Hello Ladies,
I've been thinking of the future, and something serious has reared it's ugly head in the process. I've started my family and have two little ones, but I know I'll go as far as 8 kids (if I and hubby can handle it)! 
I've already made the BIG decision to not breast feed (please don't give me a lecture on this, I'm well aware of all the facts, but I've thought long and hard about it and my two boys have done fine without it). But now I have to make another decision.
Is it a good idea or a ridiculous idea to, after I've finished my family, have my ovaries and womb removed? I feel that, since I would have finished having children, I needn't continue to go through periods, cramps and other such nonsense! My husband thinks it may be a good idea because of this, but he also says that he'll stand by me whatever decision I make.
Of course, this is a huge decision and would mean some serious surgery, so I need some advice. Any ladies out there who have had their womb/ovaries removed? What was the experience like? How was the recovery? Do you regret it? Has it affected your life majorly? Does it make you feel like less of a woman because they're gone? That is my biggest fear of all.
