Kg,
I had to calm down, before I replied.
Please, please, please get a 2nd opinion. Then a 3rd.
And do not under any circumstances let than man fiddle about with your ovaries.
I'm 47, last year (when I was 46) I had one ovary removed after being told I wouldn't go into menopause. 36 hours after the surgery, bam ... I was hit by eveything. It has ruined my life.
I too was on the minipill. I'm now on HRT and ADs. I'm about to add anti anxiety meds. I've put on 2 stones (after working hard a few years ago to lose 3). I struggle to drive. I don't want to leave the house. In fact, I dont want to leave my bed. I lost my job a week ago.
Good on you for coming here and getting advice. I wish I had done the same.
Surely the fibroid can be removed vaginally. Ok, you may need a general anaesthetic. But babies heads are bigger than that ??!!
Don't rush into anything, and don't be pressured into doing anything you don't think is right for you.
Best, Pants.
