PREGNANCY AFTER HYSTERECTOMY
i had a partial hysterectomy 2 yrs ago.but 2 days ago i just found out i am 8 wks pregnant and i am trying find information somewhere to help me understand the whole situation. i heard of someone who had a partial hysterectomy and carried their baby to term. she had twins.CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!
I am sorry that you have suffered with endometriosis for so many years and not only did the hysterectomy not give you relief, it caused additional problems (which I understand as I also had one but not for endo). I am glad though that you have recently gotten some relief. I am sorry that you were not able to have children. That would be very difficult.
if you have had your uterus removed...You can't carry a baby...if you have your ovaries..you will continue to ovulate but the eggs are absorbed by the body. If you have everything removed you have been castrated and will go into instant menopause. If you kept your ovaries you will continue to "cycle" but will have no period (unless you kept your cervix you might have a light monthly period) Most women who keep their ovaries but have their uterus removed with begin the process of menopause 5 years sooner because of cutting blood supply. Lack of or too much of hormones can cause breast tenderness, abdominal bloating and so on...is it possible for sperm to potentially reach and fertilize and egg...slim to none, but it can happen...can the baby be carried to full term without a uterus...absolutely NOT. The uterine implants are many many years down the road.
To the gals coming in reading this LONG thread who have endometriosis ... do NOT let a Dr. talk you into a hysterectomy...because it will NOT cure endometriosis and will cause other issues. I was never able to conceive because of endometriosis and lack of getting into the hands of a qualified dr. and my endo even after having everything removed including the ovaries my endo continued to grow..and finally 20+ years and two endometriosis specialists I am too a pretty good place, but had I gotten into the hands of a true endometriosis specialist (there are just over 100 that are truly endometriosis specialists and they will do excision (cut out the disease) not put you on drugs to suppress or remove your female organs...If I had gotten into the hands of a trues specialist I would have most likely been able to have a baby...so if you have endo and have not yet gotten into the wrong hands please seek out a qualified endometriosis specialist as this is your best chance of eradicating the disease, having a baby because they will preserve your anatomy which will also prevent many other health issues that come with having a hysterectomy...I am sorry to those who want a baby and can't have one now...I get it because I did not even get one...but you will not be able to carry a baby in your body to full term without a uterus...so you can adopt or if you have your ovaries perhaps harvest your eggs and fertilize with SO's sperm and then place into a woman with a healthy uterus...

U can not say that u can't carry. U can: google it. Not every single way is 100% safe for both mom and baby. BUT there are cases where if u have ur cervix after a partial u can have a baby and carry close to full term eachboerson is different.!u can also carry a baby in ur liver l,, they move ur liver down a bit so it doesn't break ur ribs as ur expands. Liver stays the size of a football and the baby grows making the liver expand. It can attach to ur abdominal wallsZ if it is getting nutrients and has room to growth and for grown u can have a baby after a partial. But everyone is different!!!! Some can and some can't becausenof how healthy everything is inside....
I am not looking to get pregnant, just want to be 100% safe so I never have to experience any type of tubal pregnancy or anything like that.
I'm 43 y.o. & had a partial hysterectomy in Aug 2006, having my uterus & cervix removed. So since there is a slim chance of actually conceiving, which could be very bad for both mom & baby, is it a good idea to use birth control? Since the chances are so slim I always thought having the hysterectomy was birth control enough. I had mine due to endometriosis. My fiance' is very fertile due to having fathered 4 kids. But for me, my oldest is 25 & was a pill baby. My daughter is 13 & I took fertility meds to get pregnant w/her.
I am sorry you had a hysterectomy. You cannot carry a baby without your uterus. This should have been made clear to you by your doctor/surgeon before he/she removed your uterus.
