PCOS/Endometriosis/Hysterectomy

I just underwent a laproscopic hysteroscopy and have been diagnosed with PCOS and endometriosis. I have debilitating cramps all month long and my quality of life has just gotten increasingly worse. I have gone all of the traditional routes of treatment, Mirena IUD, birth control pills and nothing has worked. My OB/GYN is suggesting our next course of treatment would be a hysterectomy.

I was wondering if anyone has undergone alternative forms of treatment in lieu of undergoing a hysterectomy. I am 33 and the idea of loosing my uterus is terrifying at this moment.

TIA

Ahhh. Okay, I can see why the provider made that suggestion, now. Sorry I mis-understood your situation! If the Depo Lupron and nafarelin acetate aren't an option, then I don't really have any other suggestions, I fear. O:( I hope that you can get some useful data from other VPers!
