Don't know What to Say

So in my last post, I mentioned that I was having a test that would determine if I had a fibroid.... And of course I do. It was not a real suprise to me, I knew SOMETHING had to be going on, judging by how bad my periods had become. In a way, I'm sort of relieved that it is a fibroid and not something more serious.
SO.... I will be having surgery to remove the fibroid on 11/12. The good thing is that Dr Forstein said that he would try to repair the blocked tube while he's in there, NO OTHER doctor has even hinted at the thought of doing that. The unfortunate side of all of this is that the fibroid that is in my uterus is growing from the outer all to the inner, where as most fiboids are either located on the outer or inner wall. Leave it to me to have something different. If they cannot get it with the scope, I will have to have a caesarean cut which I absolutely don't want, so be in prayer for your girl!
We were not happy about the news, it was a bit of a shock and I cried like a baby during and after the exam. While I have done tons of research and have made my peace with this, Cory on the other hand is not happy about the thought of surgery. He was cool with everything until surgery was mentioned. He doesn't like the idea and he thinks its a bit exploratory since Dr Forstein cannot say for certain if the fibroid is what caused the previous miscarriages. Dr Forstein DID say that the fibroid does makes future pregnancies tougher. I think that has given Cory a bit of comfort but not much...
So 11/12 it is. Not the best news to report but I'm looking forward to the possibilities afterwards!
