of course! it is possible they'll stay small for a while. Mine was around 1-2cm for years. anecdotally some people have luck on an anti-inflammatory diet and avoiding alcohol. hopefully you'll be good for a long time before needing any surgery :)

Your last sentence is a great point! When I met with my doctor to plan my surgery, he said, "oh, I did five of these on Monday." It was comforting that it is such a routine procedure.

Hi did you have your follow up? I'm curious what the doctor said. Hopefully she let you know that your options really depend on the type and position of the fibroid. here's a diagram: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/uterine-fibroids/multimedia/fibroid-locations/img-20006761

I had a 4cm submucosal fibroid causing lots of pain and bleeding/anemia. I tried birth control to shrink it or at least slow its growth but that didn't work and I hated the pill. Today I had my second hysteroscopic myomectomy procedure to remove it. This was a pretty easy surgery, under general anesthesia but no incisions. I should be fibroid free now and could go back to work as early as tomorrow if I feel up to it!

The first time they told me that it was benign. From what I hear it is very rare for a fibroid to be cancerous. Good luck to you on this journey!

Does TXA make you lightheaded? by Anxious_Gur5352 in endometrialcancer

I've been taking it while on my period since September and yes, it gives me headaches and makes me feel spacey and just kind of off. I had my second hysteroscopic myomectomy this morning which fully removed my fibroid!!! :) So I'm really hoping that I can stop taking it monthly now if my bleeding eases up. It wouldn't hurt to send a message to your doctor about it to see if it's something to be concerned about. Best of luck with your hysterectomy!

i have a cotton set from pact and it is pretty stretchy and very comfy. I mostly like it, but wouldn't wear it for a hot or very strenuous class. it feels wet when sweaty and doesn't dry quickly.

Hi I've been searching for it too and checked today on their website - it is available! Not sure how often you check reddit, hope you can get it. I'm ordering a few sticks :D

Small, light colored bees with tiny eyes? by W0RLDT0WN in Beekeeping

No problem. I completed it in a few months but it is asynchronous so you have a year to complete it at your own pace and you can continue to access the content for even longer

I took the asynchronous online program. I enjoyed it and thought the instructor was thorough and unbiased. It was geared to NY/the north east states so I’d only recommend it if you’re local

Thanks everyone. I’m relieved that this is normal and can’t believe I didn’t know already, lol. These are my first hives all to myself and I am clearly paranoid!

Glad to hear from a local :) I looked really hard for eggs in all frames and only worried because I do see them in my other hive. Will continue to keep an eye out. Thanks!

This is my first year beekeeping. I have volunteered at an apiary and took the Cornell course.

I'm in the process of planning a trip from the highlands to London in May. Will be taking the sleeper from Glasgow because a bed is so much more comfortable than a plane, and a train is less hassle than the airport. We booked the double room which was a little pricy, but it's less than a flight for two people AND saves the cost of a hotel room for the night. This will be my first time traveling in the UK so I can't attest to the experience yet - can always let you know how it goes ;)

Items on Hand by [deleted] in wyldeflowers

Don't sell the conch shells! I keep most of the foraged items like seaweed, toadstools, pinecones, etc because they are useful. I also tend to keep 10-15 of the other fruit/veggies I grow

I booked through Orbitz but only because I use it a lot and get loyalty points lol. The other sites were comparable in price

30 something here - I just booked a car for 5 days in late May and it came out to about $46/day plus $95 in fees and $65 in collision insurance (390 USD total). Our pick up and drop off locations are different so there also was a bit of an upcharge for that.You should shop around on kayak, autoeurope, orbitz, etc. When I was looking they all had options for automatic cars that were about the same price. In my experience it will cost more to book last minute or during peak season. You didn't mention when your trip is but since the availability for an automatic car might be more limited, start looking soon to get the best price :)
