@raspberrytorte have you ever considered a uterine ablation? I don't know a lot about it. I was having awful periods before my hysterectomy and I think it came up and was then discarded in favor of just getting it over with and getting the hysterectomy done but I don't remember why. I did have a growth that they removed with a D&C but nothing really stopped my doubled over in pain, bleeding through overnight pads every few hours periods. I so do not miss that part of my life. When it was getting to the worst I was working home health in a rural area and I was constantly on alert that I stopped and changed my pad before I went into areas without a gas station bathroom. It just sucked so I'm sorry for you.
