Never mind, at least I am well.....
So by way as a quick update since I last posted I suppose the following things have happened:
My Periods
My next period started on the 21st October and lasted a huge 5 days with one day of minor spotting. No pain, and only a tiny bit of clotting which was great. By this time I was back at work (started a new contract the week before so I was glad that I was spared the horrendousness that was my last period. My next period started on the 20th November and lasted 6 days with the final day of that being spotting. I feel like I am getting back to my normal pre-fibroid self so far as period length, flow and pain goes and I can't tell you how happy I am about that. Again I had minimal pain, heavy flow on CD2 and the rest of the cycle went without incident. I still double up on sanitary protection though - it will take a while for me to feel confident not to after years of conditioning myself to that behavior.
My next period is due on 22nd December. Yaaaay, just in time for Christmas - that will be fun...! NOT!!!!
