UPDATE: It’s been 5 weeks since my hysterectomy and I’m feeling absolutely fantastic! I hardly experience any discomfort – just a little achiness from time to time, but it’s totally manageable. That heavy, bloated sensation that used to bother me? Poof! It’s vanished! And guess what? No more bleeding either! It feels like I’m embarking on a fresh start and learning how to navigate life in a whole new way.
As I progress in my recovery, the next stage involves discontinuing all pain medication. Over the past three years, I have been intermittently taking endone due to undergoing three surgeries during that time. Consequently, my body has become reliant on endone, which is an odd situation for me to navigate since I associate it with alleviating pain. However, now that I am no longer experiencing pain, taking it for other reasons feels strange. Thankfully, I am gradually reducing my dosage under the guidance of my doctor.
I’m so excited that everything is finally coming to an end! It’s such a relief to go from feeling down and defeated to looking forward to what’s next.

No, I’m not pregnant. I can understand why you would think that by just looking at this though.
Unfortunately I’ve had another hemorrhagic cyst rupture, just another day in the life living with PCOS.
The pain that comes with a cyst rupture is horrendous.
What follows afterwards is just as bad…
When the cyst ruptured it released blood and fluid into my lower belly and pelvis. My body will eventually absorb everything, hopefully in the next week. I can manage this pain at home with strong pain medication, heat packs & rest. Because this happens so unexpectedly it can be so frightening if you haven’t experienced this before – I know cyst ruptures are common, but that doesn’t make it any easier when it does occur. In some cases, surgery is needed when this happens.
I absolutely hate my reproductive organs. With only 1 ovary left, I just want it out. That’ll never happen, but I can dream.
I hate this so much. I hate my body for doing this to me. I hate how this makes me feel mentally. I hate everything about PCOS & endometriosis!
Please don’t tell me how you “cured” yours by doing yoga, or how you can cure this naturally. It’s all BS in my eyes & I don’t care. At this point in my life, after everything I’ve been through I’m not open to the idea of doing yoga, drinking some natural tea and getting a massage will magically CURE me. Stop saying something has CURED YOU. THERE IS NO CURE FOR ENDOMETRIOSIS OR PCOS! There may be natural ways to help with your symptoms, but it hasn’t cured you. I literally had someone message me yesterday telling me that pregnancy cures endometriosis & PCOS….. LOL OK.
Sorry if this sounds blunt. I’m exhausted, I’m over this. I don’t want to be a girl anymore lol I know so many other people are going through this, and please know I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND YOU! I feel for you! I am here for you! 🫶🏼

My face at the end 😅🫶🏼 #earlybirdgetstheworm
So many “insta influencer worthy photo opportunities” here and this is what I got. (And when I say “this is what I got” I mean this is what Mick took”😂 but I still love it. 🩵☀️ #photooftheday #poolside #drinkinhand #holidays
I’m always talking about endometriosis & PCOS. I love being open and honest about my experiences, but my favourite thing is to share things I do for myself that help make my life with endometriosis/PCOS a little easier! (If that’s even possible) 😅
LIBRA PERIOD UNDIES! Get yourself a pair of these immediately. I’ve spoken about these for SO LOOOONG now. I wear these nearly every day at the moment (due to having a cyst rupture) I’m too sore to wear tampons, & sick to death of changing a pad every hour.
Best investment you’ll ever make for yourself! 💛
