My Ovaries Hate Me

Every time I go to the doctor there seems to be ANOTHER problem. As of today, I am now aware that I have my 7th ovarian tumor (tumor, not a cyst, but I have plenty of those as well). I just had surgery to remove 3 tumors in March. And I need ANOTHER biopsy.

Now they want to remove at least half of my cervix (or a full hysterectomy given the results of my biopsy). At least I’ve had time to consider a hysterectomy, but it doesn’t make the reality of it any easier.

I’m 23 but I feel like I’m 60. Someone invent a full body transplant asap!

You really are such a strong person to be so candid about your feelings and how bravely you are enduring all of this. I have not met anyone as brave as you.:slight_smile:
May Allah Mian give you Shifaa:hugz:

Re: My Ovaries Hate Me

i don't know what to say, must be nature's way of testing yr patience . May allah bless u with health & happiness as well as a companion who could support u throughout this ordeal, amen

Re: My Ovaries Hate Me

^ I'm not brave. I've dealt with the knowledge of this since I was 17 when I had my first surgery. I just can't believe it's happening again so soon.

Now I'm searching around for a body transplant. I'd like to be about 5'5," curvaceous, and petite. Any offers?

:)

Body Transplant eh...well you'll have to cut the extra 3 inches off of the one I own to make it 5.' 5":D. want to trade?

I think I'll keep the offers to girls only lol.

There's something about hair in so many places that really turns me away from wanting to be male.

Re: My Ovaries Hate Me

err she is a girl, just above avg for desis height..

I'm 5'2" right now :( Working with models though, makes me want to be 5'9."

But then I'd be taller than most men!

Re: My Ovaries Hate Me

Did u have the genetic testing

Um, no? I'm not aware of that being any common practice for this type of problem.

Re: My Ovaries Hate Me

MatineeSiren hugs
Hang in there girl..May Allah make it easy on you, ameen

Matineesiren, you are so strong. i have had lump in my breast many times and had to go for biopsy and even though it wasnt anything, it did scared me alot. i ended up going myself without telling my family as i didnt know wat to say to anyone.

than when doctor told me i had POCs and to me it was end of the world. the thought of not having kids or struggle to have kids was too much to bear.

thank god things have changed now and i am expecting now and my lumps come and go.

you are too strong and i admire you for it. you are going thorugh alot and Allah has given to will to cope.

I found out I had pcos when I was 16, so it wasn't so bad. I've had a while to cope. They talked about freezing my eggs but I'm not really interested. I wouldn't dare think of using a surrogate mother, and all that money and time holding those eggs would be a waste (especially considering they have to be fertilized before freezing).

I don't really have plans to have children, unless I adopt. My morals don't really allow me to, but I still want the option in case I ever change my mind.
And it's really not just that that hurts. It's just that I'm always sick, and I've been dealing with the possibility of cancer for years. It's so stressful.

Re: My Ovaries Hate Me

Matinee, I’m so sorry to hear about your health struggles :hugz: .

You never know what Allah has in store for you, who he tests and why. I wish you health, happiness, and a blessed future.

I knew i had pcos when i was in late teens but didnt really care at that age and doctor told me i might even have it as i am on border line. but 2-3 years later i was told i have it and i couldnt concieve and thats when i got really stressed out as each month i would hope i dont get my period and that i would be pregnant but luckly i only struggled for several months and i was worked hard to loose weight as doctor told me that its my only option as my pocs is not extreme as my periods were regular.

with my lumps they are regular and doctors said they could be anything, nothing or even cancer. now i have stopped thinking of them and dont really care if i have lump or not. trying to ignore it totally.

i can understand how it feels to be in waiting line not knowing whats there for you. we can all say that we understand your situation but its too tough to be in your position. i pray Allah gives you strength to cope and you come out of it quickly.

Re: My Ovaries Hate Me

MS I want to adopt too! Ive thought about my whole life...its something Ive always wanted to do. People say you cant treat an adopted child as your own but I want to try and prove people wrong on that.

MS, I think and hope that Allah will give you the strength you need to make it through this time. Look at it this way...Allah swt only tests those he loves. :)

BTW, Whats POCS?

Re: My Ovaries Hate Me

^^ it is PCOS...polycystic ovaries syndrome

Re: My Ovaries Hate Me

i don't care that you've have had time to adjust, you're still hella brave in my opinion!
also, what sahar said.
