I have 2 children also. I was diagnosed after the birth of my 1st child who
is now 7. I was offered a hysterectomy last October, turned it down, and
fell pregnant with my 2nd child in November who is now 3.5 months.
I saw a homeopath to get my periods going because they were non existent.
In response to the breasts - you can have some of mine! They're a damn
nuisance!
