I had one a year ago and wish I had done it sooner!
My periods only lasted 5-7 days, but they were so heavy. My GYN said I had adenomyosis, so it is likely I will have to have another procedure at some point, or maybe a hysterectomy, but it was the best thing I ever did and wish I had done it a long time ago. I was also home by lunchtime. Had some cramping that day, but nothing major and felt great the next day.
Only regret was not doing it sooner
Thrilled with the results. I continue to have periods every month, but they are so much more manageable.
Thanks for your responses. I know that I will probably feel better and wish I had done it sooner -
but the thought of having major surgery and being laid up for six weeks is not something I want to do right now. I do have a three month follow-up appt in November so I guess I will just research my options and let myself get used to the idea. Thanks again for your replies.
Yup - they'll hit your cell phone sooner or later. I'm getting them now. nm

Sorry to have responded that way (sm)
It is just that you really have no idea what I have been through in 15 years.... and you would have no way to know just based on my post, so I shouldn't be defensive. But truly I have tried everything to make things better in this marriage and I am not someone who will ever be happy having all the decisions made for me. I want big decisions to be made as a couple, not by one or the other.
Thank you to all who responded. I really feel better, but I am going to say
something to her about it all, once I figure out a way not to lose my temper. Yes, I am a laid back-type of parent, as I tried trying to keep up with the Jones' and such, but after putting my kids through torture (of course, thinking I was doing best) by constantly involving them in things they had no interest in (and, of course, listening to everyone on how to raise my children), I decided to listen to THEM. I am very involved in their schools and I have a lot of quality time with them daily, but I just feel kids need to be kids as well and have time with their peers and work out things on their own without me constantly over them. Let's face it, there is no guarantee I will be here even tomorrow, so I try to instill morals in them and pray they do the next right thing,but I cannot expect them to make every right decision and I should not judge myself as a parent that way. If I do, then I will inevitably correct and criticize them, as I will be judging them by someone else's opinion as well.
Thank you, because I really knew what the right thing was but I kept allowing someone else's feelings tumble into my own and that made me feel really sad. I know they are both very good kids. They may not be perfect to the standards of some people, but they are mine and I am very proud of them....no mmatter what anyone says.
(((hugs))))
r u the poster I responded to? well if not.
If you are or are not the poster I responded to - doesn't matter one lick. The poster said *will not shop in any store that sells gay or lesbian items*
Poster did not clarify that they *WOULD shop in a store that sells heterosexual items also being sold to gays* -
You seem to have an interpretation and possibly reading problem which, if you were the poster I was responding to, accounts for the little pea-sized, shut-down to nearly closed-down brain.........
To me it is unbelievable that homophobes still exist in the 21st Century amongst the common folk?
All this spewing about Christmas and Christian way of life and giving and generosity and all this supposed good feelings, yet all I see here is hypocrisy and condemnation for anyone who is not of your faith and for anyone who doesn't interpret any bible the way that some of you do.
God says we are to love each other as we love ourselves - but looking at some of these posts I see SOME really lack loving themselves and become accusers and finger-pointers - and JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED.....
To all who condemn others who do not follow your ways, religion, closed mindedness..... Who died and left you boss of anything?
And lest not forget that Christianity and Catholicism stems from Judeo-Christian teachings.....which when I get involved teaches all about tolerance.
Now, can we all just try to be pleasant and get along and agree that we can all disagree and still be civil to one another or is that task far too great?
MTmtmt, I responded to you below (NM)

