I am 43 years old and have been experiencing heavy periods for quite a while now. I had a tubal ligation 7 years ago and the bleeding has gotten continuously worse over the years. I had an endometrial biopsy done and the diagnosis was endometrial hyperplasia (about 2 yrs ago). On my last visit in October to the gyn. he said that I was probably not ovulating anymore, hence the thick uterine lining. I am always tired, and at the time of my period getting extremely weak and feeling bad, not able to do much of anything, feeling like I may black out. I had a blood test done about 3 weeks ago, about a week after my period started and the hemo. was 10. My Dr. said a count of 10 would not make me feel this bad. Could the blood count actually be going lower at the time of the bleeding? I have tried oral progesterone treatment, but made me retain an extreme amount of fluid, so I discontinued them. I definitely have to do something to correct this, and have been weighing the options of a hysterectomy or endometrial ablation. I'm very confused. Any suggestions?

I am 25 years old, and 9-days post TAH. I feel really good, and would like to start doing exercises to promote the abdominal recovery. After scouring several bookstores today, I was unable to find anything available within 6 weeks (by that time, I hope not to need it). Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for the assistance.
