My Period is AWOL- How Do I Get it Back?

[the-bone-doctor.livejournal.com]

All throughout my reproductive years until now, I have been extraordinarily regular- a 26 day cycle like clockwork with noticeable ovulation and cervical change patterns.  However, it suddenly stopped and I haven't had a period for over three months now!

Cold Knife Cone Biopsy for Adenocarcinoma in Situ... my experience

[ma2760.livejournal.com]

Hi all,

I've written before about my abnormal pap smears, AGUS (Atypical Gladular Cells of Undetermined Significance), colposcopies, etc. (July 2011 | May 22, 2013 | May 30, 2013 | June 27, 2013)

I was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma in situ (basically cancer cells in the glands in my cervix). Originally I was going to have a LEEP (laser removal), but through a series of ridiculous circumstances, a new surgeon and adjusted treatment plan, I ended up going with a cold knife cone.


I had a hard time finding people talking about adenocarcinoma in situ and cold knife cones in this community so I just wanted to share my experience in case anyone else goes through this and wants to know what the surgery is like. Obviously everyone's experience will be different, but hopefully this can help someone!

Implanon and heat

[briansue.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know if it's safe to put a heating pad on my arm where it will definitely be above my bc implant? I feel silly worrying but the heat is so close to it I can't help but wonder. Needing the pad is not related to the implant at all.
