I did it!

r/

I’m done with hormonal birth control. I’m 4 days post-op from having my tubes removed. I managed to wrap in having my left ovary removed too, since I have PCOS and it’s always painful from cysts. My gyn surgeon was/is amazing and called me herself the next day to check on me. I apparently also had mild endometriosis and she resolved that while she was in there.

My biopsy came back and apparently PCOS can also cause cysts on your fallopian tubes, which I had. And my left ovary was full of cysts.

Just a reminder to take care of yourselves! I’m decently painful still, but only on ibuprofen and tylenol. Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself.
