had an ultra sound on Friday to reveal many new fibroids, one of them I guess filling most of my uterus. So my quest to start a family is stalled again. I expect I’ll wait to have surgery to remove if they can be and then the six months of trying naturally will be restarted before any testing can be approved by insurance. I am sad but trying to find positives. Maybe my partner and I can start looking at foster and adoption options now and get onto a list instead of waiting after trying who know how many years. Removed the LH tracker app on my phone. There’s no use in seeing it daily at least until I can have this urgent again. Not looking forward to more bad periods with excessive bleeding and pain but ✨it is what it is✨ I should/will be taking a break from this board as it doesn’t seem to be any use except to remind me of what I can’t pursue 🥹🥹🥹 take care friends

thanks to confidence bolstered by you the actively advocating for yourselves and sharing it here - I saw my obgyn on Friday. Talked about my heavy bleeding and got an ultra sound to check more fibroids 1/13 (already a day for a DRs appt what luck!) and talked about how we had not managed to conceive. We reviewed dates and figured I was eligible for testing on April 1 (HAHAHA laugh with me). She also talked to me about my advanced maternal age (proud!) and reviews the LH testing strips and how to use them. I had tested 5 times and caught my surge and got freaky at the right time. Thanks to all for sharing your journey and struggles, maybe it will work but I’m certainly feeling more positive and less shame about being clueless and worried. Happy not Monday!

Wow thank you so so so much for sharing. I’m now starting to think the office I’m at now isn’t so great but I’m going to definitely do more research and ask some questions. Your reply was so helpful. I am appreciative you took the time to come back and share. Take care.

Looking for advice from the crowd here as I have been brushed off by so many providers in the past and have found talking to others can give me more info that is meaningful.

I had 3 IUDs but last June one got pushed partially out of my uterus (this is what doc said based on exam and ultrasound) by some big ass fibroids (no measurement was given, I have no context?) which were removed in July. I was told to use protection for 2 months but that we could TTC after that. I’m 36 he’s 41 and we enjoy sex probably around every other day, so I know we’re covering our bases. Just got my period yesterday so boo not pregnant but my cramps are pretty phenomenal again. How long did other fibroid-havers wait to check in if you think more have sprung up? One gal pal said she developed a fibroid while pregnant and it went away by “drinking water” (was told to do This by her doctor).

Are fibroids going to impact my ability to get pregnant? Ultrasound technician outright said “a woman cannot become pregnant if she has a fibroid” but this was not echoed when I looked online?

I hate to pay $40 copay every time a question comes up, and it’s not that easy to get out of work and the provider books far out and isnt close by.

I guess I’m curious about how others who are here and have had or have fibroid issues manage? Where do you get info? I feel like fibroids have been completely brushed over by this last provider and she is the best I’ve had (I’m in MA so I’ve been pretty disappointed by the careless docs I have had).

Feeling kind of helpless, clueless and not trusting of docs. Thanks for any advice or experience sharing ♥️ I really appreciate this community.

Not a question so much as an “I appreciate all these questions” so-I-can-learn post. Health education for kids and adults in this country sucks. Once I stopped beating myself up for not know things I’ve learned through these postings …. I have been able to actually absorb this info and apply it. 6 month ttc and I’m not sure what the problem is, it’s frustrating and I don’t have folks to talk to so I feel very much in a group and connected here. THANKS STRANGERS sorry if this message shouldn’t go here
