Oh thank goodness, Trudy. (And Kristin too!)
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

Our wings are not tired.
That sounds encouraging, Kristin. I certainly understand the desire to have a follow up scan rather than waiting for huge awful pain.
Yay for the positive update, Trudy. What a horror for all involved.

Oh, yeah, totally. My dad is partially bionic too (knees and an artery or two).

“Not dead yet!”
(anyone have experience with Loestrin 24?), and claims that it should control ovulation more effectively and reduce cysts.
::raises hand::
I've been on some form of Loestrin for about four years now, ever since my ill-advised experiment with the IUD (OMGWTFIUD!)
Anyhow, the Loestrin 21 did a good job for a long time, but then I started realizing I was having really massive, painful horrible periods, which is a result of the funness (NOT) of fibroid tumors. So I've been on 24 for a couple of years, and initially it worked at keeping my periods down to 3-4 days, but the last couple of months, the debilitating cramps and (whitefonted because I realize it's lunchtime for many) excessive bleeding with giant clots have returned.
Anyhow, I need to check with my nurse practitioner-- last time my options were leave them alone and see if they remained stable, attempt to remove them laparoscopically, which would take care of them in the immediate sense, but left a good chance they could redevelop, or a partial hyst.
Not being a fan of surgery, I opted to leave them alone and they've been fine for a couple of years, but I think the time has finally come for me to make a decision. While I haven't had any plans to have any more kids for a while now, it's still a little unnerving, to say the least, to consider such major surgery. Oh, who am I kidding? It makes me want to cry like a little girl and I can't even begin to articulate why. Some writer I am.,

Hugs, Barb. I understand this completely.

Barb, if you want to talk about fibroids, feel free to give me a shout. I've had the laproscopy and the surgery (myomectomy, not a hysterectomy), and I'm happy to share my experiences.
