And it's about what I expected. I can't do drugs, one makes blood clot more and theoretically bleed less....Motrin is another drug he said would help but my history of ulcers I can't really do it. Hormones were also brought up but if you recall in 09' when I had the trips to the ER over the uncontrolled bleeding, they gave me hormones and I was depressed terribly for 6-8 months. It was AWFUL. So I told the gyno I couldn't go back into that pit of despair I crawled out of after the hormones, and the final option is a supra-cervical hysterectomy. *sigh*

I can't say that it surprises me, I mean it's only going to get worse, I told him I've had issues since 2010-11 ish with it since the bleeding returned after the ablation. I am so tired of this crap with it, I really want it to just be over, so I am leaning towards the hysterectomy because I figure it's better to do it when I am 45 then if I was 49 and it was REAL bad then....Like he said that they'd cover it, because of my history of problems, and that because it'd be laproscopic, the recovery time is about 3 weeks....So I figure February as long as I can wait that long. Kiddo has to have wisdom teeth out in January. So after he's healed up, that's when I'll have this done....I am really worried about it....I need to relax, last night I had such trouble sleeping I woke up around 2 am and threw up!

Hope you're all well, I will check back soon. Need to lay down. Take care everyone. ♥

Hi, Pam,

The appointment with the doc seemed to help you because you seem clear right now on what your options are and what you want.
You even have the time worked out.

Maybe try to stop worrying by reminding yourself that you are good with these kinds of decisions and that you and your doc know what is best for you.

It will be nice to get this over and be free of the pain.

So true Mari, I think the anxiety was over the results of the biopsy, and now that I have that all clear and an end in sight I feel a huge relief.... Thank you for caring Mari! You and my other friends here really make me feel better. ♥

I have been, it's been really rough, I am just glad the samples were 'clean' but even so I really think this is going to be for the best....It's only getting progressively worse as time goes on. So, time for it to go! Thanks for caring bizi, I really appreciate it.

Sending you some hugs. This sounds like the right choose.

And your so right about age. Honestly once you have decided
no more kids. It really doesn't matter.

I love the no more bleeding myself.

Thanks Donna! I really appreciate it, I am really ready to say goodbye to it, I was honestly ready in 09' but it wasn't offered to me then. So we'll get me through this and it will hopefully be an end to the suffering. Or at least minimize it.

Pam,

I pray that God is with the surgeon, the rest of the medical team, and you as you prepare for and undergo the procedure. I also pray that your recovery goes well.

Thank you Mari, that's so sweet of you to keep me in your prayers, I really appreciate that. I know it's always out of OUR hands when you have to submit for surgery, but we all go into surgery seeking relief for what ails us, so hoping that this will help mend what's ailing me. I am ready for the problems to stop, I just need kiddo through his oral surgery first. After that I'll get mine done and hope for the best.

Thank you bobby! I do smile pretty much almost the entire time I am conscious, I just can't help myself. Here's my kitty and I just hanging out:
