My husband and I had 2 kids ( I had one from previous relationship and hubby and I had 1 together). When our daughter was almost 1, we suffered our first miscarriage. From 2013-2017 we suffered 7 miscarriages total. Drs couldn’t figure out why.

We had test after test done and still nothing. We ended up needing medications to get pregnant with our son AND to hold on to our son. He was born in 2018. It was the worst pregnancy. I was clearly high risk after losing so many and had so many problems throughout the pregnancy as well.

I went in for a dr appointment and explained to my dr that I was in a lot of pain and my periods were off. So, she did an exam and I was in EXCRUCIATING pain. So, she did a biopsy of my uterus. Came back “normal”, but she wanted me to go for an ultrasound.

Went to the ultrasound and the tech said everything looked good, but that my dr would get in touch with me about the results. About a week later, she called.

She said “you have a condition called Adenomyosis”. I had NEVER heard of it before. Endometriosis, sure, but what is Adenomyosis. It’s the opposite of Endometriosis, the uterus grows INTO the muscle instead of outside. It’s EXTREMELY painful, is linked to infertility and miscarriages and makes having sex the worst thing in the world!

Next step?! Hysterectomy. At 30 years old, all I can think is “aren’t I too young for that?!” “Shouldn’t I be in the best health of my life?!” The answer is no. Health problems have no age, unfortunately.

I am nervous and scared for the surgery, considering I have 3 kids to take care of, one of which just turned 1 and were still breastfeeding.

The whole point of this post was to bring awareness and to show other ladies that they aren’t alone!! Be strong!!
