>Thanks for your reply. pregnancy test ordered by doc. was negative. My periods are not heavy or crampy. I used to spot sometimes a few days before my period. I am presently not on any BCP but my doctor thinks it will help straighten things out. He seems not very worried about it though. Guess i am scared of endo or worse. Was treated for mild dysplasia/hi risk hpv in feb., follow up pap in May was normal. Should i seek a second opinion or stay with my doc. and start the BCP? Thank you!
