Default okay really anyone?

I had test facet injections done 12/28, my period was due to start 1/2, it did not. two weeks later some spotting, but nothing. up until now i was like a clock. every 29 days....then i have the rhizotomy done 1/13 again two weeks later spotting but no period. i had read that this can happen, but when i asked the doctors about it that did the rhizotomy they asked if i was pre-menopausal. i said that i did not think so since i have been on the dot every 29 days forever, my flow has not changed and no hot flashes, no weight changes, no loss of interest, ect. i don't know it kind of p&$sed me off. i wasn't trying to insinuate that they did anything wrong, i just wanted some reassurance. guess i should call my gyn and make an appointment. i mean really pre-menopause doesn't happen over night and nither does cancer. my last check up was in Nov. 2010 and everything was fine.... those injections do have steriods for crying out loud.
