Looks like I've decided to push the surgery off, if I can, and just do the IUD to stay. My doctor seems ok with that, since my health is otherwise good and I don't have any other risk factors.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I had a the whole kit and caboodle removed--stage 4 endo plus fibroids. I had gotten so used to the endless bleeding and the pain and the general awfulness that it made a GINORMOUS difference. It's big time surgery--so you want someone around to fetch and carry for you for a while afterwards. Instant menopause was not my favorite thing ever, but it was still one million times better than what I had been going through. In my case, I wish I had done it years sooner.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
No advice to offer, Suela, but much sympathy with the miseries and all my digits crossed that the IUD does right by you for as long as you need.

To be fair, my mom actually was diagnosed with endometrial cancer last year. And other than the stroke she had because she went off blood thinners to have surgery (um, yeah...one thing after another, she's now had four or more stents put in her? But it was a v minor stroke and she's fine and you probably don't have her heart issues!!!) she's doing well...

It sounds like now is not a good time for major surgery; here's to the IUD working out very well!

thanks, all. I think I'll be ok in the short term, anyway. It'll be nice to stop bleeding for a bit, anyway...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am a fan of the IUD, esp the not bleeding part.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I got the IUD 4 years ago because of fibroids and pain. It helped a lot. I'm hoping to be well into menopause before it gets uninstalled next fall.

My IUD has made my life so much better. The crazy bleeding is gone. The horrific cramps are gone. Even the PMS is gone. I wish it had been suggested earlier in my life.
I hope yours helps you.
