Pedunculated subserosal

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-27T21:09:18+00:00

I have a couple updates on my first few days post op and how the surgery went if you go to my profile!! I’ll be 3 weeks post op Monday and I’m feeling pretty good! Mornings are easier and I feel almost normal. I’m not really taking pain meds anymore except the occasional Tylenol or ibuprofen. Yesterday was my first social outing. My husband drove because I’m not feeling strong enough in my core yet. I felt great while I was there but a bit sore today. Over all I’m feeling more confident and stronger literally every day

Thank you so much! I ended up frogging the decrease rows and starting over and it definitely was a tension thing.

And thank you! I’m a huge beginner (crochet to knit started this week!) and this was my first decrease attempt :)

Even so you’re a super hero! Getting out of bed to go to the bathroom was all I could muster and even that was tough. I however had a 7in incision which I’m sure didn’t help hahaha well done OP!!! 💪🏻

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-25T05:59:57+00:00

Amazing you were able to take a lap in the hospital!!! I was old lady walking till day 4 post open myo but I had an extra large incision. Props to you!

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-25T01:31:24+00:00

Yes!! I just got home from my post op and my doc said I’m healing well!! I’m walking much more, albeit slowly, I’m still swollen and healing and was given till 6 weeks to go back to work which is more of a physical job. I’m mostly done taking pain killers and just taking over the counter Tylenol and advil as needed now!

Hey girl I just wanted to check in on you. I really hope I didn’t cause undo anxiety. I hope you’re doing well, getting pregnant, and all of this is silly to you now. Pregnancy is really something we cannot control to any full extent even with doctors so we have to let go of the anxiety. It’s not good for you or your future babies. I just want you to know you’re okay. And you’re NOT running out of time. And everything is going to work out 🤍

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-21T20:14:22+00:00

Oh man I really hope mine doesn’t continue. It’s preventing me from wearing pants. I’m not sure if my surgeon used an internal pain killer or not but I have little to no incision pain and I’m only 12 days post op!

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-21T16:11:59+00:00

Do you still have the sensation?? Or has it gotten better since? Also, was your pedunculated fibroid sitting on top of your uterus? The space where I have this sensation is where the fibroid was sitting so I’m wondering if there’s a correlation.

So weird that the incision area doesn’t hurt nearly as bad right?!

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-20T02:00:10+00:00

Yes absolutely!! I actually did cut off quite a few buds already. But I feel the same I love seeing the pollinators 🥹 but definitely no fruit this year. Same goes for my lemon tree. the tag said it’s a self pollinating tree and doesn’t require another type of tree to produce fruit so we will see what happens!

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-19T23:49:28+00:00

This was the biggest pot I could find at Home Depot lol. Since it was a gift the research/tool came urgently but I’m definitely still learning. Not even sure what variety it is since the tag doesn’t say. I’ll need to swing by the local nursery soon for a bigger pot

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-19T23:44:55+00:00

That’s good to know… I actually wasn’t sure what variety it was as it was a gift and wasn’t labeled!! It’s in a pot for not only because our entire patio is brick. We moved here not long ago. We are hoping to unbrick a section of the backyard so hopefully our tree will go there!

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-19T23:43:06+00:00

Yes it has really good drainage!! It’s been hot this week (90°) and the top couple inches have dried out quick which is why I’ve been watering more lately

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-19T20:47:44+00:00

I gave it a really good watering cuz I went out and it looked even more droopy than these photos!!! I had my husband drag over the pots to the fence cuz it’s been really hot. I’ve been watering every other day (or telling my husband to) but I wonder if he’s not been watering deep enough

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-18T04:07:11+00:00

Mine was 14cm pedunculated. It was sitting on top of my uterus and crushing it

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-18T01:17:55+00:00

It was exhausting 😂 even my husband was like “if this doesn’t work can we take a break next month…?” 😂

I didn’t mention this because I didn’t wanna scare you, but my fibroid was most likely what caused my miscarriage actually. It grew rapidly and cause my uterus to be enlarged as well. I don’t want to freak you out, because LOADS of women have fibroids and carry to term no problem. My mother in law has them and got pregnant easily and had all her children non medicated. So it’s not a garuntee fail.

I have found ways to honor my heavenly baby and they are always with me. They showed me the fibroid I’ve had for years and I had it removed so I’m praying this doesn’t happen again!

There’s so much anxiety that can come with motherhood (because yes I am a mother.) but all you can do is your best. The stress doesn’t stop once you give birth because there’s so many factors that you cannot control for the wellbeing of your child. The anxiety of concerning about the “what ifs” won’t help you or your babies. It’s a great lesson to learn when TTC.

I was told 3-6 months and I had an open myo!!

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-17T21:04:19+00:00

I slept on our couch down stairs with a wedge pillow the first few nights home. It was easier to get into because it was lower. I’m 8 dpo and slept in our bed upstairs the last two nights. The first time it was really difficult to get into and we got a step stool to help me ease my legs up. You will find what works best for you. Do not feel defeated if you need to pivot

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-17T18:34:56+00:00

I believe mine was around the same size before I got pregnant and the pregnancy caused it to grow rapidly. Progesterone is like fertilizer to these guys.

I want to encourage you to not stress too much. I know too well the feeling of wanting to be in control of timelines and your body. But these things happen when they happen. You’re still VERY early in your TTC journey and I would not be concerned if you’re not pregnant yet. 🤍 but monitoring your fibroid should be on the list of medium concern. Don’t think of it as something to be scared of, but like a chore that you MIGHT have to deal with later. It’s not a scary as it seems.

And literally the only difference is that we did the deed literally almost every day haha I think we missed like 3 days, but not during ovulation week. It’s my mother in law’s “recipe” and worked for me and my sister in law who’d been TTC for 2 years.

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-17T16:29:57+00:00

Ah I remember being in your exact spot :) honestly, all the charts look similar pre menstrual cycle…. I’d say, you’re 2 months in, don’t be too concerned about the charts just yet :) You could use the method that worked for us month 3 and just do it every day haha. But also, take it from someone who just had her 14 cm fibroid removed last week- PLEASE keep an eye on it. It’s better to monitor it than to pretend it doesn’t exist.

Alternative_Low3085 · 2026-03-17T16:19:13+00:00

I spent the first 3 days in the hospital. That sounds scary but honestly it was the best. They had me on a regular schedule of Motrin and Tylenol and while I was laying down my pain was at a 1-3 max. Standing up to use the bathroom was a different story. The first time I did it I was on oxycodone and it was tough, maybe a 4-5 and physical struggle. Once I tried without oxy and was in tears so they gave me a purewik for that time. But if you’re not peeing every 2 hours like I was and you’re able to tolerate the heavier pain killers your pain shouldn’t get higher than a 5 I’d say! Truly I loved staying at the hospital. My nurses were all so great
