Fibriod, 32 yrs old, TTC, help im scared

After years of telling doctors what my periods are like (2 weeks of PMS and horrible cramps) they finally did a vaginal/pelvic ultrasound and found a fibroid in the front uterine wall. It is 1.7 x 1 cm.

The things I'm reading are so scary. I don't have any kids and I definitely want one. I TTC'ed for about 5 months this year with no luck. I'm 32 1/2 and feel like my biological clock is running out fast.

Does anyone know if a fibroid within the uterine wall can be removed (myomectomy)?

I have an appointment with a gyno...who is a D.O. and not an M.D. I did a little research on this and it seemed like the DO was fine.

What is the doctor likely to do? If it is operable will I have to take hormones before the surgery.

Any help would be tremendously appreciated. I feel so alone. My appointment is in 7 days, which I know is a short time but I really wish that there was someone who could help.

The receptionist on the phone at my internal medicine doctor basically said "honey, if they aren't outside the uterus they can't operate unless its a hysterectomy." Which of course sends me on a downward spiral. I know I shouldn't be listening to her as she isn't a doctor.

I'm trying to have hope.
