i am REALLY second-guessing myself
i have been a little short with family and stressed because of impending decision. i must say that i still don't have closure yet and this concerns me because one of the worst things i want to do is have regrets after the fact, or even going into it. i know how you approach it has a lot to do with the recovery. how will i know i have peace with my decision and is it normal to feel this way? i am REALLY second-guessing myself and am so afraid to make a rush decision. i did this with my tubal ligation some ten years back and had some regrets that i did it so soon (after birth of my daughter at age 26). any one else having this dilemna?

Bj,
BJ,
Do you have any other options?
The way I deal with it is knowing I don't have another viable option. I can continue to suffer or get this done.
Hang in there,
Kara

i am REALLY second-guessing myself
i do have an option for myomectomy, but the smaller fibroids (2) would not be able to be removed (he said he would not even bother trying to remove them - maybe because of risk sake). i have heard so many people having failed myomectomies and the idea of an embolization where they burn lining does not sound appealing to me. i would prefer something definitive, like LAVH, but it is like you do not know how it will affect you personally healthwise until you are on the other side of the surgery.
i don't have a lot of complications from fibroids, just enough to warrant attention from time to time and most importantly i want to give my anemia a chance to heal itself and relieve the suspected pressure i feel in my lower pelvis and rectum from my tilted uterus. i don't think a myomectomy will take care of everything, so definitely torn in decision.
