I went for my yearly GYN exam and was told that I should really have a hysterectomy whenever I am able.
I have had endometriosis for over 10 years, heavy bleeding and debilitating cramps since high school & aparently I now have a small uterine prolapse (which I suspected, ever since Daisy was born I felt like something was bulging out that shouldn't be) and all those problems would be eliminated in one fell swoop if they just removed my uterus.
I'm okay with it, I mean there was no way I was having more kids, and they'd leave my ovaries so I wouldn't have to take hormones. I just wouldn't have periods anymore or this embarrassing prolapse, so aside from having to have surgery, there's not really a downside. It was just kind of a shock to hear.
I'm going to wait until the kids are older and able to have me out of commission for a few days. I'd only have 3 small 1 stitch incisions, I guess they can do it with lasers nowadays so it's not a huge operation. So I have that look look forward to, maybe when Daisy is like 3 & Cash is 6.
