Hi all, Thank you a lot Sashaaaaa I really can´t believe it!. Here goes my story. I knew I had known I have fibroids for five years. They were very small, 5 mm, when they were detected so the doctor told me not to do anyhing and wait until I wanted to get pregnant. Five years later, we decided that we were going to try, so I went to another doctor (as I changed my med a__sistance during that period and also did not felt comfortable with the first one), after researching and finding one which I considered suitable for this "big job", and visited him. He studied me and told me that my fibroids had grown, and that if I don´t have them removed, I will probably not get pregnant and if I made it it was going to be an ectopic pregnancy. One of the fibroids was specially bothering as it measured 5 cms and was obstructing the left "entrance" wall, according to the doctor it acted as a DIU; an another one was very near to the left tube, in fact it was 3 mm to obstruct it. My periods hurt, but not that much. I havent even dropped the pill once, so I didn´t know what to do if I should first or follow doctor´s advice. I also got scared to death as I had never been through a surgery. But then we talked with my husband and also with my sister who is a doctor and helped me/pushed me making the decision of having them removed asap. In August 11 I had the myectomy with a speedy recovery. In two weeks I was back to work! I still had small stings but completely bereable They removed six fibroids, the biggest one measured 5 or six cms of diameter, they were all in the walls and outside of my uterus. My gyno told me that the tubes were totally unobstructed after the surgery, but that is what most doctors tell you.... On December the doctor told me that I should leave the pill and start trying to get pregnant. We did it! but without really counting the days when I was ovulating and that stuff, because we tried to avoid getting stressed and having too many expectations (we tried it doesn´t mean that we did it). Then in January I decided to start counting the days without letting him know, but we discussed in the middle, so we didn´t do it during the day I was ovulating, another lost month. In February I started reading the book (important data) and everything seemed to be Ok. Om Monday I did an Evatest (the third since I strated trying) and two slight stripes appeared. I couldn´t believe but mu husband told me I was imaging it so I decided to wait til next day to go to my gyno. I went there and they ordered a blood test. I had eaten lunch just before but they told me it didn´t matter. The nurse who was going to do the blood extraction asked me? Do you want to be pregnant? And I answered more than anything, it´s strange cause it was the first time I hear myself saying it without even thinking about it, just answered. She said that´s great to hear. Then she told that I will have the results by 7.00 pm and wished me luck. At 8.00 pm the doctor called gave me the new and asked me go to see him on Friday . We decided not to tell our families until we are sure everything is ok, hope this happens quickly as I want to tell them. So you are knowing this before my family!. Thanks all for all your support during this period, it´s really important to read your posts and know that someone is reading me and also going trough all of this. But let´s think positive, and fight, it´s worth the effort. Baby dust to all of you and have a great evening.

FABULOUS story Damajuana! So, it sounds like it took you about two months right? That's great!! What is the book you were reading? Would you recommend it? I have tons of books - pregnancy, fibroids, fertility, miscarriage, etc. If there's a book you think we could benefit from, please say the name. I totally hear you when you say you want to tell your families when you are pretty sure everything is okay. I feel the same way-but I know I won't be able to keep my mouth shut from my mom, sisters and brother. :) I won't tell my friends though. Okay- well, let's hope I have somehting to tell them! Thanks Damajuana!!!! Sasha~

Hi damajuana, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! :-) You definitely have given me hope. This has been a depressing week for me with two of my closest friends baby showers coming up this weekend and another one has just told me she is pregnant. Can I put the world on pause until I get pregnant!!!!!! :-) I am so happy for them and so sad for me at the same time. However, reading your awesome news has given me more energy to keep hoping and trusting that God will work it out. KM I will be praying for you in your decision for myo. For me losing my little angel, Gavin at 20 weeks was pain I hope to never have to experience again. That is why I did my myo because I wanted to give my next angel a fair chance of survival. I pray for all those who has to make that decision and for those like me who are waiting to ttc and for those who are already trying. God has a plan for all of us and his timing will happen for each of us. Until then, let us claim good health, success in TTC and safe and wonderful pregnancies....baby dust, love and faith to all!!:-)

Many thanks for the congratulations Sasha, katarinak and Josie7. Sasha the book is called the Secret, it was written by Rhonda Byrne and it´s a book about how positive thoughts attract positive things and abundance to life. And it really helped me changing the way I saw things. It´s won´t change anyone´s life but believe me it helps a lot to think positive and relief stress.

I know I'm late, but CONGRATULATIONS daumajuana!!!!! I am SOOOO HAPPY for you!!! Wow, see what happens when I don't come to this thread for a few days??? I remember your story vividly, and I recall reading about your myo experience because it was a couple of months before my myo. Good things can happen ladies!! I will be praying that you have a great doctor's appointment on Friday!!! And please, keep us posted.

Hello Ladies... I hope everyone is doing well. Damajuana congrats on your pregnancy. I wish you nothing but the best. I read the news on Feb 26 and I ran upstairs and told my husband. I was so happy you would have thought I was pregnant. Keep positive thoughts and pray... that's the on;y advice I can give you. For all you ladies out their ttc claim your child. This may sound silly.. buth when I pray I pray for the daughter I lost but I also pray for the child God is going to give me. I claim it. If God is on your side who can be against you. Josie thank you for your prayers they are truly appreciated. I have a doctors appt. tomorrow. I have many questions I am going to ask. Please pray for me that I make the right decision. I have decided to have the surgery (I don't know which one... will have a better understanding once I meet a few times with the doctor). Most of us have lost our child and to put another child through something like that is not what I am going to do. Just the thought of my child fighting for blood supply and nutrients is just too much for me to bear. Had any of you considered UFE... I know they say not to attempt if you want to get pregnant but it is less invasive then surgery. Again good luck to everyone on ttc. God Bless.

