Re: 5 months post UAE and pleased

[Guest guest]

Hi carmon,

I also had the UAE 5 months ago. I also had horrendous hemorrhages and was

anemic for 15 years. It wears you out. Unfurtunately I haven't had my period at

all for this 5 months. I was on the pill to control heavy bleeding until

january.

Did it take you 2 months to get your period?

How old are you? I am 43 only but I fear that the UEA may have precipitated

early menopause. My mother had normal menopause at 44-45.

I never thought I would say this but I am looking forward to getting my period

so it shows I am not menopausal. I am having hot flashes also this late after

the surgery. I had an MRI a couple days ago and with the size of my fibroids-

19-20 weeks they shrunk 50%. I should feel great but I don't. I hope I am wrong

but I think It pushed me into earlier menopause.

Women who have a family history of earlier menopause need to be careful because

it can throw you into early menopause. Scary.!!!

I FEEL HORRIBLE. THE REASON I DID THE SURGERY WAS SO THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE

THE BIRTH CONTROL PILLS. WHICH I ABSOLUTELY COULDN'T TOLERATE (SEVERE

DEPRESSION,IRRITABILITY, MOODY...) TOOK ABOUT 20 OF THEM DETESTED THEM. NOW I

MAY HAVE TO TRY TO SEARCH FOR HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR THE BAD MENOPAUSE

SYMPTOMS. TRULY NOT WHAT I WANTED

BUYER BEWARE THEY SAY THAT THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN THAT GET MENOPAUSE AFTER

UFE IS 51 BUT IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY HISTORY OF EARLY MENOPAUSE IT CAN BE MUCH

EARLIER. I AM ONLY 43!!!! AND I FEEL HORRIBLE AFTER 5 MONTHS OF THE SURGERY.

NO BLEEDING AT ALL!!! EARLY MENOPAUSE???? HOT FLASHES, IMSOMNIA...
