Hi, my periods were irregular about 8 years ago. I went to
a different Dr. He coterized me hoping the extra bleeding
would substain, it did. I was deturmined to get this accom-
plished after I ruined a rich mans white couch. While visiting
with him I started my period while sitting on his couch.
and it didn't start small it came big. It was so imberrasing.
I could of died. Instead of dieing I saw a new Dr.