Damajuana, congratulations! I am so happy for you!!!! What a blessing.

KMWiliams-I was really considering UAE, becuase I am originally from Europe and I was reading they have prety good results over there with it even on womens who attempt pregnancy after. So I keept asking my doctor about that as my option, but he said 100% no, but that is just my case. I even found a doctor who was willing to do my surgery laparoscopicly, but my group of OBGys warned me not to do it so way, because the risk of uterus rapture during next pregnancy and I don't know why, but I trusted them, so finally I decided to go with my original group of Obgys and with traditional abdominal myomectomy and after a surgery I was so happy I did so, because I had only 2 fibroids taken out, but the big one was size of grapfruit I was told and that would be really hard to repair laparoscopicly. And just put your mind little bit on easy, after my pregnancy my obgyn dr. in Europe were sugesting me to go ahead and try for another pregnancy, but Dr. over here in USA seggested surgery and I was SO TEMPTED TO TRY ANOTHER PREGNANCY , VERY TEMTED, I kept going back and front between decision, but my DH was 100% again pregnancy, before we would try to take care of the fibroids. He told me that he stronly believe that it is "Very selfish from me to attemp another pregnancy (without surgery) and let my baby fight over there with fibroid for space, blood, nutritiens and fibroids pushing on his/her head" And when he told me that I realized that he is 100% right, that I would do anything to give my baby healthy and stressfree 9 months in my belly, just like he/she desrves it. And I have to say, that now after surgery I AM SO HAPPY I DID THE SURGERY, SO HAPPY. I feel that my body is ready to attemp another HEALTHY pregnancy. If I would have to do a decision again I would definetelly go for surgery, if nothing else, but the feeling that I got out those monsters whom killed my baby. If nothing else, That is the best feeling I had in a long time. And even the surgery by itself is not as bad as it sound at all. I wasback to my old self in 2 weeks. And with choosing the approach and right Dr. I believe you should research as much info as much you can find and than go by your inner feelings.This way no metter what you and your DH will know that you tryed to do all you posibbly could to give your next baby healthy 9 months.

Congratulation damajuana!!! I am so happy for you. Here is to a healthy and happy 9 months!!!! I am going to pray God blesses you with the best pregnancy ever!!!! KM I am sorry you are still struggling with how you want to proceed. I just thought the with the statistics and all of the results I found and with my dr.'s advice the myo was best for me. I am at exactly three weeks past my myo and I feel great!!! I still have the muffin top thing going on but from what I have read it may be a while before that pa__ses. I say all of that to say this - the myo was the right choice for me but you have to do what feels right for you. Do all of your research, get second opinions, and find the right doctor for you. That is the most important thing - trusting your doctor. Just keep us posted on what is going on with you and know you are being prayed for.

Hi girls! Thanks Kat 123, katarinak MWilliams and Angelkitty. I can´t believe it, but yesterday´s afternoon I went to the bathroom and noted some small bleeding, run to the doctor and I have a very slight bruise in the bag or sac (not sure how it´s called in English). Girls every rose has it´s thorn. Result: The doctor sent me home and I should stay here for some time, today I have the appointment with my gyno, and probably will stay at least ten days at home. Don´t know why this happens yet, can be coagulation problem, or don´t know what else but it´s not due to a fibroid, as I had an ultrasound yesterday and there was no sign of fibroids in the uterus. I am still reading the secret and thinking positive, this is nothing but a message to slow down, as I had been too busy in the last days. I am totally focused on recovering. Keep you posted on progress. Bye

Still waiting for AF...dang it, come ON already!

KKMS that stinking AF she just does not get it does she? LOL!!! Damajuana please keep us posted on what is going on with you. I am so excited that there are no signs of fibroids for you!!!! That is awesome!! KM how are you? Joker - how is it going?

Hello Ladies I hope everyone is having a great day so far. I went to the doctors yesterday and was told I will need an Ab myo done. I have another appt on Wed. I feel I am making the right decision to get the myomectomy done. I am extremely nervous but confident with my choice. Who has gotten the ab myo? How long were you told to wait before ttc? I was told 3 months. Damajuana enjoy your pregnancy I know you are worried about the bllod but keep a positive upbeat att_tude and pray. Pray like you never prayed before and God will work things out for you. Joker where are you? I hope all is well. I will keep everyone posted. God Bless.

KM Williams-most of us on this site have abdominal myo. I had my January 24th 2008 and was told to wait 6 month. I know it is longer that is necesery, but I know that my group of Obgyn are very caution. Maybe to much. But I am OK with it, I'm going with the flow. So my next app. is set for July 15th when he will check my uterus if it is ready to TTC again, which by then definetelly should be. So you are lucky that you only need to wait 3 months after surgery, that will fly by, with recovery etc.You want even know and it will be time to ttc for you. Do you know approx. when you would have the surgery ?
