Why wait for menopause?

I’ve seen numerous logs and comments from women my age (49) about TOM. Honestly, it took me a bit to figure out what that was. I’m surprised that women still menstruate when they don’t have to. I began having very heavy periods in my late 30’s to a point where it would determine where I went and what I wore. I was always exhausted. My doc recommended birth control pills (even though my tubes have been tied since age 30) but they didn’t seem to help much. Ready to schedule a NovaSure ablation as 2 of my girlfriends had that and it worked wonders, the doc said we could try an IUD called Mirena. It delivers a hormone to the uterus instead of all through your body like birth control pills. I only have light spotting about every 2-3 months. It does not have to be removed for 5 years so it should get me through to menopause.

I know this isn’t for everyone but if some of you are experiencing anything like this, talk to your doctor!
