Myomectomy

Hey it has been some time since I have posted on this board, just wanted to see if any one else has had a myomectomy. I recently went to a fertility clinic and they said that I will need a myomectomey to remove my four and possably more fibroids. I have decided to go through the surgery as the fibroids ache even mid cycle, and I can feel them rolling around in my abdomine some times. Plus the effect that they have on my periods is not plesant at all!!!! Just was hoping that some one else has been through this surgery and can calm my nerves a bit. It is the first surgery I have ever had and it has me in a bit of a panick. Thanks a bunch.......JOY

Living wih PCOS

Welp, here it goes. My husband and I have been married for less than a year but together for a few. We have basically tried having a baby since we have become serious in 2003. I recently found out that I have PCOS. We finally had the health insurance to take some extra steps, my husband joined the U.S. ARMY in order for us to achieve our goals. I have been very irregular for the past few years, so trying to regulate that is a challenge in its self. We will be able to take our first round of Clomid this month, if I menstrate. We are moving to Germany at the end of the month and we have alot on our plate at this point. I am anxious to find some sort of support, I have many friends to talk to but not one that understands, as they all have children of their own. Should we be looking for other options? Have we chosen the right Doctor? All this and much more...

Infertility

Quote From: farmgirl28

Hi Shannon, My name is Cindy. I also have PCOS. I was just diagnosed this year in March. I went off my bc in December, thinking I wouldn't have a problem getting preg. I have a 9 yr old son already from a previous relationship. But my husband and I want a child together. Well from December to March I had only one period. I had been on BC since I had my son. I went to doc, and they ran tests and it was PCOS. It threw me for a loop because my mother had 6 kids, my sisters both have kids, my grandmother had 6 kids too. So I was surprised and shocked. I started taking provera to get my period started. Then I started Clomid, I am on my 3rd round of it. I go on the 2nd for another ultrasound. It is hard for me though. I know it is going to take some good planning. My husband is a truck driver and isn't home when needed. I will be 30 next month, I told my husband I would try till I am 35. As for the hair in unsual places, I am right along there with you. It is horrible. I feel disgusted by it and not lady like. I have never talked to my husband about it and probably never will. It is too embarrassing. I know he has to notice it at times but he never says anything about it. So I am right there with you, on the roller coaster ride of emotion. Good luck with everything.

Using the internet to network with women who know and feel exactly like we do is awesome. We are all so lucky to be able to share an experience or and idea that might be able to help someone. I have done the research since being diagnosed with PCOS, but it doesn't amount to a pile of beans if you don't understand what it is you are reading. "Real" experiences will be able to penatrate more deeply and ring truer.

Update

I haven't seen some of my supporters posting in quite a while, but I wanted to update you in case you are just hiding.

This week we will have our daughter. The ultrasound showed that she is nearly 7 pds and looks great! We will induce on Fri if she doesn't decide to pop in beforehand. After 4.5 years of waiting to concieve I really feared throughout this whole pregnancy that something would go wrong. I am rejoicing that so far things look good.

Best of luck to each of you. It does happen to some that think it wont. I am not sure why some have to suffer so much longer than others. I feel your pain.

great news

We found out Friday that we are pregnant! We are very excited. It's taken 5 years to get here, so it's still a little hard to believe. We are both very worried that something will go wrong and I'll miscarry. I try not to think about it, but it's hard. Anyway, this might sound like a stupid question, but I was just wondering how the due date is figured? I've done those due date calculators on line and they all say that I am 4 weeks already. But we did the transfer (we did IVF) on November 4, retrieval on the 1st. So I would only be 2 weeks right? I'm really confused. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Marcy

Lora, good luck with everything!

dealing with infertilty

i am only 20 years old and i recently found out that i cant have children. i am not looking to get pregnant or anything but i cant help but feel like a freak. my chromosome test and everything came back normal but i simply dont have any eggs. i just want to know how to deal with this. my family doesnt know. i didnt even get my first period until a couple of months ago. and that only happened because of the birth control pills that i am taking for replacing the hormones i dont produce. i have only told my sister who is 21 and has a beautiful baby girl and she threw it back in my face saying that maybe god was punishing me. my mother also knows but she is no help all she says to me is dont tell anyone else. i hate this. i want to know how to stop this crying and to move on with my life. any suggestions?

Unexplained Infertility

I went off of birth control August 04 and we are still not pregnant. I will be 33 this month and my clock is ticking away. I done clomid, injectibles and HSG with OBGYN. I started working with specialist Feb 05. We have had two failed artificial inseminations, stopped 3rd artificial insemination due to cyst, and had two failed IVF's. Last failed IVF was in November. Doc can not find anything wrong, which makes it that much harder in my mind. I have laparoscopy scheduled this month and will go right into another IVF after that. Thank goodness, husband's insurance has infertility coverage. Otherwise, we would not have went as far as we have now. How far is far enough is the question. My husband really does not want to adopt. If the doc says there is no way I am going to have children, then I am all for adoption. I want to be a parent if that is what it takes. I am not sure how many more cycle of this I can take physically and mentally. It is rough, but if we create a baby it will all be worth it. That is my storey.

First, you are not to blame for not having any eggs. Your family needs to be there for you. Why would your mother not want you to tell anyone else. It is not like you have some bad disease. I tried to keep my infertility between just me and my husband and it was so hard. It is so much better now that I can tell my sisters and mother ect. I am sure you will have options of having a baby...donor eggs, adoption ect in the future if that is what you chose. Hang in there and hopefully, they will come around.
