So we were having a discussion with friends tonight and the husband of the couple said he was getting a vasectomy after their next child. My fiance was a little over the thought and said "wow, you actually going to do that?" and the wife of the couple went into the lecture about how it's easier and safer and if you loved your wife you wouldn't make her go through that. I looked at my fiance and said "well, your in luck, I'll probably end up needing a hysterectomy before you need a vasectomy" I dunno, kind of made me feel not so hopeless about my hate for a half a second. Made my fiance laugh.

You know, a positive attitude is one of the best ways to deal with this, it keeps you going. My silver lining is that it's made me look at my overall health and do something about it.

For me the silver lining is good pain free days. Before I took them for grantit. Now on those days I do alot more with my kids, so that on the bad days it's okay. I appricate the good days so much more.

Maybe I shouldn't have said it's a silver lining. Because it's not like it's a good thing, I dunno, the situation gave me a smile for a second.

The silver lining for me is discovering new things. I'm learning more about endometriosis and other diseases which can help in the long run. I also discovered progesterone cream and how I don't have to depend on pills.
I wouldn't want a hysterectomy though.

I don't want one right now, I want to get pregnant in the next few years, however due to my risk of stroke I can't do any hormonal treatments to help me. So when I'm done having children, I'd rather have a hysterectomy than be in pain all the time just letting it get worse for the next 25 years.

I'm done having my kids, and I use to think the same thing, take everything out....I even told them that before my lap. but they don't recommend haveing a hystorectomy unless you absolutely need one, and it isn't a cure, endo can still happen, and early metapause is not pleasant. Just wanted to let you know that, good luck in trying to get pregnant.

Yeah, my dr and I have already talked about it because I really have no treatment options other than deal with pain until I need to have another lap. We've discussed some of the ups and down from it and if the time came, we would talk more.
