I don't have any experience with HPV but have friends who have had the laser treatment and they all said "no biggie"
I DO, however, relate to the LONG (8-10 days) HEAVY monthly stuff, and have since I was 9 years old! (This is ONE thing I never liked being ahead of all the other girls on!)
At 49, with no children, and no plans on having any, I was ready ten years ago or more, to have it all out.
I am sitting here now with my Depends on (yes it's THAT bad!) after waking up with cramps for the THIRD day in a row. I just got back in the house after going outside and doing my monthly scream at the top of my lungs...
COME ON, MENOPAUSE!!!

(good thing all my summer neighbors are gone!)
