In most of the cases where the mom has a cryptic pregnancy case, she's always super critical of herself because she wasn't aware that she was pregnant, making her think she harmed her baby by not seeking prenatal care, even with the reassurances from her doctors that the baby arrived healthy and strong. Also, siblings with a four-month age difference are theoretically possible and are typically the result of superfetation complications, where the natural hormonal blocks that most hormone-based birth control mimics fail, resulting in the babies' parents conceiving a second child while they're still pregnant, and the mom manages to not give birth to the second baby at the same time as the first.
I am dealing with two primary pre-cancers. The cervix and the uterus. I was diagnosed with PCOS years ago when they knew nothing about it. I wish someone had told me what this video just did years ago!! I was scheduled for a hysterectomy and was about to go into surgery when they came in and said you’re pregnant! I’m 44 years old and married for over 20 years with no pregnancy😭 I started taking Chase berry thanks to videos by menopause Taylor and that regulated my hormones and gave me the progesterone I needed. Before I got pregnant the doctor said we’re going to have to do another DNC because you’re endometrial lining is thick but the progesterone a.k.a. chaste berry fixed that issue. Unfortunately I still lost the baby though and hopefully they’ll be able to tell me why very soon. I wish more doctors would tell patients the truth about PCOS instead of just saying take a birth control pill or we don’t know what causes it. It’s a sad day when the patients know more than the doctors they are seeing. My doctor knew nothing about Chaste berry or DIM. Thank you, doctor for this excellent video explaining the WHY of PCOS.
I have had pcos since i was 14, & id either have 3 periods in one month or nothing for months at a time. I got pregnant, unbeknownst to me, until one day i suddenly woke up with the worst 'period' known to mankind, and it was actually a 12 week miscarriage. The crazy part is that i did have symptoms. I had nausea and horrible acid reflux for weeks beforehand, but i have a hiatal hernia, peptic ulcer, and am diagnosed with GERD, so it wasnt the first time id have week long flare ups where i could eat close to nothing and id drop weight like it was a competition. My boobs were sore, but i always had sore boobs before a period, so i just assumed it was a phantom period because of the PCOS. Sometimes the symptoms are clear as day, but other life factors can really skew what you believe is the cause. Id like to believe id figure it out eventually if i went to term, but i am a very skinny person and theres a large chance my baby bump wouldve looked like nothing more than a little weight gain, not to mention those nausea symptoms are almost always exclusive to the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
from 11 to 32 this was me! masking pain and being able to carry on as normal because your base line pain is an easy 6/10 finally got diagnosed at 32 with endo been on birth control for over a year and still waiting to see an gynaecologist to discuss a hysterectomy 3 years on
When I was a teen mine were so bad I would almost pass out every month. Then I had my baby at 23 and the contractions just felt like my period cramps when I was a teen. 😢 it’s hard work being a woman
I will never forget reading about a FULL GROWN WOMAN who wrote nothing but synthetic fabric thongs for years, and didn't understand why she kept getting painful yeast infections and irritation! Like, she almost lost fertility!
Same, but I was 10 when they started. I was totally fine during labour because I was used to horrific pain by the time I gave birth at 24. Plus labour was significantly less painful than my periods.
The fact that this scenario happened to me almost identically is alarming. There are probably many of us who are told to suffer through the pain and then medicated at an early age with birth control. I even went to the same OBGYN as my mom who had a total hysterectomy at 32 because her endometriosis was so bad. You would think the doctor that performed that surgery would have considered the genetic component to endometriosis.
Birth control gave me a blood clot. Suuuuuuper helpful because I was taking it for insane bleeding and pain and now the bleeding is worse, the pain is horrific and I can't take NSAIDs, and I can't have surgery because of the clot. Definitely backfired. There should be more research in treating women with gyn issues who also have/had blood clots, ways to manage pain effectively for people on blood thinners, and ways to safely treat women with blood clots without making them practically bleed to de@th during their periods. It isn't ok to live like this
8 for me! Leaving foot prints, 12 women docs called me a liar, passing clots the size of baseballs, and one man doc FINALLY believing me and telling me i have PCOS. I love that doctor.
I got my first period at 9, regularly by 11, and I had to change pads basically every hour. My periods were so painful I couldn't go to school so at 15 they put me on birth control and they did get better but I still have a lot of pelvic pain and I've been to several doctors, like hey, I think I might have endometriosis but they keep saying, well the only way to diagnos that is to cut you open and look and we don't want to so I guess you'll never know until you can't get pregnant and someone will actually look then!
I started at 9 and it was horrible, I ended up with a hysterectomy at 30 because of all the issues and tumors. No one would listen to me about how painful and heavy it was from the beginning. They also never seem to care about the amount of clots and blood I was losing because I wasn't enemic. Also I always bleed during sex but doctors never could explain why. I will still wake up with the fear that I was bleeding all over. Never had a child because the idea of just getting pregnant to ease my symptoms!
I started birth control at fucking 10 years old because I got my period at the age of 9 and it was so bad I blacked out because I lost so much blood and my bloodwork was under the roof. But yeah.. "This is normal" and birth control is the answer. I hate this system.
Im currently fighting with the gynecologist on behalf of my 14 year old. Her periods are so bad she will sweat from pain. Her doctor said its normal and I snapped. Im in my mid30s and my periods have literally never caused me pain. Maybe mild discomfort and "icky" feeling. (Not sure how else to word that) But I dont believe the narrative that periods are by default painful and women just need to suck it up.
I've had horribly painful periods since the very first one. My first child was a c-section so I didn't experience labor. With my second, I went into labor at 34 weeks and was so used to the level of pain that I was walking around and didn't go to the hospital until I was 9cm dilated and still felt like I was going "just in case". So yeah, it's real and drs. suck when it comes to women's health.
I imagine the vast majority of women in this position had signs and saw signs abd were in denial. Absolute denial. Happened to my cousin. She felt movement in her belly and thought she had worms. Thats denial.
Had my TOT mesh inserted on July 1st. My incontinence stopped. I have some discomfort around the wounds, probably because they are healing. No pain at all. I walk a bit everyday and I am so happy I am dry! Hope it all ends up well.
I'm not trying to diminish the obvious hell she went through but this stuff happens on both sides of the isle and I feel the medical care cartel needs reformed because I went through ten years of back pain and saying I think something is wrong with my kidney to get laughed at and told I needed lose weight and stretch more. Eventually I started having more issues like throwing up and bow troubles and just excruciating pain. So I went to the ER and they thought I might need an appendectomy so they ran a ct scan and found three bulging disks a hernia oh and this is where it gets good a mass growing in my kidney the size of a walnut that probably had taken 5-10 years to develop to that size. Literally had to get to the point where I couldn't function in my day to day life before they would do a fucking CT with contrast. Biopsy came back with cancer. So to all thouse doctors that I was tired and in pain all those years because I was fat and lazy go fornicate with yourself.
OMG UNREAL. I had periods that were so bad I would roll around in my bed- almost screaming. Then, it was so bad in college I was going to throw myself down the stairs in my dorm. At least the pain would stop. Then, I went to the infirmary and they gave me....Alleve. Never worked. My grandfather was a physician and he gave me liquid morphine. Sounds nuts but the relief...I would weep with relief from the pain.
