When Was The Date...?

I've often wondered about the mythical connection between any doctor, any type of doctor visit and the question, "when was your last period?" I mean, sure the ob/gyn can ask, but the dermatologist? The internist? I'm here for a concussion, not an intimate moment with you and my parts!

For years, I didn't really know, didn't need to know. But last time I rolled in with my chart (since I'd worked so hard on it) and stunned them with a date, then got their puzzled looks when they asked about birth control.

Finally, I pulled the trump card: I've been with my female partner for 9 years. We've been having unprotected sex this WHOLE TIME and I'm still not pregnant. What's wrong with me?

If I was a better actress I would've busted out crying then. But I'm not, so I just waited for her to laugh.
