You should delurk more often.<BR/><BR/>As for the other comments, I do feel that I just need to take things slow and be thankful that I have good health insurance, a great doctor, a wonderful partner and a supportive blogosphere community. I believe that it is meant to be it will be.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274323857430675083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448112009139418658.post-60538964790872342012007-09-07T13:40:00.000-03:002007-09-07T13:40:00.000-03:00Delurking to say, that I know how you feel. Even ...Delurking to say, that I know how you feel. Even though having surgery sucks, it may help. Not saying this is the million dollar answer, but, I had heard from countless people about a sister or cousin or friend who was in our situation and got pregnant after fibroid removal. My partner and I were told by two doctors that my fibroids would not be an issue. After 4 attempts (with 2 day IUIs) we decided to see an RE (excellent doctor and great person). After an MRI, the RE said that the fibroids were indeed preventing me from getting pregnant. I had a myomectomy last September. We could have started trying again in November, but I wanted to give my body more time to heal. We started the whole IUI process again (now with the RE and 1 day IUIs) in January (we took February off because we were away at the time of ovulation) and got pregnant in March. Hope this helps you feel better about having the surgery…Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166261973577537829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448112009139418658.post-81862923042000850872007-09-05T18:57:00.000-03:002007-09-05T18:57:00.000-03:00i started accupuncture after our iui and before st...i started accupuncture after our iui and before starting IVF. i did it cos i wanted to be more wholistic in the treatment i was getting. i found it relaxing and it was something selfish to do just for me..not to mention that an hour a week i just got to be still (very rare when you have an almost 2 yr old). But then i felt the rabbit hole thing. that i was just doing it because there was the promise of it helping fertility. i think it helped me a little bit but i kept going back more from guilt than anything else. now $$ has become a big factor so i can't go back. if i had the money i would do anything and everything that promised fertilty!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448112009139418658.post-14770855337545872282007-09-04T23:52:00.000-03:002007-09-04T23:52:00.000-03:00There were several times I'd be sitting in the wai...There were several times I'd be sitting in the waiting room of my R.E.'s office and think to myself, "Why are we all willing to sit here and wait forever and pay lots of money for the privilege of bloated ovaries, trans-vaginal ultrasounds and the like? Oh yeah, we want babies that much."<BR/><BR/>It is definitely a vulnerable position to be in. I don't think women who have never been there can truly appreciate it. I know many women who got pg "the natural way" without interventions who say things like, "Oh, but I'd never take fertility meds..." and I just want them to shut up. No one knows what they would or wouldn't try until they're there. <BR/><BR/>If acupuncture or reflexology are pleasant and you think they might help, go for it. Why not, right? But I get the fear of falling down the rabbit hole. <BR/><BR/>And yet, there is the hope, too... that maybe this next thing is going to change the outcome. There's no way to know. And that plain sucks.Nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09709961376174590317noreply@blogger.com
