Amanda 1981,

I have been there with horribly heavy periods. Man, does that suck! I'd seriously recommend that you have your GYN do an ultrasound. They can see if your uterus is tilted, any abnormal growth/s, and discuss what possibilities may be best to ease your symptoms.

I suffered for 20 years before I finally had my hysterectomy (in 9/09). I don't miss that darn uterus or cervix one bit! The cause of my long history of problems was a tilted uterus, and mainly ~ adenomyosis. Doctors typically don't recommend hysterectomy until one has tried all other possibile treatments and still has problems.
