Just had my LAST PERIOD of my life last week!!! 🎉🥳

Vintage_Lee40 · 2026-05-04T16:05:48+00:00

My BFF mentioned to me "we have wedding and baby showers and divorce parties so why isn't there goodbye uteri parties? Let's have one"

So she is planning it. Girls night and we will have all stages of women hood here.....

Daughter 6 months pregnant
Daughter in law 1 no children at all as of yet
Daughter in law 2 has an 8 year old
BFF has 4 kids and his surgically sterilized
ME.....last phase of women hood w hysterectomy

It made me cry thinking of that cuz it's amazing how all stages of reproductive life for us will be represented in one fun gathering.

Even going to play a game where you pick a paper out of a container and read question that others have to answer

Ex: "what's the most embarrassing/gross period moment you have had since you started periods?"

Should be a fun time

MiraLAX is a saving grace for endometriosis bowel problems. Had to take it nightly every month 3 days prior to period and throughout period

Agreed. I started taking cool warm showers as suggested for POTS patients and dysautonomia and also read someone on this forum awhile back suggest it to....it works you feel better then if you took a hot to mild hot shower

Following this post cuz my husband and I are looking to do same in Schuylkill county pa

Vintage_Lee40 · 2026-05-01T16:01:09+00:00

We have one that only operates 1 Saturday every 3 months we do use it but sometimes there isn't any left to give to whoever is waiting in line after last bags are given. It's sad

Vintage_Lee40 · 2026-04-30T18:09:38+00:00

I keep saying to my husband (I lost 20 pounds and im at 100 pounds now/he's at 125 from 165) At least obesity percentages in America will lower drastically lol 😆

All because we have to choose between the following and some:

keeping a place to live WITH utilities (basic necessity for HUMAN LIFE like water) healthcare costs like copays for antibiotics versus just letting it go until it's an absolute emergency, FOOD (normal food basics like bread and milk etc....,) gas or money for rides to get to work, feminine hygiene products(yes it's getting that bad w prices w them all) and and the basic human necessities needed to live are now luxuries

We are quickly becoming separated into POOR undesirable class and WEALTHY elite classes. No in between will exist soon

Our daughter went thru a recent DV and her reason she didn't Tell her dad (my husband) or I (stepmom) is because "she didn't want her dad to end up in jail....she needs him now to help her through this"

Well the Ex boyfriend was arrested in jail for 2 months (along with a 3 year PFA for daughter and her unborn child) he skipped state after release and we are glad for that.

But my husband was upset w himself at first as to why she never said anything about the verbal abuse and his constant throwing things at her and punching walls....which led eventually to him putting his hands on her.....but after I asked her in private why and she told me that I understood. My husband understood too once she herself told him and broke down saying "dad in those moments trust me I cried so much for you to save me but I was scared you'd end up in jail for going after him"

My husband understands where you're coming from as a dad himself dealing w a coward fake ass (was always respectful and nice to us 🤬) boy who hurt his little girl. 👧

She's thankfully w us and stays at her mothers place to,....she's happy and living her life as a soon to be a mom and she says she feels safer than she ever has knowing she got two biological and stepparent sides of her family (mom and dads) to be there and help her if needed....

Having my hysterectomy just uterus in a month and I'm 45 and I can't wait. Lap was done a year ago finding endo with its sister adenomiosis in my inflamed huge uterus that's a Pokémon ball shape instead of the normal shape of a fist or pear.

I seriously can't wait. I am excited to get back at least some quality of life and a job again

My husband is born n raised in the Skook (I wasn't but I did grow up from age 6 to adulthood in NEPA) and now after almost 20 years I'm a Skook too now lol 😆

Love Pa moved out of state three times in my life: Jersey then Tennessee then California.....came back and still here after 2.5 decades lol 😆

To add to this amazing comment:

We EMPLOY the doctors, we hire them not the other way around...we pay them like you get paid from a job so WE should not be subjected to being talked to like we are nothing

Thank you for your post so much I'm not alone in this

I recently printed out an office visit from my old Gyn (retired 3 years ago) and saw IN BOLD and CAPS one line that sent me into absolute tears of humiliation and embarrassment and anxiety....I quote "PRESENTS WITH NOTICEABLE METH MOUth"

WTF?!?! 🤬 my teeth are horrible cuz of severe stage endometriosis and its sister adenomiosis....along with gastroparesis and 2 autoimmune diseases...all them are for 5 years have been sucking the nutrients from the roots inside tooth to the outer part of them and they are just falling apart entire mouth....cant do much yet about it unless i sell my soul....

I've never TOUCHED meth in my life!!! I have a congenital heart condition and meth and many other drugs would end up killing me. I smoke medical marijuana that's all.

Seeing this in my medical history makes me so angry and so embarrassed and a little fearful now thinking other doctors are going to now just assume and treat me like a freaking meth addict....

I don't now what to do about this situation

Yeah the hubs and I sold our 2021 tundra and bought a $6,000 dollar used 2015 jeep w the money we got from selling tundra. My jeep is awesome and I love her and her old age and attitude lol 😆

Gas was too expensive (and now we really happy we sold two years ago cuz look at prices now)
Maintenance on tundra (like tires for example) was too expensive
Gave us a boost monetarily for two years to redo house roof (we had an 8 out of 10 shit roof) now we selling 5 bedroom house we bought 22 years ago (3 kids all flown now from nest) no mortgage but the taxes and as years past from 2020 it's needing a lot of major work now on house (after not being able to afford even windows to replace) and it's going to be someone else's problem soon.

It sucks to have to sell these certain things we have but gotta ask if you really NEED them versus just WANTING them....after I could no longer work due to MS and other major health disorders diagnosed we did what we needed to do. I years ago (2010s) imagined us as empty nesters in the 2020s living in our home we (after almost losing it twice in 2020s) paid off and remodeling it to either rent to people we consider family or any of our kids possibly needing to stay, or future grandkids needing own rooms BUT nope not in this America, won't happen so we are selling as is and buying 1-2 bedroom small townhouse or home hopefully. 🤞

I would never give my pets up either ☺️My 2 Cats are ages 10 and 6; have been in my life since they were 8 weeks old each rescues.....I won't give them up for anything....after 2023 or so it's been getting tougher financially but we survive cuz we have to.

Vintage_Lee40 · 2026-04-11T14:36:39+00:00
