It's Been A While

Well this blog has been somewhat neglected as I thought my fibroid days were long gone.  And luckily after enlisting the services of a personal trainer for 6 months my abs actually started to look like a normal human beings again. So the op was in Dec 2009 and to get back to full fitness was a big challenge.  

To me I thought 5 years would be a good window to hopefully meet someone, have a kid and not have to face the fibroid thing again.  But the odds are worse in black women so now in 2013 my stomach is starting to have that familiar rotund look, I am starting to feel very very shattered and my periods are getting heavy again. :(. I know they are back and have a blood test next week and am in the process of being set up for a scan to see what is going on in there.

Once confirmed, I guess it's the conundrum of take pills to mask the symptoms as the fibroids continue to grow or go through the pain of another op.  I guess removing them when they are relatively small as opposed to when they have grown would be better but having to think about what to do next is scary. Anyway, for now I won't worry but wait for a diagnosis then face the conundrum when I have to.  It's my body, I am single but would like to have the option of having a child but not have periods that are a nightmare and a swollen stomach.
