Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi all! MelissaK: I've been following your story last year and was rooting for you all along. Congrats on your pregnancy! That's just so wonderful and gives us all a lot of hope for next year, right galls? ;-)MsMonet: Gongrats on putting the pre-testing behind you! One more thing that's over with... Isn't that just terrible to have to wait two weeks for the discussion appt? I wish you all the patience you need ;-) Joker: I'm astonished to read that Aunt Flow is already back! I haven't had my period yet, although it's been 10 weeks since my last lupron shot and 7 weeks since the myo. Okay, I'm basically in no hurry, but still... that's the next step to get back to "normal", isn't it? Take care and keep in touch.

MOON, RU93,JOKER & MS POSITIVE-I forgot to mention something big... Not sure how I forgot to mention this... Unfortunately, I was told that my uterus is full. Fibroids and Endo. .. Ugghhh! Gotta wait 2 wks. I willl spend this time praying. Not sure if I should also try the Macrobiotic Diet... Some say that this diet may shrink the Fibroids... I don't know. But I do know that I will have children. It will be a yr for my dh and I in July. I pray to be preg by then... Can't do a 3rd MYO. OK, I could but I don't wanna and I am not gonna... LOL!

Ms. Monet---the fibroids came back already?????

Well, I was told when I got my Myo that there was one that remained. According to my Fert Doctor. I have 2 now. The small one which was left from surgery and a bigger golf size one. Somehow, my uterus is full. Maybe there is endo or scar tissue. I hate that the doctors don't want say too much. They keep telling me to wait until 2wks. Ugghh! Not sure if the Fibroids grew or not. The one that remained was the one that was acting as birth control. That is the one that was shaved down...

As strange as it may sound... I feel like everything is going to be OK. I am not upset and the fact that I forgot to mention it to you girls or anyone else... Usually, I give the 411.

Everything is going to be ok Ms.Monet. We've got to believe that!!!!!! :-)

Yes, I believe it. Just don't want to go the Myo route, again. I'm always the one saying that we have to go through anything to have a kid but Geez.... Guess I am contradicting myself, huh? The 2nd Myo was easier and less painful but more exhausting on my body... I was so much more weaker... I am definately not claiming this but guess I have to wait until the 26th for results. I'm wonderfing how a baby could grow with fibroids in the same space. Can they crush it?

Hi gals - MOON_ it's been a long journey I a__sure you! I am now waiting patiently for the results of the amnio I had on Tuesday. I took the amnio purely for "peace of mind" reasons - my early Screen had shown results "within normative range." I guess after I get this news I might finally calm down and enjoy this pregnancy! JOKER_ make sure to ask your surgeon (if you have another follow up appt.) if it is a faschia "thing" that is creating the bulge. Diet and exercise will NOT get rid of this. Save the money and hit the plastic surgeon! Trust me on this! Finally ALL_, I do have one small fibroid that has decided to creep up during this pregnancy. I guess once you get them, you'll always get them. If you have had the myo, go for the pregnancy as soon as you are "cleared" in good health. Ask for the HSG test first to see the condition of your uterus, to know the extent of your scar tissue. It should be small. the month you have this test, go for the TTC, HCG increases your success rate of conception. Good luck everyone. For those contemplating a Myo, don't be afraid. It's worth it.

MelissaK: Is this your first attempt at pregnancy since your myo last March? Be sure to fill us in on your progress, as it seems you've broken the grounds to this all-important next step. MsMonet, there's a reason for everything under this earth .......... so, have courage to keep striving on.

Hi Everyone... Wow, Ms. Monet, I have been off the board for a few days and so much has happened with you! Congrats on the tests being done and your spirit is truly amazing... you really are an inspiration. Keep it up because there are so many "exceptions to the rule" when it comes to pregnancy... you just never know when and/or how you will become pregnant, fibroids or not. The 26th will bring new information and then you will move forward. I know a woman who has a large fibroid and was told that she would not be able to get pregnant. She was OK with that and emotionally moved on. A few years later she "accidentally" became pregnant. They told her she was "high risk" and monitored her closely, but she carried the baby without major complications. They scheduled a C-section due to the fibroid and 3 weeks before the due date was told that the fibroid had moved and she could deliver v____ally, which is what she ended up doing. She now has a 11month adorable boy. My point being.... you just never know... Take Care! Juliane

Thanks for the inspiration, girls! Means alot! It's funny! In the beginning, I was so uncomfortable with doctors going to there... Now, I have had so many... I don't care and perhaps may not remember all of the faces of the doctors! LOL! All things are possible and I believe that God will bless my husband and I. He will bless all of us. We've got to believe! Guess I got alittle antsy... I thought to myself... Maybe I should do the Macrobiotic Diet... I heard that that may be able to shrink fibroids... I'll just remain calm and pray! AF should be coming on the 18th... The last few months has gone by so fast. The 26th will be around the corner. Can't believe I forgot to share about the fact that my uterus was found full... Oh, well. How are you girls all doing since your Myo's?

Hello. OK, I have to confess something... I called the Fertility Clinic and told them that I could not get off work on the 26th (Thurs)and that I needed an earlier date... He he he! Not true! So, I asked for the 23rd (Mon) and I got it which proves that they really don't need 2 wks before they can sit down and discuss the route that we need to take... He he he! 6 more days... Yippee!!! Father, forgive me!!! :)

That's funny Ms. Monet. Our Father will forgive you......he'd better because he knows that I've done alot worse than that and I am counting on his forgiveness. haha! That's great that you got the date changed! And I'm sorry that I forgot to look at my bottle of myo pain meds that I told you were great! I'll write myself a little note. :-)

RU-That's OK. How are you (post Myo)? BTW, did you have any bladder problems after your Myo? Are you in NY or NJ?

I live in NJ but work in NY. I did have some post myo bladder problems but they went away after a few days. It didn't happen immediately after the myo but several weeks later when I think my body was starting adjust to normalcy. I'm doing good though-- My scars look good and i just went back to the gym last w/e. That was scary b/c i was worried about all the jumping but I did alright. I hope to go tomorrow morning to the gym. Wish me well. haha!

I live in Brooklyn and work in NY, too. How much longer before you can ttc?
