Hi Kelly --- I have one son and can't have anymore children. But I'm fine wiht that considering my age. In fact, my son was a miracle. I had my first gynecological surgery (myomectomy) in Jan. 1996 to remove 5 fibroids. Then, had my son 1 year and 12 days later via c-section. Then this past August had a myo thinking it was fibroids but it was a BENIGN pelvic tumor. Now, after about 9 mos. I feel the adhesions. The dr did get rid of some during that surgery. But I feel them still and know that I have to face more surgery in the future. I don't know if it will be a hysterectomy or not. Now I wish I did.
