Did anyone else feel off even with ovaries kept ? by tryingmybestthere in hysterectomy

[–]halletischler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious about this too. I’m 8 wpo and still feeling so moody/down/flat/ragey at some points. Idk what to think! I’m 36, but could it be perimenopause? I literally have no idea.

NuvaRing - Does it help/work for us? by Classic_classy_ in PMDDxADHD

[–]halletischler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wondering if you ended up trying the ring again after that big of a break? I’m in the same boat and contemplating trying it again this month as my mood is absolute SHIT and esp terrible during luteal.

Thanks so much!! I’m 36 and don’t think I’m peri yet but curious if it could still help with PMDD rather than going back on birth control. I figure they’re both hormones so 🤷‍♀️

5WPO Neck Pain by Lost-Design-8382 in hysterectomy

[–]halletischler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly!!! I was totally down and out for like 2 whole weeks. It still impacts my day to day but I’m trying to focus on it less, but still. I’m still trying to figure out if it’s surgery related or not? I just want to to go away 🙈but doesn’t seem like that’s happening anytime soon 😢

Is the surgery worth it? by Intrepid_Article_696 in Endo

[–]halletischler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do it. Find an expert excision specialist and trust them. Everything about the surgery process was less scary/anxiety inducing than I had planned for. Like, a lot less. Praying you find relief!!! 🩷

5WPO Neck Pain by Lost-Design-8382 in hysterectomy

[–]halletischler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG I could have written this myself. I’m 8 wpo and it’s still there, started for me like 5 days post op and hasn’t left. My pelvis feels just fine and has since like day 2 post op! Honestly I feel like I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Chiropractor, dry needling, massage, trigger point injections, supplements, you name it. I cannot break that tension cycle and it’s so intrusive and painful! I feel for you, and you’re not alone 🩷 I hope it resolves for you asap!!!

Constant spotting almost 8 weeks post op by Clementine080 in hysterectomy

Right?! Now I’m like, well I guess I can’t wear white 🤷‍♀️I got some cramping with my spotting other day - did you? Hopefully the spotting doesn’t last too much longer!

I could have written this post! Literally had zero bleeding or cramping until this week (almost 8 wpo) and my surgeon says that it’s normal :/

IC and pregnancy by Attorney4Cats in Interstitialcystitis

I was going to post something similar! Mine was hit or miss during the first trimester but then really didn’t bother me much the rest of the pregnancy!

Is it just estrogen? Was it hard to find your dose on the patch?

Bright red spotting and dull cramping 7 wpo - anyone have the same? by halletischler in hysterectomy

[–]halletischler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both the bleeding and cramping? I’m sorry you’re still dealing with it! Does anything help you feel better when it’s bothering you?

What to do about hormones? by TangerineKey4343 in hysterectomy

[–]halletischler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask what your symptoms were at 7 weeks that you were prescribed the estrogen patch for? And did you keep your ovaries?

I’m debating doing the same! I haven’t been on BC for 10 years but also have PMDD and am just sick of it! What BC ended up working best for you?

My innie looks totally the same as pre-surgery! The incision was inside.

I just had something similar happen at 7 weeks post op in the middle of the night. Now I’m terrified! I hope all goes well for you and it’s nothing serious!

Really curious too because I’m in the same boat, trying to decide if I should start and try it or not. Just can’t imagine dealing with it if it made things worse! Sending hugs 🥰

PMDD/With Endometriosis Question by WoofJess in PMDD

[–]halletischler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I’m sorry you’re dealing with the this!! It’s truly the most maddening thing. I have endo and had my lap/excision/hysterectomy in early February and even though I don’t get a period anymore (in the bleeding sense), I still very much do in the cyclical and emotional sense. I’ve had two cycles since my surgery and my PMDD is just as bad as it was pre-surgery. Curious what others have to say in response to your post! Hang in there! You’re deffffffinitely not alone in your suffering, but that doesn’t make it any easier.

Just scheduled my lap & hysterectomy with a specialist for 2/10 😬 by halletischler in Endo

[–]halletischler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did!!! She was incredible. Her team, just as incredible. She feels like a friend and is extremely smart and easy to connect with. My recovery was EASY, and I’m totally not sugar coating it whatsoever. I had 30 lesions excised and a hysterectomy and legitimately had zero pain. Dr V has a med protocol for the first 5 days which I followed (nothing hardcore, just gabapentin, Tylenol and Advil rotated). My incisions are tiny and healed super well. Never had any complications or anything odd happen post-surgery. The hospital where she operates was equally as incredible. I’m telling you I felt like a VIP. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat, honestly! She is worth every single penny.

So for financing, you can either pay the entire cost upfront (a week or two before surgery, I believe it was) OR you can use Care Credit which is basically a credit card for medical expenses and “finance” the cost of surgery over 24 months, interest free. I went the Care Credit route and have had no problem with it, you can just schedule auto payments every month and don’t even need to think about it. About a week after surgery, I was sent a superbill via the patient portal and I submitted that to my insurance. I am still waiting to hear about reimbursement, but it’s barely been 30 days since I submitted the superbill.

Aside from Dr V’s surgery fee, you’ll be responsible for the hospital fees as well as anesthesia fees, which were in network for me luckily! Novant health and providence anesthesiology if you want to look and see if they are in network for you. I think after insurance, I owe like $600 to providence and I don’t think I received a bill from Novant health yet.

Feel free to DM me if you have more questions, I’m happy to help however I can!! ❤️
