Went back for a TVU scan and the access as halved in size but my uterus is the size of a 4month pregnancy. I have been started on Zoladex implants for 3 months to help shrink this and possibly have surgery to remone one ovary,fallopian tube and my uterus, not had any side effects as of yet, just wnanted to know if there is anybody out there who has had similar and will i gat ant side effects.

I reached out to the other Nicola last night but since then I've read that you are having your operation in February. I'm about to start taking Zoladex to try and shrink my huge fibroids prior to surgery. I was just wondering if your fibroids shrunk at all with the Zoladex and if you mind sharing. Thanks. Angela. xx

I have had two zolodex implants and have not suffered too badly with side effects. I do get flushes and am less patient than normal but it is better than the bleeding and uncomfortable pressure I had before.
I haven't seen a doctor since I have had the zolodex but I'm feeling less pressure on my bladder so I think it must be working a bit.
Make sure you get the Emla cream to put on before you get your implant.
Hope this helps

Started packing my bag last night- eek. Am hoping not to have picked up the cold that the rest of my family have at the moment otherwise I will be postponed...
I am having an abdominal hysterectomy as the fibroids are so big, not ideal but they are hoping my wound will be similar to my c section scar. Will let you know how it goes...

Just read your thread. It's all quite nerve racking not knowing what to expect. All of the women I've spoken to who have had a hysterecomy because of fibroids have said that they feel better than they did before the hysterectomy. Some of them have said its the best thing they've ever done. I wanted nothing but a myomectomy to begin with but based on the feedback I've been getting I am slightly in 2 minds now. I hope you are okay. I hope your operation goes to perfection and you recovery is smooth. I will be thining of you on the 2nd. Take care of you
