dVH/RALH: Depressed.....

I think it really just hit me.....I have been so looking forward to hearing that I can finally get this done. I am all of a sudden feeling super sad. I have been blessed to be able to have 2 children. I just feel like the most important part of being a women will now be gone. Two weeks and counting and I feel so blue...any suggestions??

I'm having the same feelings. Though I've never been pregnant (adopted). I don't want more kids, but feel like this cements that door shut. I've been a bit emotional for a week or so. Hang in there.

When's your pre-op? I'm having mine Friday, as I'll be out of town next week.

Hey sweetie, my pre-op is the 18th. I don't have any children with my current husband. I think I feel like i failed him. He is happy since I have my two and he has one. I really feel sad. At least I know I'm not alone....

My baby is 8 and I had my tubes tied right after he was born. I too, looked foward to this surgery until it was scheduled, then the rollercoaster started. I still find myself cooing over other babies, but I have to say my womanhood is still fully entact. I so hope that you will be able to feel the same post-op. My uterus was causing so much pain and discomfort in my life, now that I am psot-op, I am definitly thankful to have evicted her

You are never alone on this site.

I've never had any children, always knew since I was young I wouldn't. Had an ablation several years ago in my early 20s to stop the every day bleeding I've had. Now that I've been diagnosed with endometriosis I'm bleeding every single day and heavily at that. So I feel too that this is the sealing that door shut forever. A part of me is sad because I feel like this is taking away my womanhood, that I'm no longer a woman or even a pretty woman at that. More scars to be added to my body now from the surgery to the already growing number down there. So yeah I'm depressed to. I just don't feel pretty or like I am who I was anymore.

I never thought of it being an eviction lol!!!
I am with you Firephoenix.....my stomach will never be a sexy part of my body. I sad and can't really control how I feel. I am really trying to stay positive but it is all just a little bittersweet.

I have one son by a "sperm donor" and my dh and I tried for 6 years to have one together, but never hit that bullseye. I have been dealing with fibroids for maybe 10 years.
Last year my symptoms got worse, then this year again worse. I'm 44 and told dh I'm done, it's all coming out. Biggest fibroid is compressing my bladder.
Doc said today he doesn't know how I've gone this long.
It wasn't an easy decision. But, the uterus does not make us women. It is our compassion, our curves, our minds that make us beautiful women.
I'm more depressed that I have dealt with this for too long. Happy I'm almost there.
Hang in there. And remember we are here for you.

I know that feeling.. I have one child (child? he's almost 22) and my husband and i got married 3 years ago and he has no kids... he knew that going in that my tubes were tied and I had other health issues and he says he never married a uterus, he married me... we have adopted a jack russell terrier and a bulldog.. talk about opposites!! We are more than our body parts.... good luck to everyone....

I keep calling my scars my tiger stripes. I've got them all over my body from various surgeries. But still, I told my boyfriend that the best thing he could do for me for valentines day, make me feel like I'm pretty again. Cause by then I should be healed up etc. That's all I want.

I get depressed, too. My daughter is 3 months old, and I am saddened to think that I'll never have another child. I am so very blessed to have her after all I've been through, yet I still get sad.
