" Hello, my name is Kaila and i'm 27 yrs old. I recently had emergency surgery and had a softball size tumor removed from the inside of my right ovary. Luckly the doc was able to save my ovary but i'm still having some major cramps with my periods and so i went to my doc today who did my surgery and now i'm gonna be having a partical hysterectomy. My question is how many of you had really bad cramps with lots of clotting and how long does it take to recover? The reason i ask how long is because i have a 2 1/2 daughter and my son is soon to be 1 so need to know how long i'm gonna be down for. So ty for taking time out to read this and hopfully answer my questions.

Kaila "
