Hi I am Whitney. I am 27 (will be 28 in August). I just saw my gyno on Thursday & was told that I maybe looking at a Supracervical Hysterectomy if the next 3 months of birth control doesn't help with my chronic pelvic pain & ovarian cysts. Part of me wanted to tell him lets just go in & take it all out!!! But then again I have 3 small kids & don't want to have surgery right now. I am SUPER tired of hurting ALL the time. It keeps me from doing daily chores & playing with my kids at times. I know I am young but I am done with my childbearing stage of my life. I am looking forward to raising my kids PAIN FREE!!!
