Disclaimer* (I am not a doctor or I am not qualified in any medical field. I am just sharing my experience with miscarriage and how I avoided a hysterectomy). Always consult with your doctor or treating provider for health advice/care.

Being able to conceive is such a beautiful, desirous gift that most woman pray, dream or wish for. The reason I say most because I have met a few woman that told me in the past that they were not interesting in being able to give birth. Basically, they are not interesting in being a parent. However, it has always been my desire to have children and to be the best parent that God wants me to be to my children. So far this mommy is a work in progress with my two children a twenty three years old from a previous relationship and an eighteen month old. My 18 month old is my husband and I miracle child. It took my husband and I ten years after marriage before we were able to conceive our 1st biological child together our daughter. It all happened naturally without any fertility consultations or treatments.

During our first years of marriage we tried to conceive but to no avail. So we decided to keep our minds occupied with finishing our educational goals and let nature takes it course. Ten years later it happened! We started being persistent to conceive two months after our 10 years wedding anniversary, and it was also shortly after I miscarried a set of twin, and my husband and I also had loss both our mothers several months prior to my miscarriage. I was also diagnosed with multiple Fibroids and my doctor had recommended a full hysterectomy due to the Fibroids. I remember going through my stages of being happy about expecting our double blessings, to lying on the hospital bed having intense labor pains and my husband comforting me, then losing our babies, to crying myself to sleep at nights and to one of my follow up doctor appointment after miscarriage. It was at this appointment when my doctor stated "that it would be best to have a full hysterectomy because I would not be able to bare anymore children due to multiple fibroids and that could have been the reason for my miscarrying twins". That was not the news I needed to hear and so for a month I was in a state of depression. It caused a strain on my spouse and I relationship and I shut down from my family and friends. I was even angry at God for a while. I thought how could God have allowed this to happen. It took my husband and I, 10 years to have a child and not one but two children we were going to have. God why did you allow us to miscarry twins. I even blamed myself for the miscarriage and I kept thinking over and over what could I have done differently.

I thought maybe it was something I ate or my everyday activities of moving around caused the miscarriage. I eventually had to accept the facts that God nor I did anything wrong that caused my miscarriage. One or two out of every pregnancy end in miscarriage and it could happen for several reasons that may never be figured out. One important thing to know that miscarriages are never a woman's fault it happened. So for every woman that has had miscarriages or going through miscarriages while reading this post. I am sorry for your loss, it is not your fault, time heals and trust God. I cannot say I understand what you are going through because everyone miscarriage experience is different. I can say I know what miscarriage feels like and some woman may never have to deal with a miscarriage or any fertility issues. That is what makes us unique and different as woman. I am Georgia, I miscarried twins, I was depressed and was dealing with fertility issues due to multiple Fibroids. I used the words was dealing with fertility issues due to Fibroids because I am no longer dealing with Fibroid issues. I overcame my Fibroids issues when I heard I had to remove my uterus. I was already hurting emotionally and physically from my miscarriage, my mother and mother-in-law deaths and to hear another bad news that I had to remove my uterus. All those experiences were overwhelming but I held onto my faith in God although it wavered every now and then. I also knew hysterectomy was not option for me so immediately when my doctor had recommended it I dismissed the thought.

I thought to myself that there has got to be another option instead of hysterectomy so I turned to prayer and trusted God on his promise fill words to "Be fruitful and multiply". I also did a lot of research on Fibroids and decided that I need to naturally shrink my Fibroids since I was not going to have surgery. Some main things I found out are that "Uterine Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors of the uterus and they grow in different layers of the uterus and it can affect fertility". I had multiple fibroids so they were all over my uterus linings and some were blocking my cervix which caused my infertility for 10 years. There is so much I could write on with dealing with my past issues of Fibroids and what I did but that would be a blog post in itself. But here are a few things I did naturally to shrink my Fibroids and I was able to conceive my daughter after miscarriage and recommended hysterectomy.

Natural Tips to Shrink Fibroids

1). I Detox for a month. The first thing in the mornings before breakfast I would drink warm water with lemon.

2). I did not eat meat for 3 months and got my proteins from beans and quinoa. I gradually ate meat again but organic meats.

3). I stayed away from dairy and gluten free products. Some products I used that were dairy and gluten free are smart balance butter, blue diamond almond milk, and greek yogurts. I am sure there are a lot more dairy and gluten free products out there these were my favorites.

4). I did lots of juicing of my fruits and green vegetables daily. I mostly juice greens like kale, spinach, broccoli added with ginger or an apple just depends on the days.

5). I did daily Castor oil pack treatment on my lower abdomen for an hour that is a major help with shrinking fibroids and detoxing the body.

6). I avoided products with Soy or Soy Lecithin. This takes a lot of reading labels and spending time shopping.

I was recommended for hysterectomy surgery but I chose not to and went a natural way. I am happy I did because of that I am able to write this post and share pictures of my then pregnancy journey with my miracle child. Here are a few pictures of our answered prayer!
