Marissa,

Didn't know that if you were 44, or around, chances are that the

fibroids won't grow back? Do you have any more details on this? I

never heard that before. Anyone explain....

would have had a very hard time trying to conceive due to my

fibroids, so I had them removed. However, after the surgery, I still

could not conceive, because of adhesions that had developed due to

the surgery, I was then given the option to undergo microsurgery to

remove the adhesions or try to conceive through IVF. I chose IVF

and today I have 2 boys, and unfortunately I have my fibroids AGAIN.

age (44 tomorrow) chances are that I will not have to deal with a

regrowth of fibroids. Hope he is right.

> Anyway, there is definitely hope of conceiving after myo, not

everyone develops lots of scar tissue like I did, my sister, for

instance, also had not one but two myos prior to having her

children, and then after that conceived on her own with no problems.
