While you were contending with pee-sticks and fibroids, I was being diagnosed, cut, pasted and intoxified due to breast cancer. Having your body do things that you know are possible, but that you didn’t want to have to deal with isn’t any fun, is it? For what it’s worth, now that they know there are fibroids there… maybe the pokey procedures will clear the way for a perfect little McYarnPants… if that’s what you want. My mother told me (in the way that only she could) that “the whole time ‘we’ were pregnant we didn’t know if we’d get you or a tumor…..” I don’t recommend telling it quite that way (because she usually told me that when I’d been obnoxious, or just childlike, and it sounded like she’d have preferred the tumor…) anyway.. I’m glad you are back and that I checked up on you. Best wishes.

It’s so wierd. SOOO many people have miscarriages, and no one ever talks about them. I even think there are MORE miscarriages than sucessful pregnancies!!! Sometimes it seems that way, anyway. Having a healthy baby is TRULY a miracle. With the fabulous attitude YOU have though, I’m sure everything will work out! Hold on to that, it’s GOLD!

Sorry to hear things aren’t going as planned, but at least you get lots more practice trying to get preggers. Best of Luck!

Long-time lurker and first-time poster … I feel a little superfluous adding in at this point, but just thought I would tell you how much it meant to me to read your entry the other day because I just m/c’d about the same time a couple weeks ago. Even though I have heard all the same statistics, it can seem like no one else is going through it when you are in the middle of it. So thanks and I hope things are starting to look up for you!

Hey, Stitchy, hope you are OK, well as OK as you can be in this situation, cos we haven’t heard from you for a while. Fibroids are awful common – more women have them than don’t, particularly after 30-35….

Hey, so sorry to hear about all this. I hope you’re feeling better.
As far as the fibroid surgery, I had it done in November. It was done through the stomach, and it wasn’t fun, but wasn’t awful either. Good luck.
BTW, you are one of the best writers out there, on any subject. No kidding.

Youd on’t know me but I feel like I know you. I’m not a big one for leaving comments but I miss you and thought I’d let you know.
Hope you are feeling better and the pokey things are now leaving you alone.

After 101 comments, I don’t think there’s much else I can say that hasn’t already been said but – I’ve miscarried before and it sucks. And, frankly, medical procedures suck too. I’m glad you’ve got such a good friend and supportive Jon.

Take care, hon.

Good luck with everything! I’ve had a fibroid related miscarriage and I belive I’ve gotten pregnant a few times, but my biggest fibroid was the size of an orange. I just had all the fibroids removed in October of last year, now we are working on baby.

I’ll be sending grand thoughts your way.
