Today, I was told I'll need a hysterectomy. I'm barely 22. My doctor said "You probably wanted kids, huh? That's gonna be rough!" FML

Today, I found out that I need a hysterectomy. When I told my boyfriend of 2 years, he broke up with me, because he didn't have time to "coddle my feelings". FML
Today, I was told that I will never be able to have children. Thankfully for my husband, his girlfriend sure can. FML
Today, I told my dad that I'm pregnant. He shook his head and said, sadly, "What a waste. You're way too young to throw your life away like this." Silly me; I was worried that at 46 I might be too old for this. FML
Today, my doctor told me I had "abnormally large breasts." This wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't a 20 year old man. FML
Today, I was discussing with my husband about how it was time I stopped taking birth control so we could have a baby. He looked at me and said sincerely, "We're a little young to be having kids, don't you think?" He's 35 and I'm 32. FML
Today, after going through a surgery related to my ovaries, having a life-threatening complication during the surgery due to anesthesia, and my doctor warning me about future infertility, a friend told me that no one would marry me now, since I have stretch marks and stitches marks on my abdomen. FML
Today, I have always been adamant on not wanting children ever, then I did a stupid thing, and now I’m now single and pregnant with twins at 22 years-old. My life is so fucking over. FML
Today, I had to explain to my 23-year-old female friend that when I get my hysterectomy, I will still be able to poop. FML
Today, I told my mom I was thinking of having a baby. She told me it was a huge mistake because children cost a fortune, make you miserable, and if she'd had her chance again she would have gotten her tubes tied when she was 18 and saved herself the grief. Gee, thanks mom. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and confided in my mom, after being told I would have trouble having kids. Five minutes later, I hear the whole family laughing about it downstairs. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well there are two options: you may be able to harvest some eggs and save them for later for use in ivf, or you can adopt and give an existing kid a loving home. Either way, best of luck OP.

That sucks; I'd go get a second opinion if I were in your shoes.

How insensitive of him.

Get a second opinion. Even if you trust him, when it's something this serious, always get a second opinion. Whether you wanted children or not, the joke was very tasteless. Yes, cool, no more periods. But now you have to face all the emotional and hormonal imbalances that a hysterectomy causes. Not to mention the whole recovering from major invasive surgery. I'm genuinely sorry that you have to go through something so painful.

It depends on if you want kids or not. If you wanted kids of your own, I am sorry that you have to make this choice. On the other hand, if you didn't want kids then it's not so bad.

Get a second opinion. And then get a third. I was told at 28 that I had a precancerous condition and needed a hysterectomy. I thought about driving my car off a bridge on the way home. Chose to just ignore it instead. 10 years later at 38 I thought the cancer had finally showed up. It wasn't! I was pregnant. My daughter is 10 years old now. Please don't make decisions based on what one doctor tells you!

I'm happy for you and I know this will sound insensitive but you were going to kill yourself because of not being able to conceive children? What would've been wrong with adoption?
tomvertigo 17
Some people aren't capable of adoption. Some need that in-the-womb bonding. I hate to say it but it's true.

Still, having children shouldn't be so important in one's life to kill yourself over it.

God I'm so sorry OP. That's probably the worst thing a woman can hear (in my opinion). Try to harvest your eggs and freeze them to hopefully have kids in the future. Best of luck to you OP.

I suggest adjusting your opinion a bit.
amileah13 26
Not really sure what you mean. For lots of women who want children, I find that to be one of the hardest things to hear that you can't have them. And like I said, just my opinion.

check 2 or 3 doctors if the matter are serious as this. time to time doctor do give wrong opinion.
