I'm 19 and going through the same thing , but for me I know I have to
have a hysterectomy but they told me to have kids now. I am in no
position to have kids now and the more I think about it adoption is
always a possibility it always helps to keep that in mind even when all
this is going on and it is so hard. I'm a mess right now but I have my
mom and boyfriend there to remind me there are always other ways to have
kids.
