Tiffany Haddish Opens Up About 8 Miscarriages From Endometriosis In New Memoir

Before the launch of her new memoir, Tiffany Haddish revealed she had eight miscarriages from endometriosis and her struggles with the condition. 

According to Mayo Clinic, endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterus lining grows outside the uterus. Endometriosis affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes and pelvis lining. Those with the condition can suffer severe uterus and pelvic pain during menstruation and difficulty getting pregnant. 

Haddish notes that she had suffered from the condition for years. “I’m pretty sure the devil is real because the first day of my period, no matter what, the devil goes into overdrive,” she told People. “I feel like my life gets turned upside down. I’m like, ‘Am I dying?'”

Haddish’s upcoming memoir I Curse You With Joy, set to be released May 7, goes further in depth about her experiences. 

“It’s so f—— devasting,” Haddish said. “Every time I find out I’m pregnant, I’m like, ‘Don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t do nothin’. Even if I don’t really want [the baby], I still try to give it a chance.”

Haddish has started hormone treatments to help her endometriosis. She stated the medication has helped alleviate some of the pain from her condition. 

In November 2023, Haddish was arrested on a second DUI charge, her first in January 2022.
