Hey ladies! I’m new here, but I just had to jump into this conversation. I’m from Canada, and I was actually diagnosed with this syndrome about 11 years ago (back when I was 16). After my period just stopped coming, I went to see a specialist who did a laparoscopy and found out I was born without a vagina and my uterus is really small and underdeveloped—though my ovaries work just fine. He told me that whenever I felt ready to be intimate, I should look into neovaginoplasty surgery to make things possible. So, that’s what I did. I had the procedure done in Vienna, wore a vaginal dilator for a year to make sure everything healed properly, and honestly, thank God, ten years later I haven't had any issues at all. I don't have periods, which on one hand isn't bad—no cramps, no mood swings, no bleeding 🙂. As for my situation, nobody knows about it except my mom, who gives me total support (even though it was harder for her to process than it was for me), and even my current boyfriend, since we've been together quite a while. I feel like I can't talk to anyone else about it, and now that I'm getting older, the reality that I won't be able to have biological children is hitting harder... plus, I'm really worried about how to bring this up to someone I might want to build a life with. If anyone is dealing with these same dilemmas or has advice on how to handle it, please help! 😢
I'm happy to answer any questions you have because, looking back, the surgery itself was such a huge success. Sending love to all you girls—just know you aren't alone!
