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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

Whatever this means for you, OP, your doctor's manner of delivering the news was appallingly insensitive. I hope you have supportive people around who can help you process this. I'm sure people will say you have options, you could adopt, or or meet someone with kids, or even that you might prefer to not have kids. All of that is valid, but doesn't matter right now. What matters is how you feel right now and what you need to deal with the situation. Look after yourself and don't let anyone convince you this is the end of the world.

I am also 22 and am unable to have children..this may be a tough time for you, and though we all experience things differently, I can understand what you might be feeling. Just remember that adoption is still an option and is a very beautiful thing :)

My aunt was born with a condition that required removal of her uterus when she hit puberty. She adopted two and they are family, she IS their mom, I think they were both only a few days to weeks when she got them. If you want kids there will always be kids that need a mom as sad as it is, though your doctor still needs a good boot to the balls for sheer tactlessness......

I'm sorry honey

Try to get a second opinion. If that is still the outcome, there are many ways of achieving parenthood. Best of luck, OP.

Consider adoption. There are so many kids out there already in existence who have just been abandoned and have nobody to love them.

In ivf, my friend. I know a girl who had one at that same age and it sure is rough. Sorry to read this, OP. Best of luck.

That happens when you do kinky rough stuff, you must be one of those NASTY girls I'm just kidding I have no idea that that is. You can alway adopt a kid. You can have my little cousin he NUTZ

A hysterectomy is the removal of a woman's uterus and oftentimes vulva. Some women even have to have their ovaries removed, effectively placing them in menopause at an early age unless they are placed on intense hormone therapy. The recovery can be fast or take months.

I hope you got a second opinion. many make doctors have women get hysterectomies and it is unneccessary. I was told 6 years ago that I needed one... I have a 9 month old.. the old fashion way.
