I have been having incredibly heavy menstrual bleeding nonstop for months. At this point, nothing is helping. I’ve tried medications, a D&C, and lots of testing. They suspect a hormonal imbalance so I’m seeing an endocrinologist. They’ve already mentioned a hysterectomy and I’m worried. The high dose of progesterone I’m on isn’t stopping the bleeding and birth control didn’t either. I’m afraid that the hormone route will be a dead end and I’ll be left needing a hysterectomy. (I realize that isn’t necessarily what will happen but I’m trying to prepare myself mentally).

I have two beautiful children (1 and 3) and they are my whole world. We’d been discussing whether we would have another when all of this started. I’m struggling emotionally with the idea that another baby might not be an option for me. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful - I am beyond thankful for my two perfect little ones! I’m just hoping someone might have some advice on how to emotionally process the idea that I might not be able to decide whether to have another baby. I’m already starting to feel really sad when someone announces a pregnancy, etc. Any help is appreciated!!
