? for the women

Mine was so bad after surgery that almost 2 1/2 years I think I only went one month total of not bleeding so I went and took care of it, yep a Hysterectomy best thing ever!  You might not be ready for that and I didn't think I was to but man it's been 4 months and it's GREAT!   Think about it if your done or not having children.   About the periods at the very end I was going to super HUGE tampons and HUGE pads (depends) and I'm only 37 and I was wearing a diaper.  This is so much better.    ((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) I so know what you are going through. 

Mine weren't ok then got worse, mine just suddenly got worse and LONGER!!  Right now I am on day 11 and still going.  I cry  and cry and cry now before, think I am dying, bloated, weight gain, crabby, emotional, even cried at work this time around - kind of freaked the guys out - LOL!  I hate this, it's so painful and miserable.  I'm hoping they will settle down once my weight loss does. Good luck to you... Debi

Dear Lord, I dont have any suggestions......I wish I did, i guess I may have a lot to look forward too.  Birth control and talking to your doc. is the best I guess.  I am not on BC because the hubby cant have children, so I am wondering what to do.  I am 42, if they get too bad and too long, maybe I can talk the doc into a partial hystorectomy. Good luck toots!  I hope they get better for ya!  :)

I'm right there with you.  Terrible stuff!  And having 3 teen aged girls on the same cycle as I am - let's just say the guys leave for a week every month.  Even though I don't need birth control for preventing pregnancy, I'm thinking about it to shorten and lighten my monthly visitor.  Can you take the pills that give you your period every 3 months?   My mom is in her late 50's, has her tubes tied, is a widow (and doesn't date), and hasn't hit menopause yet.  She went on the pill because her monthly visitor was so sporadic.  Just adding that for the laugh.  So see what I have to look forward to?   Good Luck!  Just know you aren't alone.  Yeah, as if that make you feel better, huh?  :) Kelly Ann

I have PCOS and have had issues as well. I'm now on Yasmine and seem to be doing better time will tell. You are a little too young to be getting a Hysterectomy or having your tubes tide. Work with you doctor or find a better doctor. Hang in there I know it sucks.

GF, I know what you mean!!!!  I have heard it gets better!!!  Let me know what your GYN says!!!  I need to get in to see one too!!! I hope to see you at MG coffee! Oh and I did get your text about shopping but not sure I can yet.  I will let you know Saturday!!! Love ya!

Hi Alayna, a year ago I was having very heavy constant gushing and ended up having a hysterotomy (sp) in the gyno office.  Ended up being 'just' two fibroids and a polyp.  Then had to go to a specialist for (don't recall what it was called) and was truly hoping things would be serious enough to warrant vaginal hysterectomy for my never-used  useless uterus.  End result:  last April I also had the Mirena IUD inserted (which typically don't  stay in with women like myself who haven't given birth(never wanted to).  Had minimal spotting for a couple weeks, and it's like having had a vaginal hysterectomy!  No side effects, no PMS (Putting up with Men's Sh*t_ and feeling fantabulous with absolutely no bleeding!  Best wishes as you proceed--BTW you look amazing!  Don't let your body betray you feeling great and proud of your WLS progress in motion!  Hugs galore, Patti-tat-too!

I am so sorry that you are going through all of this. I had a couple of realy bad ones and stoppted taking my birth control because of head aches and because it was so painful and heavey and since I stopped the pill its been much better I did see the doc yesterday because even though I would like to have a baby I know that i need to wait for a year so I decied with her that the ring would be the best  I would talk to your doctor to see what they can do for you as far as the pain and everthing I wish you the  best Nicki
