I have to be honest with you guys, after how much the damn organ hurt while it was in my body, I feel fine now that it’s out. Even just my regular period cramps were ten times worse than this. That makes me feel reassured that I wasn’t exaggerating the pain before. It actually DID feel like my uterus was trying to yank itself right out of my body. It actually felt worse.
Anyways, I got my doc to take a picture of the fibroid (noncancerous tumor) that was growing on it. I am willing to share it if you guys want to see it, but I would put it under a trigger tag in another post. It is freaking huge, and I can now confirm that I wouldn’t have been able to have a baby even if I had tried, because that thing would have been in the way. It was oddly validating. Choosing to adopt rather than reproduce was always going to be the path we chose. It was just a lot less painful to take because we didn’t spend years trying and failing to conceive, first.
Hey Ninja. So sorry to hear you suffered through all that but glad you’ve got to where you are. It’s so bloody hard these days on everyone with current politic but glad you adopted and it works for you and yours. It really is important and so glad you could do that…
Hope you heal well and life moves on regardless. Much peace and focus on that recovery and glad you got it done…Only wish you the bestest!
I’m glad you are feeling better @NinjaComet i have gone through that same surgery due to fibroids and endometriosis when I was in my late 30s and it was a huge relief.
