Oh that crazy uterus

I went to the doctor today. We agreed that many of my aches and pains may not improve until my sweet little monkey daughter gets older and tires of my constant presence. But we did discuss this pain that seems to come monthly and is enough to lift me out of my seat. Endimetriosis and fibroids are the suspected culprits. He suggested I talk to an OB/GYN about my options which spell out to this:

A) Take birth control pills that will cease the periods from coming.

Problem: My hair falls out on the pill last took and my husband would likely divorce me. I have been described as less than gentle and loving with those things in my system.

B) I could become pregnant.

Problem(s): Temporary solution with a long term result. I was just the other day saying if by some crazy way I had become pregnant, THEY (we do not know who they are) could not MAKE me keep it. I would just give it to Jenny. I clearly made the right decision when Ted got clipped.

C) I could have a hysterectomy.

Problem: Um, it's surgery. It's permanent (although the above solution was not a keeper either.) And my grandmother has had to have her innards jacked up and stitched THREE times since her hysterectomy. I dunno.

D) I could grin and bear it. (This option looks better and better.)


So I will go talk to this doctor and have this ultrasound and see what sounds the most reasonable. But I will feel better for the rest of the day knowing I apparently am better off in the health department than 90% of the people in the waiting room.
