Re: to Careen / homeopathy or other natural ways

[Guest guest]

Hi Careen,

Well, I already was in your position, trying to reduce

the fibroid with homeopathy, many drops and stuff,

Yoga excersises, meditation, praying and anything you

can imagine, BUT the reality is that it is the same

size (AT LEAST), and the symthoms are the same, not

worse, not better, as usual..hopefully I have never

had many bad sympthoms, only a heavy second period day

and big bumping in my stomach two or three days before

my period.

I dont remember which is exactly your age, but in my

case I am 36, not so many years to have a baby, and

taking into account that pregnancy takes 9 months

...almost a year..so I try that fibroid at least dont

grow anymore, and in the meantime I try to conceive.

Yes, is true what you say that fibroids does not match

with pregnancy, BUT my gyn..luckly as she is a woman,

has always tell me..try to conceive Marleen, because

if I open you I can not guarantee you that I will safe

you uterus...YES now that I discovered this group I

know that she says that as she is not an expert in

myos, but I live in Montreal, Canada, and here so far,

there are not so many doctor specialized in doing

sucessfully myos. Most of the woman here in this board

lives in USA, and it is not evident for a canadian

financial point of view going down there and doing the

surgury.That is why I give myself a deadline of trying

to conceive first and see. BUT MY problem is that

since august I am trying and nothing..not sucess,..so

I have also heard the fibroid affects fertility,

mainly when they change considerably the internal

shape of the uterus,..my case..a big intramural one.

Nevertheless, I keep trying who knows..and pray a

lot..to god..in order to help me.

I could tell you that as far as I have read, yes

fibroids grow along with the baby, BUT IT IS NOT

IMPOSSIBLE. My gyn told me that the first three months

at the worst as there is a competition that is

established between the fibroid and the fetus..both of

them wanting the blood supply and one of them

dies..ALWAYS..according to my gyn..is the baby who

wins..and as a result the fibroid start degenerate

(shrink) it makes involuntary contrations to the

uterus and it can cause the prematury delivery, so if

very soon the fetus dies. But, if you can reach the

5th or the 6th months, is complete possible. She also

told me I will have to do a lot of rest, stop working

and so on BUT i think it worth it.

There are many women Careen, that go to the doctor and

in the first eco of their pregnancy they just realized

they have a fibroid..BUT YES it is possible that a

woman could have a baby with a fibroid..it is just a

matter of having some chance and good luck I think..

The main risk of a fibroid with a pregnancy is that

there are a 25% of pregnancy that are lost before the

delivery and some times not sucessfully so, this could

be some kind of fustrating and with other psicological

effects for the person, BUT i am giving a try.

I have also read that fibroids are caused as a result

of too many estrogens, so an hormonal disbalance..this

is how I am starting to think I have perhaps a tiroid

problems..as I am charting my ovulation and my

temperatures but I do not reach a promedium

temperature, not on the days of ovulation,..I know I

have ovulation, but in other days of the cycle..so I

am going to check that point to see...Anyway..I could

explain you some other things and give you my

comments,..if you want just let me know..Thanks god we

have this opportunity to exchange our experiences..

I beg you to pardon my english, as my native language

is the spanish,..but if I can help you again..just

write me..

Many thanks for your feed back

Marleen
