So, after a year of being uncomfortable with the knowledge that I have this fibroid, I am finally doing something about it. Granted, it may be the early stages of planning for its removal but at least the ball is rolling. I contacted the internal coordinator this morning and this afternoon I have a doctor willing to see me at Brigham & Women's on Oct 5th. I'm trying to get in on the 2nd (I am supposed to fly home on the 5th) but I'll change my flight back if necessary. I have to do a pelvic MRI before hand and my doctor has managed to schedule me for one on Sept 28th!
So now I just need to see if I can proceed with treatment sooner or later - and I'll know that sometime next week after Monday's beta. Aidan and I had a short conversation about it and we may therefore do round two of IVF (if necessary) in a year.....

First off - LOL at the tempurpedic mattress comment! I have one too, and all other mattresses now feel like I'm sleeping on a trampoline. Not good. I actually tried to find places to stay when I go to the far away clinic with a tempurpedic - but no such luck.
And I can't believe you are already planning the next IVF before you get the beta back for this one. What gives? Is your body telling you something we don't know - cause I'm still feeling optimistic for you. You had a great cycle and transferred blasts. Keep a little hope in your heart.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for the both of us until Monday!
No, I just wanted a plan in place before we tested. If it is negative, I know I'll be a mess so having a contingency in place allows things to proceed without much thought. That said, I go back and forth between feeling that this cycle will be successful or not. I'm finding it hard to keep positive...
Good for you for moving forward with removing the fibroid. A plan B is good - as you say, it's a safety net. But I am crossing everything in hopes that you won't need it - unless you'd like a second or third child! ;-)
