A woman with two sets of reproductive organs has been forced to have a double hysterectomy at 28-years-old after her wombs were ravaged by endometriosis.
Megan Argyle was diagnosed at 14 with the rare condition known as uterus didelphys - which caused her to have two cervix's, two wombs with an ovary in each and one vagina.
The mum-of-one - who miraculously fell pregnant in 2014 - was told there is a 90 per cent chance of miscarrying if she tried for children and was later diagnosed with endometriosis after suffering with excruciating pains in her lower abdomen.
Megan from Hull, Yorks, says she is happier without her reproductive organs as she can finally 'be a mum again'.
She said: "A double hysterectomy was the best decision I have ever made, I needed to get my quality of life back so I can be the best mum to my daughter Rubie, five.
"I feel incredibly lucky to have her after the doctors warned me at 21 that I must try for a baby before I'm 30 and the chance of miscarriage was very high.
"I was only 21 with my whole life ahead of me, I had never thought about children before, but it seemed like a now or never decision as the endometriosis was getting worse and can cause further fertility problems.
"I suffered one miscarriage before giving birth to my miracle baby Rubie at 23 but it has been so hard for me to enjoy activities with her because of my crippling endometriosis."
Despite four ablations - a surgically procedure that destroys the lining of the uterus and reduce menstrual flow whilst burning endometriosis away - it continued to grow back leaving Megan in constant pain.
She was desperate for a hysterectomy and requested one aged 26 years old, but medics were reluctant as they wanted to try contraceptive methods instead.
She tried all contraceptive pills and a coil for each cervix - one of which became embedded and was surgically removed.
She adds: "Nothing was helping, my heavy periods continued, and the pain never stopped.
"My quality of life was getting worse and worse; I've lost count of how many times I was signed off work.
"I would change up to three sanitary pads per hour and I was in constant agony to the point where I have to curl into a ball.
"I have also been known to sit on the floor in shops as I physically couldn't walk any more.
"I was put into an induced menopause, but I continued to bleed so the doctor agreed a hysterectomy is the best option for me."
Although Megan had both uterus's removed on October 9 - her ovaries were not removed so she can have children through the surrogacy in the future.
She adds: "When I was 14, I ripped the septum which is a dividing wall of tissue in the vagina when I was having sex with my then boyfriend.
"The blood was gushing out and I knew something wasn't right, I went to the hospital and they discovered I have two cervix's and two uterus's.
"I was having underage sex but in hindsight it was a good thing because I found out about my condition from a young age.
"It also explained my heavy periods that would last for two weeks and they got worse and worse.
"At 18, I was diagnosed with endometriosis on both sets of my reproductive organs and I also had cysts on my right ovary.
"I am now happier than ever, and I can't wait to be a mum again - I can't wait to go swimming with my daughter and pick her up when she falls without being in excruciating pain."
