenopause due to the period coming back but being so irregular. I can go 30 days, 53 days, 89 days, 21 days, etc., between periods. Most recently it was four months, then 30 days, which was then followed by a return just 8 days later. I'm 45. We'll see what comes out of the appointment. I am just happy they didn't want me waiting three months like the local OB/GYN (I haven't been a patient of hers very long).
