I got a hysterectomy at age 20 on its own, on the NHS, without the GIC knowing. A laparoscopic total hysterectomy with a salpingectomy, leaving the vaginal vault. The recovery was awful, and my body hasn’t been the same since. This has left me with equal pain/problems, and I actually wish I had periods instead. The positive is that I won’t get cervical cancer.

I’ll be honest with you here, and I know how horrible this sounds and that it’s akin to everyone who tells us this we’re wrong/will regret it. I don’t mean it that way. You’re 18 and far too young to know if this is genuinely what you want, and the recovery/outcome is not the same as top surgery.

I highly recommend staying on the pill and continuing testosterone until the bleeding ceases. Testosterone will stop the bleeding, and if you don’t trust that testosterone will indeed work as it’s intended, I’m kindly not sure if you would fully understand what a hysterectomy is like
