The article recounts the author's journey with uterine fibroids, which went undetected until pregnancy. Despite having three fibroids that did not hinder her pregnancies, they grew significantly afterward, causing severe menstrual issues. After dealing with excessive bleeding and anemia, the author learns about the worsening fibroids through an ultrasound and contemplates a hysterectomy, highlighting the emotional turmoil that accompanies such a decision.
Did you know you have fibroids? That was the first thing I heard when I went for my first ultrasound after finding out I was pregnant.
My first period after the twins were born came with full rage. I knew something was wrong, but I figured I was just perimenopausal.
My OB/GYN thought differently and sent me for an ultrasound, which showed that my fibroids had more than doubled in size.
I'm getting a hysterectomy to remove the fibroids, and I'm having a lot of feelings about it.
