Doper (Born) Women: Do You Still Have Your Uterus?

I’ll tell you why I’m asking in a bit.

Yep.

I’ll admit it, I’m a sucker for questions like these.

Pretty sure, I can feel it right now. I wasn’t born a Doper though :wink:

Now can you tell us why?

I’m trying to hold on to mine for as long as I can- I’m attached to it (har). But it’s trying to leave on it’s own.

I sure hope it’s still in there, or this whole trying to conceive thing is going to take a lot longer.

There are a lot of youngish Doper women - what demographic do you want responses from?

All ages, please.

Yes, I do. (I’m in my 20’s, if that helps you any)

I still have all my parts. I’m 42.

  1. Still possess uterus, lacking an ovary.

Had a full hysterectomy (tubes, ovaries and uterus) due to uterine cancer. Glad to be rid of it (and would have been happy to be rid of it at 20 but no one will remove a healthy uterus.) 53

I’m curious as to what ‘Doper (Born) Women’ means. I’m a Doper, which by default means I’m actually Born I guess. And given that the message was posted on the SDMB, only Dopers are going to reply. And being a Woman also means that at some point in my life I have had a uterus.

IOW, is there some secret meaning that I’m not getting? :smiley:

Oh, yes, full uterus and ovaries 52, post menopause.

I assumed she was referring to Dopers who were born as women, IOW not transgendered.

Ahhh, that makes sense!! Thankyew :slight_smile:

I was spayed at age 27 due to intractable pain and bleeding. I had already had a child. I retained my ovaries and went through menopause at the normal time. It was healthy, but folded in such a way that It needed to come out.

Full hysterectomy at age 39, I’m 51 now.

Yup. Want it? Never used, no plans to use it. But it’s 44 years old.

35, still got mine. Thus far it’s given me no reason to think of evicting it. I hope it never does.

TAH in January 2011. I’m 53.

50, had them removed with extreme prejudice and never been happier.

Yes, although not willingly. My periods are still heavy even after an ablation.
