Fertility is my goal too. If I can meet a nice guy I

am definitely planning on trying to prove it is

possible.

Not sure I am up to single parenthood

Do you have a good doc?

Need a good one so you don't end up like me wasting an

extra year having a second myo because the first

Doctor leaves the tumor in.

I have not tried to conceive after the myo. I am

single and not really in a serious relationship, and I

am not sure if I can handle single parenthood. The

thought of fertility after myo pops up in my mind

often, and I asked the doctor about this issue three

weeks ago during my follow up, and he told me that I

can have kids now if I want to. A part of me wants to

try right away, but again I ask myself if I can handle

it alone. However, I know some women who had babies

after myo. I guess each person/situation is different.
