Fibroids & Infertility

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm new to the group and have lots of questions! I'm 34 yrs old

and was diagnosed with fibroids about 5 years ago. Two are about 5

cm. and I have a bunch of pea sized ones. One lg one is submucosal

and partially blocking a fallopian tube. I've had an HSG and with

lots of dye they were finally able to achieve spillage into my

ovaries. All other fertility test checked out ok except my FSH which

is a little high but still within " normal " range. I had a myo

scheduled last month but chickened out and cancelled it last moment.

I do have symptoms from my fibroids (heavy bleeding, cramps, fatigue)

but I would " live with them " to avoid surgery. However, my husband

and I have been ttc for 3 years with no luck (he checks out ok). I

saw an RE and she says my uterus is too hostile of an environment for

an egg to emplant and recommends a myo. If I had more time I would

try a more " holistic " approach with diet, exersize, herbs, acupunture

etc. But I feel like my eggs are getting old! I have two main

questions 1) What is the success rate of getting pregnant after a

myo? 2) Does diet, herbs etc really help with shrinkage (ie should I

stop eating meat and dairy etc as the books say?). Any information

or advise would be much appreciated!!! Thank you! Deborah