You responded to someone re my post below (sm)
Thanks - I am in the same sort of situation. Same thing with the ratio of his money to mine, and not having any family support. Even though there are a lot of nice people on here it is hard for many people to relate to the "no family at all to help" scenario. I think our husbands prey on us for that reason. They look at us and know they earn 5 x as much as we do and that we have no family to support us and they feel very superior to us because of that. I would really like to talk more with you if you are interested in e-mailing.
Thank you everyone who responded... and YES i do want children some day...
:) Sorry if I implied I wasn't sure about children... because I have ALWAYS wanted a family. I definitely know I some day want children, my question was how do I know when it's right. I just know i dont want one now, that was my point, he does, i dont, is he the one that has to wait until I'm ready? I just always try to look at the fair side of things.
I guess I just wondered if there was this "ticking clock" that would happen to me to let me know it was time, or I figure we will just not "TRY" and see how things go after we get married...
and thanks for saying I'm not selfish, but the reasons for not having one right away ARE selfish... i still want to do my own thing, go out with friends, still have the body I have (LOL)...
I appreciate everyone's thoughts and outlooks and will take them into consideration.
since you already responded yes I would suck it up and go sm
You should have said no from the beginning. Dinners are not cheap. There may be time for the bride to take away from her count. I think it would be very rude not to show up. That is just causing more talk.
call back and request an appt sooner. Since you are paying for it, they should have no problem
s
Thanks to all who responded. I never expected such a response.
I think the consensus is that to make sure my daughter makes an informed and education decision about her life choice and to be supportive, which I definitely will. She has been lost for so long and I find it heartwarming and hopeful that she finally feels positive about her life to want to think about her future. Whatever she decides, I'll be here for her. I definitely think she should explore all branches of the military as well as non-military options. Thanks again to all who responded. It was greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks everyone who responded - can't wait til tomorrow morning!

It's time to stop when you or the kid(s) feel it is time, and no sooner. sm
My grandmother (who passed away at the young age of 107 back in the mid 1990s) was STILL celebrating every little holiday for all of her many kids and grandkids, and she would STILL give me a chocolate bunny every Easter, as she had since I was a toddler and even though I was 40ish at the time (and I still delighted in biting its head off in front of her, as I had also done since I was a toddler, which always met with mock disapproval from her).
Don't let anyone dampen your joy in celebrating your traditions.
Thanks, so scary
I put my cats in the powder room with their blanket in the inner part of the house. I watched TV and was ready to join them as soon as I was told to take cover as was being told to people just down I-75 from me. Like I said, rotation 2 miles away and that is too close for me. Live on a high hill and last year tornado touched down in exactly the same place where rotation was today. Hope I have missed the bullet for this time. There has been damage though in my state from a tornado today. Thanks, I was praying also.
A scary day for NY

