I really don't understand why your doctor would not be willing to talk to you about having a hysterectomy. How young are you? With four kids and not being able to have anymore, I don;t understand Take care, Irene Books may well be the only true magic Alice Hoffman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 Hi Irene, I am 26yrs old, and I don't want anymore kids, I have three beautiful girls and one boy and I haven't had them all easely. First was a Caesarean and second was hard labour, third was real easy but I had Gestational Diabetes and the fourth was a bit harder I also had low Iron count. Plus like I said my hubby has had the snip. I did talk to the main consultant about a hysterectomy but he said I was too young plus he knew better because he had 44yrs experience, so I told him that he hasn't ever had the experience of havng a period. I am now seeing his consulatant under him, and he has tried a injection to stop me bleeding, which didn't work instead of twice a month it was all month. I am now on two tablets to try and stop some of the symtoms... only been on them about a week, so can't really tell whether or not they are working. Hopefully these will work, if not then where do we go from here... Thanks for your email.
