did you want to be a gyno when you grew up?

but seriously- thank you tim!

My ex-wife use to work for a OB/GYN and anything to do with health has always interested me, so I always did a lot of reading.

no prob! had me wondering as well! LoL like i said, it had been 5 years since last talking to my dr about it! but i do remember asking about it and him saying that pregnancy and a vaginal birth will help with 'curing' it


Im on the Depo! havent had a period (or PMS) in *5* years!! i dont have insurance, and my depo is only $40 to fill every 3 months (i inject it myself)

I had no periods the first time I was on it, too. This time it's really annoying spotting a lot. But mostly, they're gone. Fortunately, the PMS is gone, so that makes me slightly less crazy..lol

And just a FYI

When the doctor needs to freeze your cervix and scrape the cells. It's because he sees abnormal cell growth which can mean the onset of cancer, but it DOES NOT mean it's cancer. They actually need to test those extracted cells to know.
But by identifying abnormal cells and removing them, it can prevent it from progressing to cancer. It doesn't mean you are in the clear, but it stops those cells from progressing any further.

It's actually more common than you think to find abnormal cells. And it's very few of these cases that have cancer.

Bottom line, get your yearly pap

This has been a public service announcement from the Admin. Thank you, good night, and God bless.

I always get my yearly pap...it's too important not to, regardless of what was said earlier this year about women not needing to have them every year.

Same here with the spotting it's annoying as hell with that shot. I have been for the last month. UGH
I went on it to hopefully get rid of my cramps because of how bad they are because of my endometriosis. It does not do the job 100%, but I can say it does help a little bit. My PMS is definitely not gone thanks to me still getting the stupid cramps and such...ugh
