that my personal story of fibroids and pregnancy loss inspires at least one woman, especially one who has experienced loss, in any form. As women, especially Black women, it’s time for us to stop suffering in silence. We can’t continue to feel ashamed when discussing miscarriage and pregnancy loss. It’s more common than most know.
It’s important that we continue to learn more about what causes fibroids, their associated symptoms and how they are treated. And, if you or someone you know has experienced fertility problems or pregnancy loss, understand that it’s no one’s fault and is sometimes inevitable. Set aside the time to heal and seek out professional help if necessary, as grieving is real and very normal.
