#uterine fibroid
Text
so TW for female reproductive medical trauma if youve also experienced it but if youre a cis man I truly dont want you to pass by without listening to this.
If I was bleeding constantly in any other way - almost every day, for 4 months, sometimes so heavily to where I was in the ER and needed a blood transfusion, I need iron, etc - even with medication that barely reduces it, stops it for four days days maybe... if I was bleeding from my nose, or my gut, or internally, or anally, or in any other way like this, I think I would have gotten surgery right away. I think I wouldnt have even waited as long in the ER waiting room.
Just because menstruation is normal doesn't mean that a uterine fibroid causing bleeding that is NOT menstruation is normal or ok. This is not ok. I am not ok. And women who work in gynecology KNOW it is not ok and have said so and are angry and fighting for me. And all of them have a cis man as head of the department and are understaffed and exhausted and backed up with not even a first clinic visit opening for MONTHS, and are not being taken seriously in the OR.
THIS. IS. NOT. OK.
This is institutionalized sexism that puts our bodies and mental health and finances in danger. It's not ok. It needs to change, like so many things need to change.
And this is also why I am pro-choice, not to derail onto a controversial separate issue but when you stigmitize and illegalize abortion "exceptions for the life of the mother" is going to result in dead pregnant people, period the end. Because doctors will fail them. They won't take it seriously. And this HAS happened, such as to an Irish woman named Savita Hallappanavar.
I am sure there are even more examples besides fibroids and pregnancy, I wouldnt be surprised if uterine cancer patients have these issues and IUDs and god knows what else, and Ive already heard horror stories.
Im so tired, and so depressed, and overwhelmed, and Im angry.

Just got my pre-hysterectomy bloodwork back!
Tests are expensive, of course, so I haven’t had a full rundown since June 2019, just the hemoglobin (hgc) to check how my chronic bleeding due to uterine fibroids was going.
When I was saying I was at like a third of the amount of blood I should have?
Ouch, was I dangerously close…
Obviously, I don’t know much about some of these, but RBC and WBC are easy enough to recognize as “Red Blood Cell” and “White Blood Cell,” and those look scary.
And the Platelets being just about the only thing that had been in a normal range - all my body could successfully try do was try to stop the hemorrhaging.
Which explains the almost palm sized blood clots I was passing at points.
Still hilarious that the 5.5 hgb test result was just two weeks after I’d spent an entire day walking at the State Farm, taking quick breaks after confronting the constant low hills of the grounds.
Considering 5.1 was when my vision was blacking out trying to walk down a hallway…

For The Boston Globe, I drew this “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” parody. Only for perimenopause, that period (so to speak) of unanswerable questions (except by God).

Ever feel super stupid about…
Ok, bad opening.
I spent ages trying to quantify how “bad” a level of Hemoglobin is.
There’s info about healthy Hemoglobin:
Non Menstrating Adult: about 14 - 17 g/dL
Menstruating Adult: about 12 - 15 g/dL
For… reasons (uterine fibroid) … I was … chronically anemic.
And trying to, as said, quantify the level I’d reached by the time my family dragged my in-denial butt into the Emergency Room.
My anemia was directly caused by long-term blood loss.
Finally figured out today, “Hey, check how much blood volume loss will kill you!”
Answer:
<14% - no major symptoms, some light headedness
15%-30% - nausea, increased heart and respiratory rates
30%-40% - “traumatic reactions,” passing out
>40% - organ damage, coma
So…..
Of your chronic anemia is caused by chronic blood loss…
I’m starting to realize I wasn’t giving my poor doctors enough credit when my Hemoglobin levels were…
5.1 g/dL
(that is, 60% lower than a healthy menstruating adult….)

I created this Womb Healing Masterpost a year or so ago. Since then, I’ve continued to grow this list of resources, adding more info as I learn it. Every book, interview, podcast on the list I’ve read or listened to and found useful in my own healing. But I realize all this info can be overwhelming, confusing, and time consuming to get through to create the real change needed to balance your hormones. So, I’ve created cycle syncing wallpaper habit reminders to support women and menstruating individuals in balancing their hormones HERE.
How to use:
These are specifically created for the 80% of women experiencing hormonal imbalance. I’ve designed them to make integrating the information and ancestral wisdom needed to balance hormones easily accessible. Switch each wallpaper background as you transition through each phase of your cycle. Every time you glance at your phone you get a reminder of what to focus on at a specific point in your cycle.
Each wallpaper contains:
🌟 A hormonal phase specific grocery list informed by the Autoimmune protocol (AIP) which means it excludes largely known gut irritants like nuts, seeds, beans, eggs, nightshade vegetables etc.
🌟 A list of herbal teas specific to the needs of each hormonal phase
🌟 A list of self-care practices specific to each hormonal phase
🌟 A journaling prompt
🌟 An affirmation
🌟 Basic overview of the hormonal changes occurring within the body during each phase
🌟 A list of vitamins/minerals to focus on in each phase (grocery list includes foods that contain these vitamins/minerals!)
🌟 Best care practices and tips for each phase
I have a vision of these hanging as posters in schools to teach children about the changes in each cycle. I wanted to make balancing hormones so easy that teenage me could do it. The info on the habit reminders connects to the practices and teachings described in the original tumblr post so if you ever want to dive deeper into a segment of info you can. You can find more info on how to download HERE.
If we let it, womb healing can be a beautiful initiation into feminine power. Be gentle with yourself 💗

Periods should not regularly put you at an 8-8.5/10 on the pain scale right?
Just tagging for any answers from anyone because I want to rip my uterus out right now and if I wouldn't fucking die by doing it at home I would. I don't feel like I can eat or drink anything at the moment, not even water.
