I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago at the age of 23. I had known for years I would have to get one and thought I was at terms with it. I had a ton of medical conditions that led to this. Now, 2 years later I am finding myself having days where I am upset. I had my "miracle baby" 4 years ago and am very content and happy with her. My husband is fairly supportive. I have days where I would love another baby, I had a horrible pregnancy and would love to try it again. Adoption isn't going to happen because of financial concerns. I am enjoying the benefits of 1 child...traveling and being able to do more things with her. But I still have my days where I am very down. I am on antidepressants to help with this. Any help for getting through those bad days?

I feel your pain. I had mine right after my 25th birthday, mine was a year ago. I had my kids which was great, then I wanted my tubes fixed...something happened so I had to have a hysto, so I still feel sad about it. You think about what if I wanted more...but you can't. I felt incomplete. Every time I see someone pregnant I feel sad or anytime I see or hold a new baby all those feelings come back. I don't know if it will ever get better. I wish there was something that I could tell you that would make it all better, but I can't. I think we need to focus on the bright side that at least you have your one child, vs none at all. I guess we sould look at how blessed we really are. Good luck & take care.

This is horrible but its time accept whats happened and make the best of it. Some of us are dealt out the worst possible hand but we must make of it what we can. Try taking a good look around there is always someone worse off than you. Go to a chemo ward of the hospital and see the children who will never get to grow old this will give you a change of perceptive. Focus only on the positive, at times you have to really try hard but it's worth it

Are you taking hormone supplements, because it sounds like your hormones are imbalanced, i haven't had a hysterectomy but i am going through menopause and i'm experiencing some of the same things you are. Do you have hot flashes , night sweats, anxiety, any of these symptons are usually from a homonal imbalance. If you have any of these symptons maybe you should talk to your obgyn and explain your concerns. Good luck!

there are hysterectomy nowadays that still leaves the ovaries in but in your case it seem they are gone. I say this because the ovaries produce hormones that will keep u happy . some refer to it as the "happy hormones". without those hormones, you will feel depressed so some people with the option of keeping their ovaries do. So this means that you will definately need help to rplace your hormones to fight the depression. There are good herbal alternatives that can help you. please check your health store. There is also a product called female balance that is vey good in balancing back your hormonal levels. and a lot other benefits. check the website

You have never morned your loss. My sister never had a child and was in her 30's after years of severe pain from endometriosis and she still has feelings of loss. Financial reasons won't prevent adoption of a foster child. They are in desperate need of a good home. Yes, we should be thankful for what we have but it isn't a sin to want more. Your pain is real and I am truly sorry for your loss. A grief counselor might be able to help you. God bless and keep you.

i know what ur talking about although i'v never had one i can sympathize. i know a few women who have had one and ur NOT losing ur mind! believe me, u have got to stay strong for ur child & urself. my sister went thru this, it was very difficult for her and still is but i think her mood swings had a lot to do with the hormones she was on. it's hard to find the right one but she says continue trying. i know it's fustrating because u have to wait until they work or not. anxiety also sucks and comes along with a hysterectomy but ativan helps. just becareful it's addicting. good luck to u.

Start writing a journal. It will help you channel some of your emotions. Be consistent everyday with writing your thoughts in your journal. Get to root of why you think your emotional.
