I’m proud of my body and everything it’s endured, and everything it’s overcome. Not to mention how far it’s carried me, even in the hardest moments of my life. 🤍 This week was another step forward. We were able to keep things minimal with just one incision, and removing a small spot of endo on my diaphragm and near my left ovary(the ovary was just fine), and clearing fluid in that area. On top of that, my hysteroscopy with myomectomy and D&C cleared out thickened endometrial tissue and a 1.2 cm fibroid, which was sent off for pathology for peace of mind.

Now, we rest. We heal. And we hold onto hope as we look toward starting IVF in the next 6–8 weeks. One step closer. Always. #endometriosis #ivf #adenomyosis #infertility

5/1 Edited to

... Read moreHealing from endometriosis surgery can feel like a winding path filled with ups and downs. From my experience, the key has been embracing the non-linear nature of recovery while maintaining hope and patience. The single incision approach not only minimizes scarring but hastens physical recovery, allowing focus on emotional wellbeing. Removing endometriosis spots near critical organs like the diaphragm and ovary requires trust in your medical team and resilience as your body adjusts. Clearing thickened endometrial tissue and fibroids during hysteroscopy with myomectomy helped me feel proactive toward improving my reproductive health. Sending tissue for pathology provided much-needed peace of mind, reminding me that every step is about regaining control and preparing for the next phase. As the body heals and fluid clears from affected areas, rest is essential but often difficult. I found mindfulness practices and gentle movement aided in managing discomfort and anxiety. Looking toward IVF, scheduled 6 to 8 weeks post-surgery, brought a sense of direction and hope, even on tougher days. Sharing these experiences under hashtags like #endometriosis, #ivf, #adenomyosis, and #infertility connects us with a community who understands these challenges. Remember, each step forward—no matter how small—is progress. Healing isn't always linear, but with hope and support, it becomes a journey worth taking.

A handwritten workout plan titled 'AMRAP' in a notebook, detailing warm-up exercises, leg exercises (RDL, goblet squat, alt lunges, pulse squat), arm exercises (bent over row, T raise, front raise, arnold press), and full body exercises (devil press, plank, renegade rows, squat to press), with 40 seconds on and 20 seconds off timings.
A handwritten workout plan on white paper, outlining warm-up exercises, leg exercises (goblet squat, single leg RDL, alt jump lunges), arm exercises (bicep curl, alt snatches, alt tri kickbacks, devil press), and abs exercises (flutters, deadbug, boat hold, crunches), with 40/20 timings and 3 sets.

So these pictures were taken a little over a year apart and I am just so proud of how far I have came in the last year! The first photos were taken when I weighed a little over 170lbs and this morning I weighed 159lbs. I love myself in both, but don’t get me wrong I love being a little more lean!
