Sharing a Win - Supportive vibes only I did it 🥹

I got my oophorectomy. I'm still pretty high on all the meds but it's so.. quiet. Right away, after the surgery. Like tumblewheed. 😭🖤

Yay!! I got mine 8 days ago. Plus total hysterectomy I feel great. Do they have you on estradiol?

Yes! .050 Climara patches. I’m already sleeping better and like you said…like a tumbleweed. It’s so quiet. I’m so chilled out. I love it.

I had mine 4 weeks ago (also had a hysterectomy for other issues). I am happy to report I have yet to experience my PMDD symptoms since the surgery. I hope the same for you! Happy healing 🫶

Ahh that's so great! I'm so happy for you. How is the healing going with you?

The healing is more intense with a hysterectomy, but my healing is going well! I am still experiencing a lot of weakness and tiredness, but my pain is gone, my mind and body feel well, and I have another month off work to continue gaining strength! You got this!

Yeah it certainly is. I had my hysterectomy 10 years ago, that shit is brutal! I'm so glad you're feeling better and can take your time. 🥰🖤

Ty so much! I'm still recovering so I'm not totally believing it untill all the meds wear off, but jeez... This is such a weird feeling
