Tutorial
Mei Wang, a 24-year-old fitness instructor, stopped taking the oral contraceptive pill (OCP) 12 months ago, in order to conceive. She has remained amenorrheic since then. Mei's puberty was appropriate in terms of timing and secondary sexual development. However, she has always had infrequent and at times extremely heavy menstrual bleeding. As a teenager, she was prescribed the OCP to regulate her periods. She has been on the OCP ever since.
