The point of a period is to shed the lining of your uterus. If you don't have atleast 4-6 periods a year during child bearing years, you can get endrometriosis and or cancer. It is very important for hormone balance as well. This was a question I asked my endo as well. I was also wondering why it was important to have a period if I wasn't ovulating. Dana
