Medically....no more??

I have always had abnormal bleeding...so to have conceived naturally was amazing. Abnormal heavy bleeding returned after labour & lasted 12 months. Finally got it under some sort of control but would now love another baby....but as soon as I stopped taking the pill...bleeding returns & is horrific. The consultants & doctors have all advised (even when DS was 10wks old) that I have 'permanent procedures' to ensure I don't suffer anymore...but it rules out any babies. Am I being selfish to keep trying to get this condition under control so I can have another baby...or do I just count my lucky stars I have my amazing DS?

If your want for another baby outweighs the pain etc of the bleeding, then not selfish at all - but only you know that.
Which is totally unhelpful I know, but its such a personal thing

That's what makes it so hard because I would love another baby & the consultancies say that 'health-wise' I am better pregnant! But it's getting the bleeding under control long enough to ovulate..etc...etc. I shouldn't be moaning as I do have a wonderful DS...but I would love him to have a sibling. Just hope this course of medication works & gets it under some sort of control.
