[QUOTE="Shari, post: 186821, member: 1848"] Heya. *** No hysterectomy advice. Mine was scheduled and for some reason, 2 years into continuous BCP, my problems stopped. Its been 4 years now, and knocking on wood it stays that way. *** I was looking at having a hysterectomy because of endometriosis. It was causing non-stop bleeding (for 2 years after difficult child) and pain. Just want to pass along what I learned making my decision if that's your problem, too. If bleeding is that largest part of your problem, the hysterctomy alone will fix it without sending you into he...I mean, menopause. In my case, I had a lot of pain in addition. If this is part of your problem and you keep the ovaries, they will keep producing their little hormones and the endometrial tissue in your gut will keep reacting to those hormones monthly, and the pain may well continue. *** I'm assuming your doctor would clean out as much tissue as possible while he's in there, and hopefully it would take a long time to regrow, but....that's one reason to take the ovaries, too. Just depends on what problems you're trying to fix. If pain isn't your problem, tho, my vote would be to keep the ovaries. *** I looked into that Lupron shot and OMG, no way. Thank GOD I found a group of women who SCREAMED no before I went thru with that. For those of you who've had it, too, do you know that there is a shorter acting version of it??? Why the he!! don't these docs give women THAT one first, instead of the 3 or 6 month version, til they know if they can take it or not???? Sometimes docs don't make sense. [/QUOTE]
