OK, this period can subside back into my normal daily light-flow-and-minimal-cramping ANY TIME NOW. I've been on Aleve since Thursday for cramps, and I'm going through the Tampax Super like a hay fever sufferer goes through Kleenex. Dang it all, if I'm going to cough and feel that sudden "Change The Tampon Five Minutes Ago" notification, and if I'm going to have this much cramping, then by golly I want 21 days off, too! GRRR.

I bet it's stress.

It is indeed possible, and I know a surgeon who will do it (keeping the cervix) laparoscopically. I'm impressed.

I've also heard from women who are very pleased with the results of having the cervix gone, too. That surgery, of course, can be done vaginally, and is in some ways even faster to recover from. No risk of cervical cancer ever again either! But yeah, me, I'm leaning strongly toward keeping the cervix.
