birth control

[AGDee]

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

I knew someone going through early menopause around that age and she was having a HORRIBLE time. They wouldn't do anything for her till 39 or 40. I can't believe they can dictate that. My sister in law had her tubes tied at 34ish after their second child. I don't get it.

She needs to find another doctor, then.

She has decided to go to her oncologist to get a referral for the surgery. Given her breast cancer history, she thinks he will be more progressive.

I hope that works out for her. I'll keep her in my thoughts.
