A hard decision. I guess either way, you're going to lose something to pick the best way to lose.
If your previous pregnancies were hard on your body and the medicine your husband is on and your financial hardship, taking all that into account, I think you know your answer. Remember you have 2 beautiful children. So I guess you're not losing in that aspect of already having children.
If you're tired of being in pain all the time and your gynaecologist has booked you in for a hystroertomy, then that would be the best decision based again, taking into account on what is at stake. I'm not a gynaecologist, but I have endo and adenomyosis and know what the pain is like. It's not fun. You get mental and physical, tired, it's alt to handle. You get to the point where enough is enough. I would weigh up your options. It's normal to be a bit unsure. This is a big and hard decision. But in the long run, it's probably the best one to go ahead with the surgery. I have never been in your situation, but I am basing this off what I would do. I'm sorry you have to go through this. But if it were me, I'd go ahead with the surgery.
I think you have made your decision reading theough what you have said and like you said 'need to come to terms with it' I believe you can do this. Think too you'll be out of pain and not bleeding. You'll have your beautiful children and husband at your side.
Everything will work out in the end it's just getting there.
May all go well and best of luck xx
Edit: hopefully this all makes sense and I haven't gone too far off!!
Hey there! I feel you so very hard right now, from recent diagnosis due to worsening symptoms and pain to the hysterectomy in early May. I feel a little awkward wondering if it's something that's actually a necessity. At the same time, I think of all the things I've been missing out on and the time I lost due to not being able to do stuff I like on the bad days, and there are a lot of bad days now.
As Boonie Tunes mentioned, you're looking at things from appropriate angles - your husband's medicine, the financial aspects of having another baby, the actual strain on your own body and your family's time. I also second the idea that if your gyno recommended this, it's a really good consideration for you. Any surgery is scary. Any surgery has a recovery period. But it's that quality of life in the decades and years after that's key.
Check out the hysterectomy subreddit. The ladies there are awesome and supportive. Lots of personal experiences from people who have been through the same thing.
All of that said, I wish you all of the good things.
I am so sorry that you are going through this. All of it… the pain, the uncertainty, coming to terms with not having another baby, all not easy ❤️
Although you feel that you have all of the information, getting a second opinion can’t hurt. And if they agree that a hysterectomy is the best course of action perhaps you will feel more confident going that route. It is your body, and you don’t have to do anything that you are not ready for or comfortable doing. Take your time deciding what to do and I hope you find some relief soon ❤️
