I am with Cherie, are the alternatives working? have you had a TVUS to check them? I am home recuperating from double surgery, one of which was a total abdominal hysterectomy. I am very happied I had mine, but it is major surgery. If you don't need it, then great, but if you do need it, just be informed about the surgery and recovery and you should be fine. I also hope all goes well with you!
