I had a 14lb interuterine fibroid removed sucessfully by a procedure called a myomectomy - it IS possible... Your case makes me VERY angry that doctors still get away with this! I currently have another fibriod growing (8yrs post op...) I am no longer on any hormones... It has stayed at 2.5cm in diameter for 2 years now :o) When it reaches 5cm my surgeon is going to laser it out! I am so sorry for you - put please keep spreading the word.. fibroids should come out sooner rather than later! Please go back to that first doctor that told you the pill would stop them growing… it WONT… it WILL MAKE THEM LARGER!

I'm really sorry you had to go through all that. Counting your blessings is, I think, even better medicine than laughter. Everybody gets their own stuff they have to deal with, and if you look around you can always see someone who has a bigger problem. I waited to start a family as well. When I was 25, my doctor asked me if I was considering having children. He said that the best years, fertility wise, were between 16 and 24. I told him that those were not the best years to raise children. When I was ready, at 27, I had no problem conceiving. Your situation is something I never had to experience, although I have several friends who have, so I can really feel for you. My thorn in the flesh is Parkinson's disease. Counting my blessings is more important than ever. I have 2 healthy teenage girls, and a husband who is supportive - most of the time. I have written a whole bunch of articles on the subject of perspective. Wow – that was an awful experience. I’m really sorry you had to go through all that.

However please don't give up on having a baby. You could do so through a surrogate. Many people in your exact situation have done just that. <br /> <br /> I have fibroids and I am working on trying to shrink them...I'm chronicling my journey here:<br /> www.shrinkingfibroids.blogspot.com I’m so sorry to hear about your story.
