I got pregnant on a trycyclic and miscarried. Turns out I ovulate twice a month and the fluctuation of hormones in the trycyclic didn't cover me for both times effectively.
I have a co-worker who is 38 and having huge issues with fibroids and hemorrhaging and they won't do a hysterectomy on her even though she's a grandma three times over and a two time breast cancer survivor (the type that is exacerbated by hormones). She keeps begging them to just take everything since she's already had early menopause from the breast cancer chemo and drugs. She's going through a miserable time