Yes, it's very scary (sm)
I remember when the study came out in a health magazine back in the ྖs. I found this link, which tells more of the story than I remember from the health magazine article.
http://www.all-natural.com/microwa1.html
I've been told I'm an alarmist (even a whacko!)....so I don't really talk about these things very much. My own family doesn't believe in much of this either, and I won't go into it here in great detail. But let me just say this:
The best thing to do is to be informed, and then each of us can make the decisions for ourselves, of what we put into our bodies, or on it, etc.
For myself, I do not to use a microwave.
I do not buy genetically modified food, if I know what it is, and can help it, that is. Corn is the scariest thing out there right now, that's in so many different foods/drinks:
http://www.truefoodnow.org/shoppersguide/guide_printable.html#baking
I buy organic food and non-hormone and non-antibiotic meats, non-irradiated as well.
I use only biodegradable household cleaners, nothing toxic.
I do not use flouride toothpaste or antibiotics that are fluoroquinolones.
I do not to use a deodorant that has aluminum in it.
I will not have any vaccinations that have mercury in them.
I now get only porcelain fillings, no more amalgam (silver, mercury). It's on my wish list to get all the old mercury out of my mouth, and I've been doing it slowly.
I also stay out of the sun, because I have fair skin, and skin cancer runs in my family.
I try to make as many healthy choices as I can.
Like I said, though, all we can do is inform ourselves. Find out everything you can on things that may be poisoning us, without our even knowing it. Then choose how you go about living your life.
yep very very scary
I was born in the 50s...so I'm old enough to BE your mother *snickers* *winks@U*
In my opinion, this country slowly but surely is becoming a dictatorship....I'm just glad my kid is an adult now and I don't have to face these Gardisil issue(s), until she has children of her own. And if she has a girl - I'm against that mandatory thing......
if we raise our girls right, we can cut down on these problems. I raised mine right and she waited...and listened....I think I just lucked out....but I didn't stop talking and still don't...*laughs*
and on her myspace page she has put me as Her Hero....*flattered* and *humbled* by this kid!!! We have a great relationship, something I didn't have with my own mother...(though had it with my father and is probably why I didn't have it with my mother, and they remained married for 48 hours until her death....)
My Dad was THE BEST! They don't make 'em like they made 'em in the beginning of the prior century....I always told him. He died a couple of years ago, I miss him badly...I never did miss my mother...oh that's not entirely true - I missed her growing up while she was alive...(her social life was more important than her kids, the post WWII moms, some of them were like this....)
Keep The Faith is what I think.....
me too - it is scary, isn't it? (sm)
We have had our money split up for severaal years. In fact my husband recently bought a $7,000 boat without even discussing it with me :(
that is scary
I'm glad you had the dogs there with you - I too never lock my doors - also living in a rural area. I have dogs also. . but I may start locking my doors when I am alone. .
Scary isn't it?
I don't have any advice for you, but I have an 11 year old son. Found out that lots of kids in his MIDDLE SCHOOL are having sex, drinking, smoking, and using drugs. This is in a 'supposedly good' school in a suburb of Atlanta. There is also some gang activity. I will be homeschooling him starting this fall.
I am so sorry to hear of your problems with your daughter. I hope that someone here is able to offer you some sound advice. I know that it is not a good feeling to have someone living in your house whom you feel you cannot trust.
Not scary now, on TV, but REALLY scary in the
Best line:
"I think we're gonna need a bigger boat."
He is scary sometimes...sm
I have told my mom on more than one occasion he is not right in the head. I think he has mental issues. He does not demonstrate normal behavior at all.
I agree his girlfriend can sew it back on. You know what is funny is his girlfriend doesn't know how he REALLY is. He hides that side of himself. My mom said one day it will come out and she will see him for who he really is.
He thinks nothing of calling one time right after another if you don't answer the phone and will ride by and spy on you to see if you are home or just not answering the phone. My mom did have to threaten to call 911 one night though cause he was on her front porch banging on the windows and the walls and crying and yelling to let him in please. She had to threaten to call 911 before he would leave.
Can you say insane?!
You got it!!! I am so real, it's scary *LOL*
And I never tried to push my upbringing/religion onto anybody ever in life and now I'm not into organized religion but very into G_D! And I would never push my ways down anyone else's gullet.
very scary indeed - (I used to live in AZ)....no msg
I think the scary thing about #2 is - sm
not so much that the ad is out there, but that it will probably get a ton of responses. The Internet is a wonderful and very frightening tool.
Vegas scary?
My husband and I visit all the time- he has nights when he goes where he wants and I go where I want- I love the shows, he does not- we split up and OMG, I am a woman all by myself out on the streets of Vegas… I am scaring myself! People are all over the streets day and night- I feel completely safe, probably safer than in my home town. Why scare someone??
scary games
They are so much fun though. I really really like them. I am on a community now online called There.. Kind of like a visit chat community.. almost a game for me.. Meet a lot of nice people.
How scary! Big hugs to you. sm
Take a deep breath, say the Serenity Prayer, Let Go and Let God, make sure you are taking care of yourself by eating and getting the rest you need. That's what Al-Anon has taught me and it has served me well. 
This is scary. How could they be so careless? nm

