Newbie...relieved to be here

February 19, 2004

Hello to everyone

I first joined a Clomid forum, then tried 2 fibroid forums after

an HSG diagnosed me, and now I'm trying here. I've received only 1

reply to my questions and I'm about to give up. Dh and I have been

ttc for 14 months and I supposedly ovulate and his sperm are okay.

I'm only 28 and had an HSG Monday. The doc (not my regular OB) said I

had at least one fibroid, which was blocking both tubes, and is large

enough to change the shape of my uterus and cause it to swell. From

what I've read I'm a more rare case than most. I've never had

symptoms or felt anything, I'm caucasian, I'm under 30, and I'm

pretty thin and fit. I go in for an US this afternoon and to meet

with my OB. One question I have is should my OB have found this

sooner during a pelvic exam? Also, I asked my OB if I should finish

the Estrogen for CD8-12 and he said I should. I asked if I should

continue ttc and he said I should not use protection. I would think I

should hold off and take care of the fibroid(s) first, but what do I

know. I wonder if I need a new OB. I do not know what he is going to

suggest after today, but I'm a very impatient person, and I do not

want to take this slowly and watch and wait. I do not want to try to

shrink the fibroid(s), I just want them (or it) removed or something

to improve my infertility. I obviously don't know a whole lot about

this, but what I do know right now is I want a baby. I realize I may

be acting irrational right now, but I blame the hormones. LOL! Any

suggestions or ideas or thoughts? I could use any help I can get.

Thanks to everyone! I'm going to go back now and read the other

posts, this seems like a busy forum. I hope I can get some answers.
