Hey hgirs, I can imagine the waiting period is hell, but you can do it ! Christmas will be a good distraction for you. Sending lots of positive vibes your way and big belly rubs for your bubba.
My fibroid was already big before I got pregnant, but it got really agro when the uterus started expanding. Blood supply got cut off, and the firboid started degenerating ( dying ) and it all went downhill from there. My OB was really shocked that this was the outcome as he didn't think the firboid was going to be a problem that early in my pregnancy. He doesn't want to leave anything to chance so he's gonna remove it.

MrsRobbo, thanks for your extra sprinkling of baby dust ! Let's hope 2009 is our year.

dd0207, thanks so much for your lovely thoughts and wishes. You'll probably be hearing lots from me when I'm sore and feeling sorry for myself when I'm off for 6 weeks post opp. ( sorry in advance !! ). I'd love to ride the tsunami of BFP wave with you all !

Love and hugs
Beata.
