After MORE than 17 pregnancies, (5 live births, one still birth, 4 back to back ectopics, and NUMEROUS early losses), a tubal ligation, tubal reversal, and tubal removal and c section .... I am saying farewell to a old friend. My uterus. I met with an OBGYN this week to look over my most recent ultrasound, that showed a large mass in the wall of my uterus. tween the pregnancies (mostly losses), the endo and PCOS, he STRONGLY recommended I have a FULL hysterectomy, including the removal of my ovaries. I am only 35 this year, so I will say I was a little taken back initially. However, when I go back and think through my GYN history, its apparent, I will ave a much better quality of life after its all said and done. Truth be told, my hesitancy inst related to the desire for more children. We are content, happy and feeling healed from the years of losses. The twins have completed our family and we are so happy to be past ever trying to add to our family again. My resistance has more...
I'm so sorry 2 hear that (((hugs)))

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteI'm so incredibly sorry. :( I really thought this was it for you... Have you had autoimmune testing done? Natural killer cells, antinuclear antibodies, antiphospholipid, etc? Most REs don't believe in it, but I've seen tons of women have repeated miscarriages or prolonged infertility get testing done and treat natural killer cells and go on to have healthy pregnancies and babies! Bring it up with your doctor if you haven't already... I'm thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteI have asked my RE about it, he does not believe it is my "issue" but I am thinking otherwise now...I contacted DR. braverman, and may try and do a consult when I get my FSA card...I also contacted another RE in my area to see if they do some of the testing there...
DeleteI am at a loss...
