Well, I thought I would give a little update on me and my condition. I weaned Elody at 15 months. Three weeks later, I finally recommenced my you-know-what. I experienced some pain, but nothing out of the ordinary. What was out of the ordinary, was that I think it made my prolapsed uterus descend some more. (I developed the prolapsed uterus after Elody was born.) Since then I am in constant dull pain in my abdomen. So... tomorrow I have an appointment to see my OB/GYN. One of my options, which is what I will probably end up doing, is getting a hysterectomy. I also have a couple of herniated walls in my birth canal which I will also have repaired. I have been preparing myself for it, mentally, for over a year now. So I am kinda looking forward to it. At least I won't have to worry about getting pregnant again!
After my appointment tomorrow, I will come back to this post and give an update.
It is now Monday and I have just returned home from the doctor. My surgery is scheduled for October 20th. It will be a laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy and he will leave the ovaries. He will also do an anterior and posterior repair of the herniated walls of my birth canal. I will have to stay overnight Wednesday night and go home on Thursday. I am actually really looking forward to having this procedure done and overwith. What I am not looking forward to is the doctor and hospital bill! Yuck!!!

I hope all goes well!
oh yikes, amy!!! i had no idea. been a crazy month and blogging wasn't in the game for me. hope it all went well and that you're recovering nicely now.
have you looked into some bioidentical hormone replacement therapy since even a vaginal hyst can age you over night and totally mess with your hormone balance?
you've just given me another reason not to want another pregnancy!
Hydee- I have heard a lot about bioidenticals. My doctor said to wait until I see any changes like premenopause symptoms. So far, I haven't had any. I didn't know you were considering quiting. That is a very personal decision made with prayer. I know I'm done! :)
