I had one in November.

I wanted a hysterectomy because I've struggled with super-painful periods my whole life. As I've gotten older (almost 51 now) my periods had gotten very heavy and clot-filled. The doctor said that a hysterectomy would be overkill, since I'm likely going to be entering menopause soon, anyway.
The docs have experimented with different kinds/methods of BCPs and hormones over the past 8 years, and I was fed up. They had given me some pills in May that caused me to constantly bleed up until the day I had my procedure. I just had additional pain and bleeding at period time.
On the day of surgery I was 3 weeks into what would have been my normal cycle. I bled/shed for about 4 weeks after the procedure. So far I've had no bleeding since, so I have passed one period and I am kind of anxious to see if I have anything this month. I hope not! (I hope I don't jinx it by talking about it! ;-) )
I think it's worth a try. Everyone is different, but it's a very quick recovery and you can always have a hysterectomy if you don't get a good result.
Good luck to you!

Okay, it's the middle of November, where's Jericho?? sm
Yes, I looked online but couldn't find any chatter about it except I guess the writer's strike may be the cause for the delay in airing the new season. I've been waiting very patiently.... Anyone know when we might expect to see it air??
Good for you! I did it back in November - sm
I have a lot of gray poking out here and there and my hair was color treated (streaks of blonde) but they told me if I had it colored all one color, they would accept it so I did.
My hair grows way too fast and I went from about 1 to 1.5 inches long to very very long in just two years. They took off a 14 inch pony and I still had a good 2-3 inches of hair left.
It's a good cause and a good reason for cutting the hair!
Lots of shows air repeats after November
sweeps. Lots of holiday shows, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, etc. are on. Some new shows start in January. Then you have February sweeps! Yay!
November 4.....pushed back this year I think - sm
it was today in Canada, but next Sunday (11-4) in the U.S.
Starting the first week in November, so tomorrow
there are two radio stations in town that plays Christmas music 24/7. I like Christmas music, but I think it's a little early to listen to it all day every day. Although, my daughter watches Christmas videos all year round.
all I can say......I visited Seattle in November.....YUCK!! sm
What a dismal dreery environment. I could never ever live there......
Just FYI - I have successfully sent over chocolates from November thru January with no problems -
After that you are taking a big chance of it melting!
In Huntsville, Alabama there was a horrible accident here in November where a school bus went off an
Four students were killed, and many were injured. Those ignorant people in that hate group from Kansas were here protesting at the funerals of those poor children who were killed. The hate group had signs saying that God killed their children to punish them for not being good parents.
