thanks for writing! I never have been told about the risk of cancer and i
totally trust my gyn. I know that in the past he said that i need a period
to get pregnant (when i am ready to). he also said that i may need medical
intervention and he nor anyone else can explain why i dont have them. I
never had a problem until an ovarian cyst in 1993 and had surgery for it.
for the rest of 1993, i had the black stuff but it wasnt' a real period and
then all of a sudden it stopped for a month or two (no real bleedign but
constant dysfunctional uterine bleeding) and pain. then in 1994 that was
it. it lasted like 24 hours and never again. i dont' even spot. i have
been on the pill now for like 8 months. was off everythign for like 3
months before that. they say they can't figure it out but was just curious.
thanks a mil!
