6 month update from my abdominal myo

[Guest guest]

Most of you have joined since I had my surgery on October 4th so I

don't recognize your names. If you click on " Photos " you can view

some of the fibroid pictures from my surgery.

I am 31 and my husband and I have been trying to conceive since eight

weeks post myo with my REs approval. Well, guess what? I am

pregnant!!! Just found out... I can't believe how terrified I was

going into surgery six months ago fearing that I might lose my uterus

or never be able to conceive. I am on cloud nine! This was our 5th

cycle of trying.

I just wanted to let you know not to lose hope for those who still

want to have children. My myo was extensive -- the largest fibroid

was 18cm and my uterus was the size of a 20-week pregancy.

Try to stay positive and take one day at a time. And most

importantly - try not to be too hard on your body! I remember being

so mad at my body for betraying me. Hopefully no more of those

suckers will pop up -- or at least they better wait until we have

completed our family!

Best wishes,
