Very confused, I am 30 yrs. old and have had problems with my period since the age of 17. I used to have very strong cramps, with vomit,hot flashes,nausea,crams and dizziness. I was told that I could probably not have children because of the problems I had. I got married at the age of 22 and was able to get pregnant right away. I have always had excessive heavy periods which last 7 days or more. At the age of 26, I had my second child and as the years go by, it only gets worse. The worst started about 7 months ago, with excess bleeding that lasts almost all month long. Some days it is heavy and some days it is not. I have tried several medications to make it stop. Pills, more pills and pads and more pads have make these past months very difficult for me. After several months, I had a D&C and I did not bleed for 2 days after I had it. It has already been almost 4 weeks and I have not stopped bleeding. Finally, the doctor said to try medication again and if it doesn't work hysterectomy will have to be the only option for me. I am only 30 yrs. old and feel that my period has been my bad luck. I was on my period when I got married, I get it when we are vacationing, when there is a special event in my life and now I do not know what to do. I am afraid because I think I am too young to have my uterus removed. I do not know what to think and do, Veronica
