Back In My Mid-20s I Was Told I'd Never Be Able To Have Children As I Wasn't Having Periods. Doctors Tried To Start Up My Monthly Cycles, But When Nothing Worked, They Actually Offered Me A Hysterectomy. Without It, They Said I Might Get Ovarian Cancer In The Future. I Chose Not To Have The Operation, And Am So Glad I Didn't.
