I don’t have children and never planned on having children so, it was kind of… I think I was born to have a hysterectomy early. So I didn’t really have a lot of energy on it. I had been taking the pill for years, constantly, on a constant cycle, so I didn’t have to have a period. I think for me it wasn’t that big of a deal, it was just something that I had to get done and I was ready.
