Uterine Fibroids

ForTheLoveOf Pink · September 2010

Since the RE was not very informative.....big suprise. Ladies what are your experiences with fibriods.....my RE says we will be scheduling surgery.....what type of surgeries are there? How long is recovery? and how long for the TTC to start again? I know everyone is different and procedures are different.

I'm so frustrated with this roadblock....yet again.

Hi ya, as you can see im in the same boat (siggy, you can google them, alot of info there) thats the op im having along with others......i must ring in a week or so and ask those very same ?s, very interested in when to start TTC again, i think she told us at the time but its a blurr because i was a bit thrown back hearing about the Fibroid and Polyp AND Retroverted Uterus.....they are all pretty common, i cant wait for the op though BRING IT ON Big Smile

Im sorry your also going through it but what can we do Sad

wishing you the best ((hugs))

Hi. I had something similiar. An endometrioma (cyst caused by endometriosis) It was removed via outpatient laporoscopic surgery. Camera through the naval and a 1/4 inch teeny slice for the other tools just about at each hip bone. I started treatment for my current IUI immediately after AF got here after the surgery. The surgery did sort of count as an AF and so it took a good 28 days post surgery for the witch to get going. The doctor said to take off 3 days of work which I definitely needed after the surgery. Some claim to feel totally normal after 1 week which is ridiculous. Totally normal is more like 6 weeks. But even at 1 week I was working around my house on painting walls etc. With some regrets the next day. I was told I also have a fibroid on the outside of my ute but the dr felt it was ok to leave it. So I'm about to find out if all of this stuff worked when I POAS this weekend. I'll keep you posted. But I definitely feel good about getting it done. Like I said in another post, it seems like a barrier but in reality it is one step closer to getting things figured out for you. Good luck.

I had 1 large fibroid on my right side that was over half of my uterus. I had 2 others that were smaller. I also had a uterine septum so I was having surgery anyway. I ended up having to have a myomectomy because my RE couldn't get them out by the hysteroscopy/laparoscopy route.

The recovery from the Myomectomy was not easy. I have about a 5-6in c-section scar, had to stay in the hospital for 3 days, 2 nights, and was out of work for 2 weeks. I could hardly do anything for myself for at least 4-5 days and couldn't get out of reclining position by myself for over a week.

Had to wait 3 cycles to TTC again. I will have to have a c-section with any future pregnancies.
