hysterectomy options and advice

[ashie]

Thankyou for all the wonderful advice I really appreciate it xxx
I've tried multiple pills, the implant (no no to mirena as uterus shape), depo was refused as most likely causes more bleeding. I've had many bloods taken (they checked all mentioned as they thought it was blood disorder) I had swabs, went for an op so they could have a looksie (all clear its how they found septum) my last c section was done by a professor at a university so he had my uterus and ovaries out for the tubal (nothing wrong got all clear at 6 week appt)
Ablation is an option but won't stop bleeding entirely (they've flat out said it will lighten but you can still spot for many weeks as usual) its only mainly done for heavy bleeding to lighten, d&c had been preformed before which didn't change anything (only good thing is I felt like a had a good nights sleep lol)
It only started after having ds1, only stops when I'm pregnant, and then its back again until next pregnancy (which after 4 kids and c sections anymore isn't a great idea)
I've also been on multiple medications to try and stop it (can't remember names but one was for clotting and stopping bleeding but didn't work)
I've done a bit of research and seen multiple people for advice and it seems their are alot of abnormal bleeding cases that are unable to be solved.
I know of someone who is having one soon preformed so she is keeping me up to date when her op happens recovery etc.
I will look into more and watch and read all info that has been given to me so I am aware of everything.
Af is due again any day and oh I dread it, it can be so heavy I even wore 10 maternity/overnight pads in a 24 hour period which you can imagine leaves you exhausted and with little ones you can't feel wiped out, and I need to be able to function and race around. I don't think I will settle for spotting for the next 20+ years if that's the best result they can offer (that's really quite a long time and expensive too)
Sorry to ramble my thoughts just alot to think about (which of course it's not a decision to take lightly) I have a little while before making any final decision so need a clearer mind space to make it.

It's a difficult decision to make, no two ways about it. What it comes down to is you having the best quality of life you can get, any way you can get it
