Hysterectomy - Tumblr Posts
Ok, had my hysterectomy two days ago. Everything went well, no complications. And I have actually stopped taking the pain meds, because this is legitimately less painful that any period cramp I've ever had. I didn't think my cramps were that bad? Hearing the way some folks talk about them, it didn't seem like what I was dealing with was all that extreme. But if three surgical incisions and two missing organs hurts less than the cramps did I was probably just not processing the pain well at the time. I do still have one ovary left, so it's possible I could get cramping from that, but they took the right side out, so if I get any pain over there it's probably the appendix instead. Ether way. I have been successfully removed from the gene pool.
Just got a letter in the mail from a Pro-life organization. Like... bit late fellas. The uterus is already gone lol. No I am not voting for your political candidate, thank you for telling me who it is.
Does anyone know the name of that list on reddit where they have it by state doctors that will perform hysterectomies without issues?

I can make my own decisions.
My life, my body, my choice.
“When I say “I’m not having kids” I mean, “I am not having kids.” that is NOT your cue to say “Oh you’ll have kids” or “You’ll change your mind” or “It’s different when they’re your own”. My decision is not a personal attack on your chosen lifestyle. It is my choice and it is not your place to question it.

Hello, just a little life sign between the scheduled postings.
Surgery was fine. I am alive.
They ripped out what shouldnt be in me.
But still a bit sleepy.
Next goal, shitting without bleeding 😬😬😬
I am trying to figure out what my options are to permentally stop my period.
I first heard of hysterectomy but then I saw lots of risks like dementia heat flashes and more.
I have also heard of a type of ablation where they destroy the lining in the uterus.
It just is kinda freaky what things could go wrong. I never wanted a period, as a kid I knew I wasn't a girl, but I knew I wasn't a boy, so I decided I had to be a girl, but I felt I wasn't girl enough for all the puberty things I had been told about. When puberty happened my world fell apart.
I'm still too young for any surgery right now, but I feel like I need to better know my options. I want to make the right decision. I want to stop my menstruation cycle permentally, with as few negative side effects as possible.
If any of you have feedback or could tell me about your experiences, I would love to hear it.
I have had a hysterectomy and lemme tell y’all smthn real quick about my experience.
Pros:
No babies.
No period.
Less dysphoria.
Better mental health literally immediately.
Cons:
No drinking/smoking for set amount of time each. (I use cbd for pain and that is not allowed during Big Pain Meds, after which I can have supplements but not carts)
No sexual anything for set amount of time (both external and internal for different amounts of time).
Body requires so much fucking calories and liquids. Get high calorie food and drinks. You will thank me. It’s annoying how often I have to eat.
For the first 24 hours after discharge I could feel the empty space where the removed tissue once resided. This is a wild experience as my body attempts to adjust to the new space and everything fights to take up as much of it as possible, as if they ascribe to Manifest Destiny.
Currently (day 19) suffering the third day of my belly button nerve being triggered from the inside by my shifting organs. This feels like I still have the ghost of my umbilical chord attached and it’s attempting to pierce me and suck out my insides but it hasn’t figured out the sucking thing yet, as well as it’s made of ghost so it’s just… touching the nerves in a ghostly way. Tartarus hath found me before my soul has left mine body and teases me with what is yet to come.
Farting. So much farting. Also, constipation is the worst. Take your anti constipation stuff. It’s not worth shitting rocks.
Will update with more Fun Facts as they come!

Hello my precious little lovelies :) so after a fun little move and too much time away from writing my life has once again thrown me for a loop and I will most likely have to take a bit more time away from writing.
Two weeks ago I found out I have to get a semi-emergent hysterectomy done at the beginning of August a week before my 25th birthday. The official date is August 13th and I will be on recovery bed for 3 weeks after that. After the first week I should be well enough to write but IDK if I will actually be up for that. I have a lot of confusing feelings around this tbh. I never wanted kids, but not having a choice in the matter anymore feels.... strange.
I hope to write a bit while I'm recovering, gods know I'll go mad if I don't do something other than wallow in self pity and eat pain killers like candy all day everyday for weeks on end. Thank you all for sticking with me - this page and the love and support I get on it mean the world.
Talk soon, XOXOXOXO <3
Naboo :)
Just Smile...
Hello Hello and welcome to last week’s six sentence story, based on the prompt word of melancholy which I am pretty sure I misused below. I wrote this whole thing up and comepletely forgot to post and link it. ADHD for the win! Follow our narrator as they try smiling their way through life, and how that goes for her. I had been smiling so long that my cheeks hurt, and I didn’t want to cry any…

Transition Update!
Huge step in my transition journey taken today! I talked to my gynecologist today and we came up with a plan of attack to stop my periods! We decided that we'll start with endometrial ablation and insert a progesterone only IUD at the same time to hopefully make the ablation last longer since it isn't a permanent procedure. We're hoping that, by the time the ablation's "shelf life" expires, I'll be in a better place to get a hysterectomy so I can take the months off needed to heal. Hopefully, by this time next month, I'll be able to stop my birth control completely and not have to deal with periods for a few years! Even better, I hope my testosterone will have killed my uterus as much as possible too!
