Hi all,
I was diagnosed with fibroids about 3 years ago after noticing a slight hardness in my abdomen, in that time I've gone from having a large number of small ones to a 28-30 week size tummy!
I'm now on the path towards having a myomectomy just waiting for an mri and an apt with the consultant...but...I'm wondering whether to opt for a hysterectomy instead? I'm 29 and i don't have any children. My partner and I can't have children naturally anymore but he has two from a previous relationship who we see on weekends. We don't qualify for any kind of IVF where we live and we simply can't afford to go private. A sperm donor has been thought of as an option, oddly enough by my partner! I'm not sure how I feel about that myself! We've both agreed that we would love to adopt and are looking into it.
So I'm wondering would there be any point in me having a myo? Considering how fast the little blighters have grown in the last 3 years there's a very likely chance that I would have to have another op before I've had a chance to get pregnant!
I've been very lucky considering the size of the 'roids I don't have any bleeding other than my periods which have actually been slowly getting shorter! the pain however is pretty constant, when I sleep, when I bend over, I do a lot of walking in my job and especially when I'm due on, even that hurts! Im of a fairly slim build too so I do look 6-7 Months pregnant, last summer I lived in the thinest jumpers I owned!
I'm getting to the point where I just want them gone! Whether my uterus goes with them i don't know yet. Any advice would be really welcome

I would really consider diet change to slow the growth down. This is more of a long term solution, i do not think they will shrink from the sizze they are, but they will grow slower, mine took about a year to grow while on the diet, and was told the growth was quite slow as some peoples grow within months.
Have you talked to the doc about getting Esmya - these shrunk mine before surgery from 11cm to 7-8cm. You will notice a diffference in the tummy size.
