Thanks, Maven. I'll have to talk to the doctor about skipping periods, to see if that's a possibility to me.

Getting a major surgical procedure is something I've considered if other options didn't do the job, but the recovery time worries me. Well, that, and the thought of having surgery is scary! (Never had it before, for any reason.) I just want to make the best decision for my health and sanity.

Thank you, too, for sharing your story about the pill and suggesting freezing my eggs. I can't really see myself doing this, as I'd rather adopt a child that needs a home if I decided to have a kid someday (I don't have anything against people who want to have biological children; I'm just always rescuing animals, and I could see myself wanting to "rescue" a child should I ever want one!). It's interesting to read about that option, though.