Wow . . . that is shocking and very scary.
Our school district has an exception to the medication policy for children carrying asthma inhalers, where paperwork is completed in advance and kept on file.
Can tell you that Ambien is a little scary
my daughter was prescribed it and she did very bizarre things in her sleep that she has no recollection of - covered the entire bathroom floor with an entire box of tissues very neatly, sat down to go to the bathroom without pulling down her pajamas, walked into other people's rooms and did strange things. Jack Nicholason said he nearly drove off a cliff on Ambien.
Scary! Thanks for sharing because
now I'm going to be on high alert. Thank God you caught it when you did! BTW, which company are you talking about that might have been an inside job? I'm hoping it's not one I have an account with! :0)
Pretty scary, isn't it?
I just don't know how much worse this nation must get before it is worse that Sodom and Gommorah. Those cities must have been wicked beyond compare. Part of me says "Wait just a little longer, Lord" but another, ever increasing part of me says "Come even so Lord Jesus."
OH MY GOSH! how scary.
when i picked up those 2 guys, i was raging mad at my employer and in one of those "i don't care" states of mind. another time when i passed a decent looking guy in a hospital parking lot, i ignored the bad feeling i had, and he tried to kidnap and rape me. so maybe our "senses" don't always clue us in, but when they do, we need to LISTEN!!
Can you name 3 meds that don't come with scary waringing?

You think that is scary; read the contract
that the parents had to sign, make sure to read the numbered portion. Now tell me, what type of parent would allow their child to do this? Digusting. I will definitely not be watching this garbage.

Yes, those Batman movies sure are scary.

They ARE amazing, aren't they? Definitely scary - (sm)
when you're indoors.... so much banging, rattling, stuff falling, etc. But if you're lucky enough to be outdoors, as I was during the 1989 Loma Prieta quake (7.1 on the Richter), it's totally awe-inspiring. I was getting ready to wash my truck, and was carrying a bucket of soapy water across the yard. Suddenly the trees started shaking, and I thought a sudden breeze had come up on what had been a quiet, muggy day. Then I saw that the barn was swaying back and forth, and realized it was a quake. A few steps further, and it really started rolling. Had to hang onto the side of the truck to remain standing. Giant redwood trees were whipping back and forth so far that the tops of them were almost horizontal. We had a large pasture in front of the property for horses, and there were large waves in the ground, moving up and down with more than a foot and a half of vertical displacement. I couldn't help but laugh... it was pretty funny. Interestingly, all the horses turned and stood facing in exactly the direction of the epicenter. Once it stopped & I could let go of the truck, I ran into the landlord's backyard to look at the pool. The waves were big enough to surf on.
A friend of mine who lived up in the Santa Cruz mountains was driving down a long, steep, straight road when the quake hit, and she actually saw a big wave in the pavement (the primary, or P-wave) coming straight at her. She stopped and rode it out in the truck.
Another, very LUCKY friend, had been driving on I-880, and had just emerged from the covered section of freeway that collapsed when the quake hit, so wasn't caught in that awful disaster. He said it was weird... felt like he had a front flat tire, so he stopped on the side of the freeway to check his tires. As did several hundred other people! Imagine the whole freeway stopping, and everyone looking at their tires.... a 'Chinese fire drill', California-style.
My mom lives directly on top of the epicenter of the Northridge quake of ྚ. It was a very sharp vertical quake, and it literally threw her out of her bed, lengthwise. Good thing, because the bookshelf/headboard part of the bed fell over and landed where her head had been on the pillow.
I lived down there during the 1971 Sylmar quake, and I was trying to stay in my bed while it bucked like a bronco. My sister was in the bathroom hanging onto the sink & screaming. We had a jillion aftershocks from that one, which were more unnerving than the original quake. Every time we had an aftershock, another of my sisters started hyperventilating. That night, my parents were having the floor measured for new carpets. The poor contractor doing the measurements was so rattled by the shocks, not to mention everyone screeching and running out of the house when they hit, that he measured everything wrong, and the carpet they brought didn't fit. So a couple weeks later he had to come back and do it all over again. I was in Jr. College back then, and had a part-time job working at a stable. After the quake, when the sun came up I went up to the stables for work that day, and it was too dangerous to clean stalls with the horse in there during the aftershocks, so I had to take each horse out and put it in a corral while I cleaned the stall. Took me forever! I was up there all alone all day, and wasn't really worried, 'til I sat down on the ground to sharpen a pair of animal clippers. THAT'S when I realized that the ground was continually moving all the time.... jiggling very faintly, sort of like Jello. That's what got me feeling spooked.
Another time, I think in the 80's, when I was at work we had a long, not-that-strong, rolling quake. I was in the basement using the copy-machine at the time. I'd had a migraine that day and had just taken Fiorinal for it, which made me feel a little strange sometimes. While at the copy machine, I was feeling really dizzy and strange, and hearing strange creaking noises. I'm thinking, 'Wow... I don't feel so hot!' The rolling continued, and I felt kind of nauseous. Tried not to look at the light in the copier, which has triggered migraines in me in the past. Noticed lots of people standing in the doorway to the Medical Records dept. and Radiation Oncology, and my foggy brain wondered why they were all taking their break at the same time. Still felt sick, and decided that if I didn't feel better within the hour, that I would go home to bed. Right about then, (with the floor still rolling), someone commented to me on how nonchalantly I was copying away during an earthquake! I was actually relieved to learn that's what the problem was, and not a reaction to the medication! :D
but remember, back then that WAS scary. LOL. sm
I remember going with my friend to a matinee and when the shark came up onto the back of the boat, we both of us pulled our feet up on the seat. LOL.
Scary - you gotta be kidding
Lol - that's the most ridiculous thing I've read thus far. Scary?? Well, I guess most of the men around the world are scary then - ha?
So glad to hear that! They are scary to watch! nm

