Experiences with

Myomectomy

I had open myomectomy to remove fibroids and then got diagnosed with scar adhesions, endometriosis, adenomyosis and now pyosalphinx. The pyosalpinx cannot be an STD so I’m assuming that t was caused by an mfr toon after surgery. I had issues from 6 weeks

But it’s not a minor procedure - the consultant said it would be an open myomectomy - pretty much a C section. I’m so torn about what to do.

That's on top of many tests, treatments, 2 attempts at myomectomy (the first one resulted in anaphylaxis and led to no longer being allowed to have egg collections under anaesthetic), hysteroscopy, cancelled cycles due to under/overstimulation...

I started a year and a half ago because I had my second myomectomy, 1st one was at the age of 30—and my surgeon recommend that if I would like to have a baby to see about fertility treatments. It's been a rollercoaster of a ride. I found out I had low AMH etc etc.

Hi, I am 53 and had an open myomectomy 13 weeks ago for fibroids. The deep pelvic pain, bladder issues have returned. I had a follow up a few weeks ago with my consultant who without examining me said it’s a uro gynae issue, so I’ve been referred snd he has closed my case.

Has anyone had a myomectomy before? What was your experience like, and did you end up being able to conceive? We have been using donor eggs which we hope will also increase our chances.

My consultant is happy to undertake embryo transfer three months after my open myomectomy provided there are no complications.

I have done laparoscopic surgery and myomectomy to remove the fibroid but it was unsuccessful as the fibroid is mostly hidden in the lining. Has any got any success stories and got pregnant with fibroids? It’s my last chance and I think I’ve done everything I know to increase my chances.

hi, I have just had a laparoscopic myomectomy. Would it be better to wear loose clothing to avoid pressure or leggings to avoid the bloods clots?

Now awaiting MRI scan and myomectomy before I transfer one of my three day 3 embryos. Which at my age of 43, I find hard to believe will work. The embryos transferred in April were day 5s 4cc and 3bb. Will also be seen in clinic for thrombophilia screen before any planned transfers in the future.

I have a large posterior subserosal fibroid but hysteroscopy was normal so didn’t require a myomectomy. Had a mock embryo transfer last month which was ok. Due to start progesterone suppositories tomorrow and also steroids. My clinic don’t believe nor do they offer the ERA test.

I am on the waiting list for myomectomy.I was wondering if someone has had a myomectomy and how successful it was.

So, I am 44 with only one remaining ovary and no fallopian tubes, due to endometriosis, 3 open myomectomy surgeries, two open hernia surgeries and one surgery to remove a blocked fallopian tube that turned out that it was fused with one of my ovaries and had to be removed. 4 of the above surgeries all

I am 43, no PCOS, FSH of 5, AFC of 37 and AMH at 41 was 29pmol and this cycle was my first cycle 6 months post myomectomy and at my age I really hoped it was going to be my last prior to fixing other things and before doing embryo transfers.

I started Prostap3 end of Jan with Myomectomy booked for May. I have a subscerosal Fibroid measuring 20cm! The Prostap has worked wonders in shrinking the Fibroid although after 7 weeks all the menopause symptoms have disappeared and the fibroid is back.

I had a laparoscopic myomectomy in August to remove endometriosis and fibroids. My gynae consultant who did the surgery was going to remove the tube but said it looked fine during surgery so he left it.

I’m down to have a myomectomy in the next few weeks and from my MRI results they’ve also noticed that I have Endemetriosis. Can it get any worse?

I had myomectomy to remove large fibroid but was told the position of it was such that it was unlikely to be cause of infertility. Had all my tubes etc checked with dye and all fine.

I am having a myomectomy (keyhole using robotics) to remove a 7cm fibroid. Does anyone know what the recovery is like? I’ve been told 3-4 weeks.
