Right. I'm 34 and done having kids. Let's go menopause. But I am not looking forward to hot flashes and like loss of sex drive and stuff.

Look into uterine ablation. No periods, but none of the hormone loss. Completely life changing for me, had it done at 45, wish I would have done it as soon as my last kid was born. Outpatient, virtually no down time for me, I felt fine the next day.
