So i have had horrible pains and heavy bleeding for a few years now after i got my tubes tied. My dr kept telling me it was probably cysts because i have a history of cysts on my ovaries. Well i got a new dr and he did an ultrasound and seen i have a huge fibroid in my uterus. Now i have to go to a specialist and talk about my surgery options. Can anyone tell me what there recovery time was and if the different aproaches you can take to removing the fibroid? I have 4 kids and my husband works all day and i dont have friends or family to come help me so i want to make sure i try for the minimally invasive procedure if there is one.
