I thought that percentage was rather high, myself, but, as you mentioned, it IS a pretty narrow patient demographic. All I know is that as I get older, the instances of AUB are getting more frequent and they're lasting longer. Hormones are doing less and less and I'm becoming more anemic. I'll be open to suggestion at my appointment on Wednesday, but I'm tired of the bleeding running my life. 8 day periods with 4 heavy days are my norm. I think I'm ready for surgery. :)
