29, New, Doc Suggested Hyster

Hi, I'm 29 with one child and had a tubal a few years ago. Now I suffer from PMDD and very bad migraines and cramps during pms, not to mention all of the emotional effects. At my last visit, after trying different birth control pills (which turned me into a monster) he brought up the H word. I have an appt on Monday and I plan to bring it up then. I came here on the advice of a friend and I'm glad I did. I have lots of questions and concerns and I look forward to meeting all of you.
