Christina:

I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure, but I was just diagnosed with that a couple of years ago. I have never had a menstrual cycle, so and they said, “Oh, you’ll just start it late. Oh, you’ll just be late. Oh, you’re really late.” I am like yeah, I am like 21.

So they just stuck me on primary hormone replacement therapy, and I was on that for five years with no doctor’s care whatsoever. They just kept putting me on that, and then to find out probably in 2004, just recently found out that I had premature ovarian failure, and then by the time last February came around, which is 2008, it was, I mean, my uterus was about the size of a grapefruit, and it had to have a complete hysterectomy with a bilateral oophorectomy.
