It's time. I need to make a serious decision about my heavy cycles. I have had another bad episode this month and I need relief. I want the heavy bleeding to go away, the pain, the fatigue, and the bad headaches from so much blood lost. I have been struggling with making a "permanent" solution decision, as I know it will cancel out my chances of ever having a child again. Though I am almost positive that I won't have anymore kids, I think I have held out on the possibility to have one with my future husband. It's one of the things I have always desired, because I had two kids by myself.
But, my quality of life is most important to me. I have struggled with the idea of a hysteretomy because it just seemed so final. I have recommended for birth control, the Merina IUD..etc. And none of these procedures will give me the relief that I need. I really don't have any other option, other than thinking about something on a more permanent basis.
A girlfriend of mine told me about Endometrial Abaltion procedure that might be my solution. This procedure will cauterize my uterus, scarring it and making it impossible to have a "cycle." I will still have my uterus, but I will not be able to have anymore children. I mean, I have to be realistic. I have two children, I am 40, not dating seriously and definitely do not have any marriage prospects on the horizon....so what is my heistation????.....I just think plain FEAR!!!
I have a message into my doctor to consult about this procedure. It's time for a solution.
