Surgery fast approaching

Hi my surgery date is fast approaching and I am getting nervous. I have noticed I am having more pain and intermittent bleeding the past few days. Is that normal?? any help/pointers you can give will be welcome

Hi! I have been living with fibroids and heavy periods for years and as I get closer to my surgery date I've noticed my periods are getting closer and I am experiencing more pain. I don't know if this is the reason for your surgery, but with the increased symptoms I feel even more justified to have the surgery. (Jan 15 '08) I wish you all the best!!!

My surgery is the day before yours and I am having similar symptoms. I will be watching to see what responses you get to your question. I have been using a heating pad for the pain since I was told that I couldn't use advil until after surgery now. Are you "nesting" too?? I have been having the need to get organized, do all my Christmas shopping, and clean the house...I guess it's all because of nerves.

OMG I thought I was the only one with pain and more bleeding. I am going to have a TAH possible BSO. thanks for replying...wish you the best.

I had a TVH on Novmeber 19th and feel 100 times better than I did before surgery. The surgery was really not very painful at all. When you have all that pain and bleeding, just remember that after your surgery you will never have to deal with it again!!!! Good luck to all of you.

This friday is my day, and I also am more bleeding and lots of clots. Can't wait to have it done.

This is to weird, I thought for sure that my uterus knows that I am getting rid of everything and it is attacking me. I have been bleeding since I had my biopsy and then I started on Thursday, heavier than I have ever had and I cannot stand my back. Tylenol is not working and I have been using a heating pad. I was telling the girls at work that this solidifies that I am making the right move. I went to my pre op workup today and pre registration. 10 days to go and looking forward to it.

Gina -

I am getting ready to start my period (for the LAST time - yahooo) and thought my pre-mens symptoms seemed worse than ever! Maybe it is nerves, etc. I also bleed longer than I thought I would after my biopsy - had one several years and barely bleed - this time it was a mini-period!

This time in 3 weeks I will be laying in the Castle post-op! I am nervous but know it is the right decision. Pre-op appointment is tomorrow morning.

PS - noticed your name included Scorpio - I am also a Scorpio (B-day is 10/31/66)

QueenTut 11/12/61 I have so much work I need to concentrate on and I just can't because I have never cramped this long.....having a hard time. Good luck at your pre-op drink water so you can be ready to pee in the cup.

My surgery is Thursday and even though I haven't had a period for 4 months(due to the depo shot) I still am having pain. It feels like I could start anytime and then the last time my DH and I were intimate it hurt.
I just want this to be done and over with!
