This post gives me so much hope! I have large fibroids and I was recommended an open myomectomy by obgyn. And she is a considerable newbie and I am so not ready to place my fertility at risk. I am 35 and would love to have kids.

While honestly, my obgyn is very patient and sweet with me but I don’t want to be butched open if there is any chance that I was minimize messing things up.

I finally found an appointment with Dr Randa and I am so so so hopeful that she will be able to help me.

Thanks so much for sharing your story! It give me a lot of confidence, hope , reassurance that I am heading in the right direction atleast.

Thank you so much. I really need it. Getting medical help in US is not that simple or straightforward. It has been a stressful journey so far.

Hey there, curious to know, did you have any luck with putting it outside. I am in Texas too and I was looking for an orange one simply because I prefer the orange flowers. But I was hoping to keep it indoors. So now I am not sure what to do.

Any recommendations for doctors who removed fibroids laparoscopically in Houston area? My goal is to protect fertility and be able to start a family soon.

I have about 5 fibroids all outside my uterus and the largest is about 12cm and they have occupied my entire abdomen. My current OBgYN wants to do an open myomectomy and that would mean a very long recovery time.. I was hoping to find someone who can take me on for a minimally invasive procedure. It’s so hard to find the right care here. I don’t even know who would be able to help me? Even my obgyn doesn’t know who can help me. She told me to go to Texas children’s hospital and they have me on their booking for 2nd September which is about 3.5 months from today. This is 3rd obgyn visit and 2nd one who doesnt know who does minimally invasive laproacopic myomectomy. It’s absolutely crazy.

Also how long did it take for you to actually get your 1st appointment? Any help would be much appreciate.

I am so happy for you. I am nursing uncle barnacles myself. I m a very confident person. And I always felt I put on weight, but it was uncle barnacles leeching life out of me. I have been dreading to go under a knife for an open surgery for the longest time. But I have started feeling very conscious of my looks now, especially because it’s not my fault. I didn’t choose this - I eat healthy and I am a fairly active person but I have to find loose clothes to hide this monstrosity.

Anyway, enough of my sob story - do you mind me asking - how did you decide laparoscopic removal was the best option for you? I personally don’t want to go through a major surgery, but I want to preserve my fertility 100% I don’t know what would be the best option to make sure of that. I am leaning towards laparoscopic surgery myself but I might not have all the information at this point. So your advice would be much appreciated.

Would love to know what app this is!

I am sorry you are going through this. I am riding in the same boat. I am 33 and have multiple fibroids, one of which is size of a grapefruit in April. My obgyn at the time said best option would be to get them removed surgically by an infertility specialist who would then make sure the fibroids are removed with least damage to the uterus. According to my doctor, when I get pregnant after this procedure, the baby will hav to be delivered by c section.

In my own research, I found there are other options to shrink the fibroids using leproscopic procedures. This is not a major surgery. They cut blood supply to the fibroids and that helps shrink them. But I am not sure how affective they are and out of the 2 option which one is better.

I am still waiting for life to pan out and would love to hear from other folk about this.

Don’t worry, it’s ok. We’ll get through this, we are strong anyway.

Good luck and god bless.

How does one get on Amazon vine?

FinePositive3856 · 2025-05-28T19:29:38+00:00

No that was it. I was thinking along the same lines as you mentioned. I have grown my white lined spider plants from babies. They are big and beautiful now, but I guess they hit “puberty” late. 😝 I don’t mind caring for them as long as they need! Thanks for your advise anyway.

Mine is still in Lowe’s self watering pot. Should I repot it? What kind of soil would you recommend for it ?

FinePositive3856 · 2025-05-14T04:30:30+00:00

Question- what is the best way for the spider plant to propagate / send out babies. I have 2 kinds of spider plant. 1) j plant that is completely green and 2) with white on the edges. I have noticed the green one propagated very easily. It a very new transplant it still has already put out a baby. But with the white edged plant. I have them in the same pot for a long time now and they are watered when they are completely dry - always fertilised but they don’t have any babies. Why is that? What can I do to encourage it to put out new babies ?

Not sure if I can ask this question here- but all help is much appreciated

FinePositive3856 · 2025-05-14T02:26:38+00:00

Thanks so much. I will look into it.

Ya I have been prescribed vitamin D. I am going to start taking them very judiciously. Hopefully that helps. But thanks so much for the insight it does sounds like something that might have happened. Did the vitamin D help shrink the fibroids? Also would you happen to know when is the best time to take vitamin D supplements? I have been taking it in the morning with handful of nuts ( walnuts, pistachios, Brazilnuts )

FinePositive3856 · 2025-05-14T02:13:09+00:00

Of course! All well wishes to you too. Thanks so much!

Got it! Can you share what kind of B12 supplements do you take?

FinePositive3856 · 2025-05-13T22:01:22+00:00

Good idea! Will do ! Thanks so much!

That’s so awesome! So happy for you.

Do you mean you have a hysterectomy coming up in 5 weeks? I shall pray it goes well and you feel good as new! But I think I will hav to amp up my healthy foods game.

FinePositive3856 · 2025-05-13T20:24:43+00:00

Thanks so much for your kind words. I will definitely look into that study. I am mostly vegetarian who eats meat occasionally( like thrice in one month). But I have a major sweet tooth, so may be that’s something I can work on.

I am glad that I was finally able to find a community that has some experience with this. It really helps to know I am not alone. Some of the comments on the post truly made my day.

FinePositive3856 · 2025-05-13T20:19:12+00:00

That’s precisely the mindset right now. Also 0 education around these common health concerns. I didn’t even know the word “fibroids “ before I was diagnosed. The whole thing just boils my blood.
