forgive me, but i haven't read every reply that came after this ..

i had a tubal ligation done in feb 2004, in feb 2006 i was diagnosed with Adenomyosis and was offered a hysterectomy on the spot. before i had my tubal i had zero AF issues, since my tubal i have every increasing pain and AF is heavy! i'd never had a heavy period before that. i was told i could have a DnC to "clean" me out and that should alleviate any pain until it grew back.
we toyed with the idea of IVF but i don't think i could cope with it not working, so we have decided we have enough kids i know at some stage, well before i'm 40, i will have my hysto and my pain will be a thing of the past, but still, my uterus is mine and i'm a little attached atm, so i'm not ready.
