I recently learned that I’m one of the lucky ones who’s been able to become pregnant after having my hysterectomy. I’m not saying this to brag, I’m just sharing my story. The miracle I was able to experience was the same as the one I experienced after having my hysterectomy.
After my surgery, I went straight to work and didn’t have a lot of time to take care of myself. When I finally got back to my apartment, I had a few months to do with what little time I had left. This is when I knew I had to start thinking about getting pregnant again. I have been on this journey since I was 25 years old, so it was time to give it a shot.
When I got back to my apartment I tried to take care of myself as much as I could, but just couldn’t quite find time to work out. Just a few weeks after my surgery I started to feel the first cramping. It was a hot mess, and I just wanted to go to bed. So I went to the gym, and it quickly became clear where my cramping was coming from.
I was pretty sure I had no idea what that was all about, but a month later I was pregnant. My husband was very excited and I was very excited too. I just didn’t know how to feel. I had this crazy, intense, intense feeling that I might never be pregnant again.
That was the beginning of the end. After six months I had to come off my meds and I was on bed rest for two solid weeks. Luckily my body can handle being on bed rest, because it was still doing fine. But my body wasn’t fine. I had a huge infection that we had to cut out of my abdomen. After four days of antibiotics, the infection came back, and it caused a second surgery.
Yes, surgery. After that, I had to take three weeks off from work and then I had a surgery to repair a tear in my adenomyosis. And now I have to be on bed rest and not work. And if I do anything, I have to stop eating and drink.
My adenomyosis was a condition in which my uterus was pushed up and out of place. It’s a very common condition, and the surgeon who removed the infection was actually amazed at the amount of tissues that were left in place. My adenomyosis looked like a bad scar, but the new doctor I’m seeing is doing a really good job repairing it.
My adenomyosis is the kind of condition that makes it difficult to pee and pooping, so it’s no surprise that I’m experiencing issues with that side of myself. I’m not sure if it’s just the surgery itself, or if I’m just a bit too used to my normal eating habits that it’s become an issue.
The miracle pregnancy was a result of a hysterectomy performed after 20 years of carrying a baby. I was just about to give birth to a baby daughter, and I figured if I had a hysterectomy, I would have some extra time to work on my body. I went in for the surgery after I started feeling nauseous and a little dizzy.
I had a hysterectomy after a 20-year-long battle with endometrial cancer. I had had my first hysterectomy when I was 13 and it was a huge success. I spent the next two years trying to get pregnant again. I knew that I was going to need the surgery again because I had cancer in my cervix, but I wasn’t sure if I would be able to have another baby when I got out of the hospital.
