I've said it a million times, but I'd trade my period to be able to pee again in a nanosecond.  I don't tend to have heavy periods, and I never did.  They generally only last 3-4 days (although, I'm currently on my eighth day of this one).  I'm 33, and have been on dialysis almost 8 years.  I don't see me ever being healthy enough to have kids, so I wouldn't mind having some kind of medical intervention to stop my periods.  I do have issues of low blood pressure when I'm on my period, and nurses kinda freak when your bp drops suddenly while you're on the machine. *L*

Yup I totally agree with you. Although I wouldnt mind trying to have another child at some point.

It is my utmost dream and desire to reach out to other kidney patients for them to know that they are not alone in this, also to reach out to those who one day have to go on dialysis though my book i am writing!

Then Lisa, you do not want the ablasion.  You will not be able to have children if you have that done. With endometrios looming, I had to choose hysterectomy or ablasion, either way "NO MORE" young ones for me.  It really devasted me, but I have excepted the fact that it was not meant to be.

I would love to have more, but Im also Blessed to have the one daughter.  She inturn has provided me with 2 fantastic Grandsons and they are such a joyous treasure from God!  Im like on cloud 9 when they are around.

God Bless,

I have had regular periods the whole time I was on dialysis, except when I was super thin.  I have had people tell me that I would stop my period or that they have never had a patient who still had their period.

I was blessed to have a little girl once I had my transplant, so I am glad that I never did anything surgical to stop my period while I was on dialysis.
