My Uterus

I found out today that (warning any men who may be reading this. Ha! Right! My own husband doesn't read my blog!) terrible, knock you out, heinous periods that last forever, and then never really go away... not normal.

I went to the gyno last week and described what I thought was my own personal blessing, and she suggested an ultrasound to see if all is well. I had my ultrasound today. (Feeling for you pregos out there- who knew you could get a better picture by using a clever little wand. Hm. That was an experience.)

Truly, I thought that Dr. Levin would say that I am just an annoying, whiny bitch and I needed to woman up. But no. She said I have a fibroid. And in a couple of weeks, I will be getting that little sucker biopsied and then, most likely, getting it all sucked out in an outpatient surgery.

Here's my summary of Dr. Levin's spiel:

1. Fibroids cause terrible periods.
2. Fibroids cause spotting.
3. Fibroids keep you from getting pregnant.
4. Fibroids are an easy to solve problem.

I am not going to WebMD this... since I'm sure I'll find lots of things to scare the poop out of me. It'll be OK. In fact, it will be great!

I could have easier periods, less spotting, and a BABY! That's what I'm going to think, anyway.

Prayers welcome.
