nods - i did the surgery when i was 21. doc said it shouldn't grow back. a year after the surgery i was still in pain. so i started taking the pills straight through to skip the period on my own. a new doc agreed with my decision. so i took them straight through on and off, having an occassional period. pain. after a while i just never stopped taking them.

the periods weren't that bad once i came off. my cycles are crazy weird now though. :)
