Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Hey Kris, No problem. Since your a newbie here (I was last week haha!) I thought I'd tell you as much as I know. Do you know if fibroids run in your family? Every female in my family has them. There are a few books that you can take out at the library or buy on the topic that will calm your nerves a bit...well it did mine. One is called " Fibroids: The Complete Guide to Taking Charge to your physical,emotional and sexual being " -by Johanna Skilling. The other by the same author is called " First Year Fibroids: An Essential Guide to the Newly Diagnosed " . You should find out what type of fibroid you have. My doctor put me on depo provera and two days ago I got her on the phone and gave her the 3rd degree regarding my research and findings b/i'm on that medication. My advice, the more educated you are on the topic the better off you'll be,,the more questions you can ask your doctor.I love my GYN to death but i had to remind myself that dr's are just people and they can be wrong regarding the ways to go about treatment. I don't have kids, i'm not married, i'm not even in a relationship and she told me that i had 18 months to have a child. Once I heard that I cried then after all the reading and speaking w/the women on this board, I realized there's nothing to cry about.... I'm going to get a second opinion. Just be sure you do what feels right for you and not what seems to be convenient for your doctor. Think Positive! Happy Days!!!! -Shaunah In uterinefibroids , " Kris " <angelkk1802@y...> wrote: > Hey! > Thanks for the reply! I was just curious...and now I feel like maybe > I have an idea of what mine would be.
