After revealing she has been sober for six months, Tiffany Haddish opened up about her battle with endometriosis and that the disease has caused her to have eight miscarriages.
“My body be playing tricks on me,” she told PEOPLE.
“I’m pretty sure the devil is real,” says Haddish, “because the first day of my period, no matter what, the devil goes into overdrive. I feel like my life gets turned upside down.”
Tiffany described her pain to the outlet in detail. After she revealed she has had eight miscarriages, she shared that the last miscarriage was as recent as last year.
According to the World Health Organization, Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause severe pain in the pelvis and make it harder to get pregnant. Endometriosis can start at a person’s first menstrual period and last until menopause.
“Every time I find out I’m pregnant, I’m like, ‘Don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t do nothin’,” she said. “Even if I don’t really want [the baby], I still try to give it a chance.”
She added, “It’s like, I won’t know why there’s so much blood. And then I go to the doctor and they’re like, ‘Oh, you’re miscarrying right now. And I just D&C (dilation and curettage, a procedure to remove pregnancy tissue)”.
