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.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
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...
I am a fan of the IUD, esp the not bleeding part.
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.
My Best to you Consuela
Here's to your soon-to-be-improved health, Consuela!
Here's to the IUD doing its job. May you have quick and effective relief.
My mom and both of my sisters had hysterectomies. I was spared those issues and had an uneventful and early menopause.
