Shezbut, just wondering if you have had surgery or not? Your story sounds very similiar to mine. I spent many years in such abdominal pain and bleeding like a river for weeks at a time. I was also told to have kids as soon as possible (well that was in 1993) because a complete hysterectomy was in my future. My children are now 11 and 13.

In 2002 my insurance denied the hysterectomy, so I opted for a uterine ablation (where they completely burn out the lining). Theoretically you can still get preganant but the chances are greatly decreased to start with, I saw you said you had your tubes tied allready. I started with no period at all, but 7 years later am now up to a few days of very light flow. The body does repair the cells but it is very slow, when I had it done there wasnt much long term info, who knows I may need it done again in the future.

Take Care,
Shell
