Between a fibroid and a hard place

I've been on this long journey over the past 2 1/2 years. I went from not being ready to get pregnant, panicked about the thought of it, to where I am today which is still recovering emotionally from the loss of my first pregnancy.

Along the way it hasn't been easy, I found out I have a large tumor in my uterus which is called a fibroid. It is benign but they don't really go away on their own. It may be compromising my fertility but the only treatment offered to me was to have major abdominal surgery to have it out which could cause pelvic adhesions which could really compromise my fertility. I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't (I'm beginning to notice that theme in my life...hmmmm...)

My fibroid and I are having our second anniversary this week since we first met. Maybe I'll bake a cake. I have not named my fibroid though I know women who have. And I only have the one, I'm monogamous when it comes to uterine fibroids.

At any rate I've done a lot of research into male and female fertility, hormones, supplements, diet, lifestyle, and a ton about fibroids and other gynecological conditions and I'd like to share with you what I have learned. I do think there is more than one way to skin this cat and I hope you find my research worthwhile.