Labyrinthitis - I've had it sev times - it is scary - you just need (sm)
some seasick med most likely. It is an inner ear infection - doesn't usually cause pain but causes the symptoms you have. don't worry - almost guaranteed that is what it is! See your doc for probably Meclizine and maybe a decongestant, maybe even antibiotics.
that is the scary thing - lets face it -
I have lived well over half my life and reading the obituaries (I have no idea why I do this) I see younger and younger people - 50s, early 60s - dying all the time. What my daughter apparently doesn't realize is that I might not have 10 years left - actually she should - a 52-year-old woman that worked with her father-in-law recently collapsed at work - died later at hospital of AAA - very little symptoms.
Ha ha...that's pretty funny...well, and kind of scary:-) nm
Has this ever happened to anyone - kind of weird/scary
Okay, hope this doesn't sound too weird but just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.
Laying in bed trying to fall asleep (alone - DH in other room) and I hear what sounds like (for lack of better words) a huge tank or bulldozer or train almost racing through my mind, it is so loud almost deafening. My body starts vibrating almost like a throbbing vibrating and I'm paralyzed. I've got my eyes open and can see but I can't move a muscle and when I try to call for DH no sound comes out. This lasts for maybe a few seconds then goes away. Very odd feeling and a little scary. This is about the 4th time in my life it's happened. Just wondered if it's happened to anyone else.
Scary stuff, but I don't recall seeing any nudity
nm
Scary reports on Eladil possible side effects, though. (sm)
From FDA website:
Possible risk of cancer: As noted in the Elidel Cream label and patient Medication Guide, although a link has not been made, rare cases of cancer (for example, skin and lymphoma) have been reported in patients who use Elidel Cream. The manufacturer is conducting studies to examine the risk of cancer. These studies may take many years to complete.
Think you had a large garden or orb-weaving spider there! Scary

In the spirit of Halloween - favorite scary movie?
I'm too chicken to watch scary movies most of the time! I though Sixth Sense was good, but I guessed the ending half way through. Stir of Echoes scared me pretty good. I thought The Ring was horrible until the very end when I just about peed my pants! How about you all?
