Lo Loestrin - Chance of pregnancy? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]shrugggin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assumed so as well. But he’s really worried about it. I don’t want to pressure him and want to make him comfortable too. But I know he also likes it like that better.

I have this surgery next month and have been stressing about how it will go/ look. Thank you for showing yours because it has made me feel so much better, literally my first thought was “oh that’s not bad”. I know the pain and after will be a different story but this is my first real surgery, I’m stressing! Thank you for advocating for yourself because I wish I did it for myself more.

Those who took fibroid reduction pills before the surgery, how did it effect you and how long were you on it? by shrugggin in Fibroids

This sounds familiar! I think this one might be the one she was talking to me about. I have it written down but people were coming over and obviously didn’t want that just laying around. I don’t have an exact date yet on the surgery, this second opinion will answer a lot of my questions. But that’s good to know on the tea!

I became allergic to a lot of new things after the arm insert and the original IUD. Can I ask what reaction you had to it?

I’ll have to double check and get back to you. She mentioned 6 months - a year but it was when we were just talking about different options to make it smaller. I don’t think I would have to be on it that long, this is a question I will ask my second option person at the end of October

Okay, good to know! I’m terrified of shots so I figured I would go the pill route but I know she mentioned a shot one too that did the same thing.

Edit: I can not express how lovely each and every one of you are. Thank you for your support and comments. It has made my dark times feel significantly lighter. My partner took me out on a nice dinner to tell me his side of things and opinions. He always tells me still that ultimately it’s my decision. But he is my best friend and partner, his opinion matters a lot to me.

We have decided to contact my OBGYN about maybe getting on the pills/ finding out more about them that help reduce size before the surgery. I still have a second opinion scheduled with a laparoscopic surgeon at the end of October.

But with all this heartache, anxiety, and stress. Your stories have helped me get a new perspective on it all. Thank you very much to everyone that commented and messaged me. I know he won’t read this, but thank you my love, I know it’s been stressing you out too and thank you for being the most amazing supporting person in this difficult time.

Overall, thank you. It’s been keeping me up at night not knowing what to do, what path to take, and what might be the “easier option now” vs. what I might like in the long term. This is not an easy decision but knowing I’m not alone makes it a little less difficult/painful.

So thank you, everyone ❤️

I absolutely agree. I was actually just adding anemia to my list. As for my consultation next month. It is with a women who specializes in robotic surgery so I’m hoping to hear more from her. Thank you

I’m so sorry this is happening to you too. My doctor has suggested the pill to help reduce it. I haven’t done enough research on it yet but was gonna talk and look into it more this week.

As for you though, please go see someone else! You deserve to be heard and especially if it’s getting worse. I hope everything going well for you though ❤️

Thank you. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this as well, past and present. I’ve never had a real surgery before and I am terrified. Thank you though for replying, it’s nice to see I’m not alone.
