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.
