Oh yes, and it was pure misery. I had my period longer than the times I didn't have it. Laproscopy proved I had extreme endometriosis and that it had caused my uterus to almost fold in half. She suggested a hysterectomy, something I had wanted for more than a decade. I had it and it was (and still is) the BEST THING EVER!!! I've had friends who have bemoaned their hysterectomies. Me? I wanted to throw a big celebratory party. No more pain!!!
