[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 186762, member: 2459"] Star....no hysterectomy here although I keep asking for one for Christmas. But....just my thoughts. (and without knowing what the issue is for you...ie. why you are having one) I've always had issues with my period and was diagnosis'd with endometriosis. When I got that diagnosis, the doctor did some lasering when he did the lapro and got me into a drug study for treatment. (no cure but it can be periodically treated) The drug put me into a temporary drug induced menopause. Because of that, if I ever DO get the chance to have a hyster. I want to keep at least one ovary if at all possible. I do not want to go through menopause again any sooner than I absolutely have to. Now granted, I think I'm a little younger than you (but not much since you're still a hot young chick) but there is a reason those shots I had were not-so-affectionately referred to as Satan Shots. It truly is a wonder that husband and difficult child survived during that time without any major injuries or maiming. Also, I realize that "natural" menopause and what I had the pleasure of experiencing are probably different but it still hoovered in a major way. This was done in 2000 and I was still having side affects up to a few years ago. Again, this could be because it was drug induced....I don't know. What I do know though is that it wasn't fun. It disrupted my life more than I thought and made me feel like Sybil. But...this is YOUR decision, you have a different situation than I did, different age (not just our age difference but I was a lot younger when this happened) and different goals. I just wanted to give you a glimpse of my experience to give you something to consider. Whatever you do...I hope things go as well as possible! (and I AM jealous!) [/QUOTE]
