What would you do if you were a woman who?

What would you do if you were a woman who has high blood pressure and anemic with a very irregular period?Choices are:1) take birth control pills2) have an oblation (nova sure) 3) have a hysterectomy Before you answer, think about this:You have tried birth control before and it does not really help and you have very bad mood swings and start thinking of violent ways of dealing with a person when he/she starts to annoy you just a little and you have a job that depends on you keeping a level head. Not a good idea.You could have the oblation except the doctor says that you would have to have a hysterectomy after that because it most likely will not work in your case. You have spoke to women who had it done and it did not help and has also made some women’s periods worse.You could have a hysterectomy , but your husband it against you having it. Your finances are not good, You do not have a good record with surgeries and something always goes wrong.This is a very hard decision to make. Another thing to think about is all of your problems and way you need something done:Your period is running and ruining your life. You have pain during all the time and at times it brings you to tears because of the pain, yet you do not want to tell your husband because he may think you are rejecting him (as with most men). Your periods are unreal; you can have it for 6-14 days at a time they start without warning and you can have them 1-2 times a month. You have to wear super plus tampons and overnight pads at the same time because you can go through 6-8 s.p.tampons in 8 hours along with an overnight pad. Remember you are anemic so you get tired easy. You constantly are lethargic because of it and have been know to get worn out just by talking. When you use the bathroom it sounds like you are having a bowel movement every time because of the clots that come out. You have clots every period and some have been the size of the palm of your hand and looks like someone cut pieces of liver and put them in your toilet or they run down your legs when you take a shower without a tampon in. During the middle of the night, you get up to use the bathroom and change your pad but a couple of hours later you can get up and it runs down your legs because you have gone through a overnight pad. You are on the verge of buying diapers for your self because of the heavy flow, so heavy you go through a super plus tampon in 10 minutes. But, your symptoms are getting worse. A nurse draws blood for some test, she stares at it then ask you if you are on blood thinners and you tell her no. You notice your blood separated in 5 minutes and it normally takes 30 minutes and you also notice your blood is bright red and thin and not dark red and thick like it is suppose to be. When you have your period and are tired your vision is starting to go blurry off and on, your muscles are cramping and at times not wanting to flex, you start getting short of breath with chest tightness (you do not have asthma), and have heart palpitations. All are signs of severe anemia. You take your iron pill every day, but it is still getting worse. Your left side hurts with every period (in the spleen area not ovary area), your right side hurts also but you have already your gallbladder taken out and all that is left in the area is your liver. You are driving home from work and you start blacking out you are 2-3 miles down the road from were you where and do not remember driving it. On top of all that you are starting to have to wear pads because you are starting to get incontinence, you are losing control of all your bladder and guess what weeks later you are almost losing control of your bowels. So to recap, you are losing control over all of your bodily functions, all your muscles cramp and you feel like you are slowly suffocating; by the way you walk and stand all day and deal with the public for 8 hours a day. So, once again what will you do?
