What would we be doing a biopsy of and what it be looking for? I don't have the cramping constantly it does go away for once and awhile then returns. If it were a cancer would the symptoms come and go? I told my doctor I had not had a period since June and they seem to think the cramping is from my period trying to come. Does that seem logical to you? I did not breastfeed but I do have very high testosterone and low estrogen due to the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
