Hello all,I know it's been a while since I posted, but I figured I would give you an update. Had surgery on Monday. The thought I had about 8-10 fibroids and wanted to check out the ovarian cysts as well. Based on all this had to be myomectomy, so open incision. They found 18 fibroids, removed 4 cysts (1 on each ovary, and 1 on each Fallopian tube near the ovaries) as well as some endometriosis; at least one of my ovaries was stuck to my uterus with endometrial tissue.I am feeling better than I did on Monday, but healing is slow going. Still sleep several times a day, uncomfortably, and panicky over that elusive first BM. Out of work for the next 5 weeks, so I should be able to at least check once a day before I go back to work and get overwhelmed.Follow up with surgeon is in 10 days. Have to wait 3-4 months before I can do IVF #1, so if all heals up properly and there are no unforeseen issues, we are looking at August. That's it for now. Happy to answer any questions.

Wow, that is a lot of fibroids and other crap to get out of there. Glad you are on the mend but I'm sure it will be slow going for a while. Wishing you a speedy recovery;-)

Thank you all. I was a little incredulous at first about what all he reported after (18!?!?!). In the end, I am glad that I had it done instead of trying to patch and then finding out that I had to stop because of something else.

Definitely hope so. Trying not to be neurotic and worry about any future issues b/c of it. Right now I am cautiously optimistic.
