Don't get me wrong, the physical recovery from my hysterectomy was rough but at almost 3 months out I can say that I am in absolutely no pain for the first time in years. Unfortunately, the emotional and hormonal rollercoaster is far from over.Everywhere I look it seems like someone else is pregnant....


Hi Jennifer
I have been following your story with great interest. I was wondering about how you felt emotionally after all of this. I suffered from infertility for some years so while I cannot truly understand what you are going through...I have been there where I could not stand to see pregnant ladies on the street or else struggled with things like being invited to a baby shower. It is very hard.
Reading your full story makes me believe too that you made the right decision for you. Who could live with all that pain? And like you say...your kids have their mom back.
I am very interested in the hormone replacement therapy. You hear so many things. I think it gives a lot of hope for women who have gone through a hysterectomy. What are the known risks?
Thank you so much for sharing so much of yourself here. I know that it has helped me to understand what many women go through with this surgery. I had no idea.
I hope you continue to recover in all ways. You are a very courageous person.
