Yeah, there are medical definitions for "partial" and "whole" which don't make sense to me. Something weird like: "partial" doesn't take the ovaries, or something. I tend to get that wrong. So I use the word "partial" like a layman would, and I meant something where they just take most of the uterus.

Mirena seems to be really good for most of the women I've talked to who've used it. I've heard very few people gripe about it. Hopefully you have room for it. (I suppose if you had room for Alan...!) There's also something called, I think, NuvaRing, which dispenses hormones locally too. It's shaped like and is placed like the ring of a diaphragm. I think some women stop or slow bleeding on that too. Worth a look.
