Elective hysterectomy under 35

Has anybody been able to successfully get a hysterectomy under 35 without the known health complications to be eligible? I’m 23, my baby girl is 7 months, and as heart breaking as it is as I’ve always wanted 2 children- I don’t think I can continue with contraception options.

My mental health is quite rocky, so adding hormones into my body has made me spiral, most days I just feel numb and floating
Through life, no true happiness but i definitely feel sadness more days.

With both IUD’s & the bar, I’ve bled continuously, I’m now worried that I am anemic due to ghostly skin, fatigue 24/7 no matter how much sleep I get, no matter how easy I take it or how much I push myself to be active, I’ve also tried to combination pill and it’s made the bleeding significantly worse.

With both IUD’s, the period cramps were unbearable, borderline contraction pains. I had to get both removed within 2 weeks of getting them in as I was screaming in pain and had went to A&E on multiple occasions.

I also tried tranexamic acid to manage the bleeding on the coils with no avail, it was a consistent heavy period everyday.

I just think my body can’t handle it, and I could do the route of tracking ovulation and condoms but that’s how we got pregnant with my baby in the first place, so there’s no guarantee

Idk I’m just feeling defeated, I’m debating is it time to just forget the image of having 2 kids, because I’d rather be happy and healthy for my first than struggling on and hanging by a thread.

I have absolutely no experience, but want to say that imagine you are not alone.
Hormonal contraception has not been good for me after baby number 2, and I've ended up with the copper coil which has thankfully not been too bad at the minute. I have had a referral go in for me to be sterilised as we're definitely done having children.
I'm sorry you've been having such bad experiences

My friend got one after her c section, but it was her third child and her body just could not cope with another pregnancy. They were very hesitant to give it to her even then.

I haven’t been on any contraception for 9 years, and simply using natural cycles. I have only ever got pregnant when I wanted to. We tend to abstain during ‘red’ days rather than take any risks with the pull out etc. I am also allergic to latex so condoms are trickier.

Could you try to talk to your partner about getting a vasectomy? I would recommend anything else but a hysterectomy. Maybe tubal litigation (tubes tied) hysterectomy causes so many side effects and would send you into menopause at a very young age. Your body needs estrogen it is so important in bone, brain, and developmental health. If birth control gave you issues this will be far more challenging. I watched my mom go through it at 48 and it was horrible, it took her close to 15 years to try and regulate and she was taking estrogen supplements. I would really look into it and see if you would be willing to go through menopause this young and the long term health effects because I think it would be very damaging in comparison to other alternatives. I wish you the best and I hope you are healthy and can find a good solution to keeping your two babies I just fear for you a hysterectomy may not be in your best interest

I have asked one 2 years ago and been accepted straight away . Fortunatly or not find iut i was pregnant … we kept baby and asked to be sterilised while having a c section . Straight away the consultant agreed :) . I am 31 right now :)

Condom missing in boyfriends house since Thursday 🤣

I checked his condoms on Thursday and there was 11 (we don’t use them) and today I checked and there’s 10. We had a huge argument on Thursday and I left and then on Friday night I never seen him but I bumped into him at the shop and he said to come round to his house. But I never. And I never heard from him from about 10.30pm. He said he was asleep but he tried Comin to my house on Sat mornin but I wasn’t in. Fast forward to today there’s a condom missing. He has obviously had sex with someone over the past few days

Who is up I have a question

Who want to be my friend that doesn't mind me talking or texting them an we can be there for each thru the good an bad happy or sad long distance friends are welcome no judging over here

Is the App Worth It?🤔

All the connections Yet Not Connected. smh 😒 Adult new friendships seems to be for the birds. SMH. Just have to stumble upon them and cultivate them the natural way. Out in the wild (parks grocery stories or on cruises dropping kids off at kid camps for parent time 😆).

Giving baby’s vitamin D

Hi, I’m a FTM and I’ve just found out that babies are supposed to have vitamin D supplements. My baby is now 3 months old and I’ve never given them any before!

Do all mums give their babies vitamin D? If so, why is it important, how often should you give it, and what type/brand do you use?

Should I start giving it now even though my baby is already 3 months old, or is it too late?

I feel like there are so many things I’m finding out about baby care that nobody tells you about 😂

Texting buddies??

Does anyone wanna text that can actually hold a conversation? 😫 I’m 28, 3 kiddos and happily married. Just looking for someone to get to know, maybe it’ll bud into a friendship! I’m in Livingston, Tx but I don’t care about the distance because if we click well enough it could be a fun journey to meeting each other :) Age doesn’t matter either but I would like someone around my age or older lol. Message me on here!!

Tonies box opinion

Hi everyone, before I spend an arm and a leg on a tonies box and characters, what is everyone’s opinion on it. Is it worth its money? My little girl will be 2 at Christmas, she currently loves books and songs, so thought it might be a good present for her.

Also, if you believe is worth it, which characters are best in terms of what they do sing/read etc.

Thanks
