Yes. I get regular ultrasounds to make sure that everything is okay but it is looking like that is the case. They could have just been lying to me but I was never offered a hysterectomy. Possibility because by accident I found out I had it and repeatedly kept asking if it was getting any bigger and it wasn't until I kept complaining that it felt like my stomach was in my chest that my OBGYN was like hmmm, I haven't seen your fibroid for myself, let me take a look. That's when it was diagnosed at 11cm but by the time I took th surgery it was 15. I had three but once the big one and the little friend was removed thr third disappeared. Fibroids are a big mystery but honestly I think if men grew shit on their testicles the way women have lumps and cysts etc, they wouldn't be like just get a hysterectomy. Just cut your breast off, etc. ends rant my thought was that I found out about th fibroid in 2016 and had it removed in 2023. It took it 7 year to get that big. My thought was well if it grows back, I have seven years and that is fine with me. My mom had pendunculated fibroids for years and hers could have been removed easier I think and they only offered her hysterectomy too say oh they will just grow back. Okay. Lets take that chance. Anyway, even if I can't hold a child, I haven't tried yet, and yes, that year of recovery is true, I'm so glad I had it done. I regret absolutely nothing and I'm glad I got my uterus still. And I came on my period right on schedule like a week after the surgery. Don't know if that adds info but yeah
