How to Save My Fertility Posted: 08-06-05 17:44pm
I just found out I have several abnormally
large fibroids. My gyno says my situation
is abnormal coz I have one fibroid as
large as a cantaloupe, 2 others larger
than a grape fruit and several small ones.
My stomach looks like a 7 month
pregnancy. My right ovary is enlarged to
the size of a female hand fist and it has
some black stuff on it.
My gyno also says there is a 40% chance I
will loose my entire female reproductive
organs. I am only 29 yrs old and have no
children. The idea of not being able to
have my own biological children is sending
me down an emotional treadmill.
At the very worst I would like to be left
with atleast one functioning ovary so I
can use a surrogate. I have tried to ask
if they can induce my one ovary to produce
eggs to be frozen but they said I do not
fit the criteria and they cannot induce
it.
Please give me suggestions on how to save
my fertility. I have been considering
uterine fibroid embolization but i'm
scared of the fact that they have no data
on fertility after the procedure.

I noticed you're in pennsylvania. Could
you get to philadelphia? There is a
fibroid cener at tju that may be able to
help you. Good luck.

See anther gyno, they should be able to
freeze at this point. However, keep in
mind the chance of you not being able to
have your own biological children is only
40% which is a number usually inflated
before they tell you to help you prepare
for the worst.
Don't let it get you down too much...
Nothing is written in stone yet.
