Alright friends,
Imagine my shock when I woke up a couple of hours after when I thought I would to my doctor telling me she removed at least SIXTY intramural fibroids (she said she stopped counting after that) and left one because removing it would jeopardize a tube and since we wanted to preserve fertility, the cost was more than the benefit. I am one week post open myomectomy and I’m feeling pretty good, so I am super happy about that but I am still a bit in shock at the number.
I think I was a bit of a rare case because I had very few symptoms, no menstrual cramps, no irregular periods, just a strange feeling of malaise accompanied by feeling a lump in my midsection that led me to discover 13 fibroids via MRI. I kept that number in my head as a “oh it’s just..”, but definitely wasn’t prepared for 60.
Thankfully, recovery is going relatively well, my period started last night and I have a headache but I think that may be the height of my concerns right now. I’m glad that’s over and I’m looking forward to shopping for crop tops to wear after I heal because I’m almost certain the removal of 60 of those bad boys is gonna have my waist invisible and I want to show it off and not be asked if I’m pregnant. LMAO.
