Since you already have had your tubes tied and an ablation, I dont see why a hysterectomy would be a problem for a doctor - especially since you do not want any more children and could not have them even if you did.

I would suggest that you find a better doctor, preferably an excision specialist. You may not even need a hysterectomy. Some women have the hysterectomy only to find that their endo pain returns. Please try to find a new and good doctor. Try the endodocs@yahoogroups website to get a referral. They can help you more with that. As far as Lupron goes, some women have success with it, and others don't. Just be aware it is a temporary fix - not a permanent one, and at some point you will have to stop taking it because of the side effects. Good luck to you, and congrats on the two children. All of us who have children and endo are VERY lucky indeed.
