[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 462439, member: 7083"] 20 years ago this was definitely the norm. C-sections were up there, too. It has gotten better. Is your doctor older? I wanted a hysterectomy. I was so miserable every month, I wanted it out. I already had endometriosis and two kids, but I was only 29 and the doctor wouldn't do it. He would, however, tie my tubes and keep my on BC every day to try to keep the endometriosis at bay. My new gyn said that was irresponsible. The endometriosis came back after the lapraoscopy (sp) and I was no longer a candidate for a hysterectomy with the vaginal assist - which would have meant much less recovery time. Plus, they would have to take my ovaries and the idea of me without hormones....well, it wouldn't be long til I was in prison for murder. Instead, I take synthetic progestin everyday. I haven't had a period in years. I don't mind having my uterus anymore. I wish that had been offered years before it was. [/QUOTE]
