Upcoming hysterectomy 9/1 - feeling emotional

My SAH is Sept. 1.
I am currently experiencing my last AF and for some reason I feel emotional about it. Like even though it has been the cause of great stress on my body it has been a part of me so long. It's weird lol
I also am sad today that my uterus will be gone soon...that housed my 6 babies.
I am in a lot of pain today, and bleeding quite heavily...stupid fibroids, but I still feel sad about losing it all.
It seems illogical...yet I can't help it

Also as a quick question...do your ovaries 'putter out' for a bit after the surgery? when do they come back? what to do if they do putter out?

Your feelings are quite natural, actually. In fact, from my point of view, your reaction is kinda realistic. You may be in mourning for your loss- a body that is "normal". Allow yourself to feel sad. It's the natural way to move through this time. Bless you!

thank you so much it;s so amazing to have such a great support community

I know how you feel. I haven't had AF for a year and a month but I recently literally cried because it hit me that I would never be able to have my own baby again. It has been and EXTREMELY emotional roller coaster over here. I laugh, I cry, I scream, I am quiet. I am only going to be 28 Sept. 26th and the fact that I am sick enough to have to have this major surgery has not been an easy ride. I have one little girl who is my WHOLE world and I have 4 angel babies but I almost feel like I am not done being a mom. Fiance told me last week that if I still felt like this in a year or two then we would look into adopting an older child of my choosing. That made me smile briefly.

I wish you a speedy recovery and hope all goes well. I too am glad to have found this site. It is so amazing the support that I have found here. Just overwhelming comfort knowing I am not and will never be alone in the emotions and thoughts I have been having and potentially will have after my surgery on Thursday. I'll say a quick prayer for you and your surgical team! Stay strong sister!
