Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 Angie, If you plan/want to have kids someday, I think the only option you have is abdominal myomectomy. Ask your dr. if he's performed these before. If so, how many per month, year, how many years. Make sure you find an experienced dr. (It's kind of like making sure your pilot has flown many times, more than once a month.) - Good Luck - Debbie new to group > Hi Ladies > > My name is Angie and I am a 33year old virgin who was > just daignosed with large fibroids.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 Hi Angie, My name is Angie, and I too just found out I have fibroids. Unfortunately, it was through an ultrasound to see the first picture of our first baby. We saw the baby, but also saw a fibroid that wouldn't fit in the whole screen. At 23 x 14 cm, they compared it to the size of a 5 month fetus. I have two others, but both are a small 3 cm compared to this one. I'm going through some tough times myself, as this fibroid could pose a great risk to my pregnancy. A c-section is the only way I can have this baby, as the fibroid is positioned over the cervix. I surely know what you're going through..... I'm praying I will be able to hold on to this pregnancy and have a " normal " baby. The doctors I am seeing have given me just about every scenario that can happen in the next 5 months, to help me be as prepared as I can. It sounds like after the c-section, or before I get pregnant again, I have to have a myomectomy, in hopes a future pregnancy will not be high risk. It is great that you are getting informed and taken care of now, rather than finding out when you're pregnant (and without health insurance, as I am!) Take care. You're certainly NOT alone!
