I have had a pretty rough day today- Really starting to hit me we wont ever have a rainbow baby again...I am starting to pack away my maternity, and baby stuff....Decided to throw out the vision board out in the rain too...Just seemed fitting...
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 wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. Throwing out your vision board in the rain is heartbreaking, because of what it symbolizes. I know this has got to be SO VERY TOUGH right now. Hold your hubby and kids closely and hang in there beautiful. This too shall pass.
