I sure appreciate them! Since I was not totally sure which week I was on, the warning from the doctor that my lining was thick when I had started was a help. The doctor warned of a super heavy period again, and even, "gushing". But, since I know it is from a super heavy lining, it is not as scary this time. Just very messy. Sitting on towels and changing pads often. The towels protect the chairs when the pads leak or give way, and it is easier to launder the towels than my chairs. Ha. Too much information? <BR/><BR/>I did read on the internet--and I know you can't believe everything on the internet, but I did read of stories of heavy periods right before menopause! That is encouraging. And then there are also the stories of thick lining being uterus cancer---so getting the second opinion will be a good idea for getting that ruled out. <BR/><BR/>I thought I had a nifty little list of questions when I went to the doctor, but I have thought of sixteen more since I got home! <BR/><BR/>Thanks again, everyone. Since we ladies are very complicated creatures, I think that the more we share, the better. <BR/><BR/>And I am so thankful for my patient, loving, super-helpful husband who listens to me rant and rave, and helps me clean up after myself. Good thing he is a guy and not easily grossed out. And he has a great sense of humor.<BR/><BR/>Happy Valentines Day, dear friends!joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456465195258073699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298786348766872034.post-37295317892235777182009-02-13T20:03:00.000-08:002009-02-13T20:03:00.000-08:00Oh good. So glad we get to continue chatting!I ha...Oh good. So glad we get to continue chatting!<BR/><BR/>I haven't had a D & C. But, as I understand it, the uterus creates a lining every month in preparation for getting pregnant. Then when fertilization doesn't happen, the uterus sloughs off that lining and thus we have our periods.<BR/><BR/>But, and this is the part I am not sure I have a good understanding of - if you lining is abnormally thick - this constant bleeding must be your body's effort to shed the excess lining.<BR/><BR/>I guess the D&C is an artificial way of getting rid of the too-thick lining and give you a 'fresh start' so to speak.<BR/><BR/>Not sure about the hormone therapy, but hey, you can always ask her to clarify before she writes the prescription.<BR/><BR/>And, it is your right to ask for a 2nd opinion.<BR/><BR/>Take care!JAMIE'S CREWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11427662758287686656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298786348766872034.post-60900118132723408852009-02-13T18:53:00.000-08:002009-02-13T18:53:00.000-08:00Joyce,I follow your blog from my friend Jamie. I ...Joyce,<BR/><BR/>I follow your blog from my friend Jamie. I had a partial hysterectomy in 2001. It was an easy procedure, one night in the hospital and by 2 days after dismissal, I attending a wedding celebration. I would most definitely pursue a second opinion. I agree the facts as presented do not add up.Syndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14253134221861192421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298786348766872034.post-10357919084924660242009-02-13T15:54:00.000-08:002009-02-13T15:54:00.000-08:00Heck no, you have not worn out your welcome--I wel...Heck no, you have not worn out your welcome--I welcome any wise counsel you can give! <BR/><BR/>My niece had a D&C in Indonesia after a miscarriage, and said it was a breeze.
