I've got many issues at moment, the worst is bleeding dysfunctional for long periods of time.

● Currently on prostap but having heart palps all the time and anxiety, is this normal?

● I want children so bad but don't want bleeding every month and ongoing , can you have everything removed except your ovaries and still get pregnant via IVF?

thanx

Xx

You would need a surrogate to carry your baby but could still have a baby that was biologically your child this way xxx

you'd need a functioning uterus, if that's removed then no you can't carry it yourself. However you can as Janine33 said use a surrogate.

Heart palps can also be oestrogen led, I have these and got my heart checked out as have had them for years. I have them around what would be period - I have mirena so never know when I'm due on!

Hope this helps?

Thanx for your response. I have the palps all the time and a general feeling of unwellness everyday of every moment. I'm persevering with my job but it's tough. I don't know whether to come off the prostap. I'm been on livial for 2 weeks and only thing that's changed is lesser hot flushes and night sweats. Could do with any further advice xx

I’m not on any other treatment except mirena so cannot comment on them but hope you get sorted.

You def need your uterus to carry a child but eggs from your ovaries can be used in IVF if you have a surrogate to carry your child?
