This is a deary diary blog, and more so for the females. I am not going to share on social media, but it is here for those who are now reading my blog, for those who are researching hormonal health (like I was), and for me to look back on too!!!
So, here’s the deal, I am in “pain” … in pain off and on throughout the month. Sometimes, it is month after month and sometimes, I skip a month or even a few. In which, I am thankful!
Let us begin with my ovulation pain, it is just annoying!!! It is more annoying than period pain. Like knock you off your feet, feeling three (3) months pregnant (bc of bloating) pain. My mood gets effected too, I mean do you blame me, I am in pain, up some pounds, bloated, crampy and just miserable.
Then there is my PMS pain and period pain, which has been an off and on thing since I was a teenager.
Not to mention, spotting (sorry for the tmi) but this happens anywhere from 1-3 days before my period. It happens more often than not, ever since I had a missed miscarriage.
So, what is going on? I just pray it is nothing serious!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You see, a few years back we were expecting our 4th little blessing from above. I ended up having a missed miscarriage in my 10th week of pregnancy. Then a few months later, we had a faint positive pregnancy test. So thinking we were pregnant again, I called and made a Doctor’s Appointment, but on the day of my Appointment, period came and was told I may be having an early miscarriage.
These types of things many women do not discuss. It is just difficult 😥 and difficult to wrap our minds around too!
I mean in my experiences as a female and as a mama, I had three (3) easy to conceive and healthy pregnancies, so what is going on?
Three (3) years later, I still have painful ovulations, not always, but more often than not and some periods/pms are quite the ordeal, but again this has always been more of a common thing for me.
So, I had my annual, and I talked it over with my OBGYN/Gyno. “again” and she decided to book an ultrasound to check things out, such as endometrial polyps, fibroids, cysts, endometriosis, etc. more so because of the spotting before my period.
Now, of course I would love if all of this was not my current situation and that we were blessed with expecting another blessing from above. My husband says, having babies, although a blessing has effected my health. However, I just always felt we would have another, but first and foremost this mama wants to be healthy. So, praying 🙏🏼 that all is OKAY and that I am healthy!
God has blessed me/us with three (3) beautiful baby girls 💗💗💗 and if the door is officially closed to having any more babies, then I am at peace with that too, but again just praying that I am okay! 🙏🏼
So, I have a Doctor’s Appointment tomorrow morning and I am totally nervous, but God has given me the peace that all is okay, over and over again. So very thankful for that, but I have always been a worrier (it’s my thorn in my side) so I am blogging now to remember this, and I am going to continue to pray … 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
… so here we are, I am here at my Doctor’s Appointment. Just had the ultrasound and now waiting for the Doctor to call me back. Praying that the images the ultrasound tech. took, were just that “images.” I personally felt that it took forever to get them too, after all I do have a tilted uterus. I write this because us ladies are all built differently and many of us don’t realize things like a “tilted uterus.”
It’s weird because as I sit here, part of me wants answers, but praying Father God that I am okay first and foremost! 🙏🏼
Okay, just left the Doctor’s Office … Praise God!!! All is okay, I am completely healthy and well!!! 🥰🙏🏼🥰
She said, all is fine, healthy and looks beautiful!!! I asked her, why then to the things mentioned above … she said, your body had three (3) babies, you breastfed all three (3) too and things just change. Periods change, and many women feel ovulation pain after having babies.
Now, I’ve always felt ovulation, but now I get actual cramps and pain for sometimes up to five (5) days. So, moving forward … I am now eating more of an anti-inflammatory diet, drinking MORE water, eating plant foods, protein, avocado, etc. More exercise, and taking ibprophen along with using a heating pad when feeling the pains.
Let me say though that … my lanta, I feel sooo relieved!!! Thank you Jesus 🙏🏼 and on another positive note. They were shocked that I am 39 years old!!! “You don’t look 39 years old!” 💗 The doctor said, “all is healthy and looks beautiful, and you’re always beautiful. Tell the hubby, have another, we can control this one a little better this time and no crazy birth stories. If no, totally okay too because you have 3 and 3 is a good number!” 💗💗💗
So, to be continued and if you have questions like I did, go to the Doctor. 🙏🏼 I was nervous, but my husband said, “Go, at least you will have answers.”
