I also don't understand this notion of just taking the pills and ending up short one day early. aren't the hormones in triphasic pills designed to have a certain amount of hormones for a certain number of days? then...if you do that, do you start your new pack a day early? If not, they you would increase the hormone free period...and potentially ovulate.
confused. all i know is that i have heard too many stories of women getting pregnant while on the pill (missing pills, taking expired pills, etc.)View Thread

Genetic testing has lately been in the news in terms of predetermining ones risk factor for both ovarian and breast cancers based on family history.

Great results! I can only hope. Looking for a doctor. Was your dr. a urologist or gynocologist?
Thanks!View Thread
If this bleeding continues schedule an appointment with your gynecologist to get this checked out.

Thanks again. I'll study through this.View Thread
Now, at 22, I MAYBE get three or four a year for probably the last five years or so. And it's light enough that I only have to change tampons every eight hours.
I've mentioned it repeatedly to my doctor and she has never done anything about it. I went to the ER a few months ago (suspected appendicitis) and they tested me for vaginal infections, but nothing showed up.
I've never had sex, so it's not an STI.
I worry whether it's something that's effecting/will effect my fertility.View Thread
I have my 3 month check up the end of June.View Thread
The same thing happended to me. Your article is like reading my own story. I am also 62, with long history of fibroid cysts and had my last mammogram in Dec. 2013.
I recently went to Mayo in Rochester MN. At their Breast Clinic I was told it was one of three things....a ruptured breast cyst, breast infection or inflamatory breast cancer. My breast was also swollen and had a pink rash. The pain was not nice.
I was scheduled for a mammogram and possible biopsy the next day but my insurance wouldn't pay for it. So, I'm back home getting a mammogram in 3 days here.
I think you Dr. is a quack and don't blame you for seeking answers. Now days we need to be assertive because no one else is going to support us.
I hope you find someone who is knowledgeble in this area and wish you luck.
