Thanks Marydean. Yes, there are about 6 different methods from what I've discovered. Surgical risks aside, I was wondering if there are any possible hormonal side-effects, but most sites say there are not. Contraception is not an issue as DH has had a vasectomy 2 yrs ago.

I have an appt scheduled with my gp next week to discuss other options first and to get any relevent tests to determine why I'm having these symptoms. I just like to go to my appts with as much knowledge as I can
