Mixed Emotions
Had my pre-op visit today for my January 9th TVH and I'm more confused than ever. Because I've been on Lupron for 4 mos. I haven't bled since October - after having bled heavily for 5 mos. straight. My doctor asked me if I wanted to wait and see. Although my initial reaction was that I want to get this over with, I'm starting to think if I'm doing the right thing. My BP was high today (never has been before). I hope it's just the anxiety. Feel like I need a good cry right now.

I think most of us have been in that same spot before our surgery! I know I did lots of "what-if" thinking. Only you can make this decision, but please lean on everyone here. Ask your questions, tell us your concerns and browse through all the info here.

Pre-op?
I was on Lupron for 6 months. The fibroids shrunk and the massive bleeding stopped. The Lupron wore off about 5 weeks after the last shot. I got a period that was a GREAT reminder about why I had to have a hyst. It was a gusher. This is my experience. Yours may be completely different.
I'll be 15 weeks Post-op on Friday. I don't think I was ready to accept the hyst a few years ago when my problems started. But, now, in retrospect, it's one of the best things I've done!
I'm sure you'll make the right decision for you. Take care.

Thank you Intune and Not-2-Brave for sharing and for your support. It was great to hear from someone with similar experiences. When my DH came home from work, he reminded me what I've been through and convinced me that I'm doing the right thing.... so I'll be going forward with it.

While you're waiting for the 9th to come, there's a wealth of information at this site. Be sure to make a list of questions for your dr. to ask before the surgery too.
