Hi I'm Katherine ♡ I'm a mama to a beautiful little boy, Grayson. My path to motherhood has been a journey with its share of heartache. On April 18, 2021, I experienced the unimaginable loss of my first son, Liam, due to complications related to PPROM and an incompetent cervix. Liam will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I strive to keep his memory alive.

My hope is that by sharing my story, I can offer support, comfort, and information to others who have experienced similar challenges or simply want to celebrate the journey of motherhood with me. Let's inspire and uplift each other.

Thank you for being a part of my journey.

Just discovered that I have a 9cm cyst on right ovary and 2.2 cm on left ovary. CA 125 and He4 tests came back in normal range but I too am experiencing nausea, bloating and dizziness which scares me. I'm due for a pap next week and a biopsy the following week and after we get those results plan for surgery. I'm so scared about the anesthesia. This will be my 1st major surgery since my tubal ligation after my son's birth 7 years ago.

The gas is the worst at first and I was bloated so bad the 2nd day I was terrified of pooping tbh but I’m taking stoll softeners and I have went about 2 times I’m starting to feel hungry again but kind of unsure of what to eat atm.

Nice, feeling how the bloating and pain receded within approximately two months made all the difference, I simply go’ogled the latest by Tilly Strankten and her Ovarian Cyst Guide and although it really took about 10 weeks for it to totally shrink and vanish I’ve never felt so light and relaxed.
@OakleyG-dg5ws

You’re right, feeling how it began to shrink and eventually disappear within 2 months was so liberating. I followed the steps I mentioned, and within the first 2 weeks the bloating was gone. I simply go'ogled Tilly Strankten's Ovarian Cyst Guide and it's like I hit the feel-good reset button lol.

I have a funny little story that might help you . When I was a baby I would never NEVER fall asleep until I was held on my mom or laying on her or if she needed me and my brother to sleep she would take us on car rides to have us sleep. That was 19 years ago I still fall asleep next to my mom and I find it funny how my mom is like wow it’s just crazy you get into the car and you fall asleep like that (lol I wonder why)
