starting pill

I've been going through tremendous stress lately and have not gotten my period since January. I saw my gyn doctor a month ago and she told me to get my blood tested to check my hormone levels. I just called her last week and told her that I still did not get my period, so she made me get another blood test and said something like "Now your progesterone should be tested." Why couldn't she just test it a month ago when I had my blood test the first time? I plan to ask my doctor that question tomorrow (her nurse called my apartment today and left a message, so I have to call her back tomorrow).
I came here because I am curious and hoping I can find out before tomorrow. The message said I can start taking the birth control pill tomorrow to help induce my period. Does anyone know what progesterone has to do with that? I thought you had to get your period first before you start the pill. Can anyone help? Thanks

Step back and take a deep breath. What you are reading just backs up what Judie was saying, that this sort of thing is very widespread and there are many, many different types of HPV, some more easily treatable that others. Please talk to your doc. Do you know the specifics of your problem? It may well be that it is easily treatable. Your Doctor should be able to reassure you about that. After you talk with your doc let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck

Thanks for all your info and support! :)
I’m really sorry that you are loosing your job. Outsourcing is in the headlines a lot these days but it hits a lot closer home when it’s you or someone you know who is affected.
