Anyone Hear About the Surgury to get rid of period but still have babies?

Yes, I have heard of it. It's called an ovarectomy. The female can then have en vitro fertilization.

For anyone that wants children, that, to me, does not seem to be a sensible option.

Why do we think that it is a good thing to stop a woman's periods?

So what if it's annoying...it's nature and it happens for a reason. My brother told me that women are not allowed to pray in the Muslim religion while they are bleeding. I told him it's because they are already purifying themselves and don't need to pray during that time. Really, its the time of the month when the men need to put in some special prayers to help them survive. :wah:

If you stop getting your period there are no more good excuses to be a bitch. How can that be good? :sneaky:

This is a bit of a rant after a doctor pushed Depo Provera on me by exclaiming how my periods would eventually disappear and that this is a very desirable thing. Little note here. "Eventually" it will disappear on its own. Every time the male dominated medical profession comes up with a great idea like this I wish the Inquisition had wiped out doctors instead of midwives.

Perhaps "they" is a better word to use that "we"? Anyway... 1) someone's advertising a product or surgical tecnique so they are expecting to make money out of it. That's one reason. 2) Some people don't like having sex at that time, it can be very messy. 2a) Some people find it embarrassing (both sexes). 3) Erm... well, it's not "an idea put forward by Purveyors of Sanitary Wear By Appointment", so it's not them.... 4) Erm....

should not fool with "Mother Nature". this procedure could be for many reasons; ex: marriage, straight or gay? women athletes? women in service would love it, no dealing with dressings and mess while protecting our country? there has to be a purpose of some kind? :-6 this bloody mess needs to go...

I agree, Doctors are trained to prescribe Medication, therefore making money & creating further illness in people. People can heal themselves -- to a degree -- start reading about health...FDA wants to have control in natural medicine and remedys, we are preventing that from happening.

I agree. Messing around with Mother Nature is happening all too often nowadays. The results after surgery sure often tend to have unintended consequences - and they are not always physical. (Emotional/mental.)

surely however if someone is having to put up with such irregular and maybe even painful periods a solution needs to be found. I know how painful these things can be, I can't imagine having to cope with it for 3 weeks!!!! i know its nature but come on even nature gets it wrong sometimes!

Some people believe Doctors are God, so they take the medical route. Over-abundance of yeast can cause problems, there is a candida diet on-line, that helps to slow the feeding of yeast in the body. There are holistic remedies also, it is in the eye-of the beholder to chose their (choice) of approach. So many suffer from the draining mess...

Hmmm I don't see how you could not have periods and still be able to

"grow" a baby, the periods are the uterus losing the nutritious lining

it has built up for the baby to grow in!

A few years back, I had a procedure to "cauterize" the lining due to fibroids

and long bouts of heavy bleeding, which led to severe anemia. But this is

a serious step. I'm very glad I did it but then again, I've known since age

18 I never wanted children of my own.

Tmbsgrl, if I remember right you are pretty young, I know it's not much

comfort but you might "grow out" of this. I would bug the heck out of the

doctors treating you, there must be other options or different pills to try.

Do you know if you are allergic to horses? BCP's are made with pregnant

mare's urine and I suspect you might have had a reaction to that. Maybe

there are formulas for women to try who have this.

Good luck, sweetie, I feel for you!
