I would start with the less painful procedure of D and c.....my mom was having non stop periods....and she had a D&C done and it really helped her......Don't go for the more drastic measures until you try the other ones first hon...

Oh and that second one sound OUCH OUCH OUCH.....

If it were that bad and it was me, I would go for option #2, you'll be numb or asleep anyways.

I looked into this a few months back when I was having similar issues. They put me on BC pills, which did nothing. The other options were discussed as well. I have to tell you, #2 sounds painful, but may actually be the best one. My doctor swore that most women were back to work in a day or two. :hugs

He said the 2nd option was the best option and would help the most would be a little more painful and I would have to be put to sleep instead of a local for the D&C

My sister had the same problem. The first may work or it may not be till the last option, you won't know till you try (and also continue to talk to your Dr to find which would be best). My sister went for option #2 (after dealing with a few other issues, that was the best option for her at that time but...) she ended up having to do option #3. Only because for her #2 did not work. She's always been one that gets all the symptoms 100 times worse than any normal person, so she had an awful time recovering.

Good Luck and I hope you find some relief soon.

The hysterectomy is NOT an option right now because when I would have this done I would be TOTALLY by myself Russ will be out of town that week. I would have to do it the week the kids are out for Spring Break because I would have that week off. I don't really have people I can count on other than Russ but I figure if I have it done while they are on spring break all I will need is a ride home and maybe someone to keep the kids till the anesthesia wears off. There is NO way I could have the hysterectomy because I can't count on anyone for the kids and wouldnt want to ask my best friend who is trying to finish college to keep them that wouldnt be fair. I HATE HATE HATE having to have anything done but I have been wearing a pad daily 3 weeks a month for MONTHS and he said I had Menorrhagia and that BC pills would totally help it he was sure WRONG DOC. I walk around feeling nasty for weeks on end. TMI TMI TMI I KNOW but if I wear a tampon it HURTS terribly and Russ and I on Sunday and the bleeding started back almost immediatly and was mild to heavy and still hasnt stopped after just being on my period 1 and a 1/2 weeks ago and spotting/light bleeding on and off for the time period inbetween. I feel RAW inside
