5 months after my fibroids surgery

It has been 4 months since my surgery, to the glory of God I must confess that I am strong and have resumed all activities. I started going on a jog. My periods are also regular, every 26 days.

However I still experience light , tiny winny pain during my periods, and some days it gets really bad, but nothing that pain killers cant help with.
I still cannot lie faced up, or get up facing upwards. And I still see clots when my periods come, however they are like strands, and very few tiny lumps, which my friend Mina says its normal, she is 10 months post surgery. So I guess it is normal.

My scar has healed nicely, some days it itches me so bad i feel like opening up the stitch to get a good scratch, because it feels as if the itch comes from the inside, when I itch the outside, its not that effective, feels like I am itching the wrong place.

I read an article that said you can start TTC after 3 months, a professor said it was safe and Ok, as during your first 3 months your wound should have healed. (Follow the one your doctor advised you)  So now I have started TTC, and trusting God for our miracle little one. Oh yeah sex is better, however the key is go easy, because I engaged in one move that made me feel as if I broke a bone in my vagina( Swear down I thought there was a broken bone there, not that I know if the vagina has bones).

Stay blessed.

Myomectomy surgery, and my faith

Image
I was 26 years old when I found out that I had fibroids. I am African American. I have had heavy periods with clots for 3years but when I went to my GP, the nurse dismissed it as anemia and probably my change in diet. In 2012 after uni, I decided to have the contraceptive implant under my arm so I could focus on my education to become a lawyer. Whilst I was in law school, I did not have a period for 6 months, but on the 7 th month I had a very heavy clot so much that it weighed down my knickers, as big as an orange that came out, I was scared and ran to d GP and he thought I was having a miscarriage, and I thought that the contraceptive had failed me. But after a pregnancy test I was not, and then the doctor spoke to me about Fibroids, which I dismissed because all the people I knew that had Myomectomy where in their late or early 40s so I dismissed it. In November 2013 after I was called to the bar (became a solicitor and advocate) I had taken out the implant in October bec...

Post Myomectomy

Image
Post myomectomy operation, I will advice that you stick to the doctor’s advice, do all he tells you even if your body feels otherwise. I spent 3 days in the hospital and when I came home, having OCD, I unpacked my bags myself, and put things away. I also took very short walks, from the house to the gate, as the doctor told me to exercise my calf muscles. On my day 2 at home, I made lunch, and also swept my house from kitchen to bathroom, lounge and bedroom, as I was bored, and also because I feel no one can clean to my taste. I did not feel any pain, and I could bend, although I could not stand up right. A week later, I removed the stitches, and then the pay back began. First of all it was so painful taking off the plaster as my pubic hair had grown a bit. (Rub a lot of baby oil on all sides of the plaster before you go to have it removed) when the thread was taken off, it was as if the pain had been released. I could not walk upright again; I was in so much pain, had swellings ...

FOLIC ACID REVIEW

I started taking folic acid about 3 weeks ago, excited about it, and feeling very prepared for my journey; all of a sudden I started having pimples very tiny ones like rash on my forehead .  I started using my Italian towel, but to no avail.  It still kept coming up fresh every day and multiplying. I had to sit back and think about what new stuff I have introduced to my system. I then pinned it down to the folic acid. I browsed about it, and I found out that most people complained that they did have acne from taking the folic acid. It has been 3 days since I stopped taking it, and I can see the pimples is suppressing on its own. My husband explained to me that the dosage maybe very high. My dearest friend Mina, did suggest that I take pregnacare in prepration, for conception, as it also has all the nutrients I need from conception, and pregnancy.  So I think that I will start that by the end of the month. A pharmacist did explain to me that in pregnacare the amou...
