I am 33, and I do have PCOS and Fibroid tumors.

With the exception of horrible menstrual cramps and miscarriages, my cycles have been normal and like clockwork.

I should have my period by now…but this time, I’m getting dark brown blood, just lightly when I wipe…and a small amount of pinkish colored blood.

I also am having dark brown "threads" like you’d see with the small clots, but they’re dark brown (like the old blood at the end of the period) rather than red.

I have had a few small twinges of pain around my right ovary, like ovulation, but I’m due for my period.

If this continues, obviously I’ll go to my doctor, but I just wondered if anyone else had any experience like this…I really don’t believe I could be pregnant, unless ovluation was sooner or later than normal…so I’m just stumped…thanks!

it feels like the size of a jawbreaker, its hard and it is sore. My husband wants me to check it out but I’m not too worried about it. I’m 26 and I’ve had surgery to remove a benign fibroid about 11 years ago. I think it may be the same deal. Should I be worried?

A Relative of mine, she suffers from major depression and I have grown knowing she has got the following illnesses:

Barrats Disease
She’s aneamic
weak immune system
prone constantly to fibroids in womb
gallstones – not yet removed
Multiple allergies
migraines caused by trapped nerve

I don’t know if it’s possible for so much to happen in one person, i’m usually very confused sometimes she is fine, like any other person, but other times she’s tired and ill again

I don’t know what’s what

I have had so many symptoms of pregnancy missed period,nauseous,very moody,changes in my breast,the next months bleeding, i had a pinkish blood and i only spotted for a few days. my stomach feel bigger too. I told my doctor all this he did a blood test and it came back negative. He had me take a mammogram anyway knowing i could be pregnant. I also have large fibroid tumors. If i am, will the large fibroid tumors protect the baby from radiation? My first child i had i never found out till i was 3 and half months pregnant with him. All the test i would have with my son came back negative just like this one. Please can someone help me? I’m so worried!!!
I for got something i think I’m eight weeks far along I had sex DEC 7th of 2008.
Sunshine how far along were you? Your answer makes me feel better.
I had sex on DEC 7th my period was due DEC 18th through 20th missed my period for DEC. In Jan on the 17th my first bleeding was pinkish color. I only spotted for a few days. I did tell my Doctor about my first child my son all my symptoms and how my test would come back negative for months.
Also will my large fibroid tumors shield my unborn child from radiation?

The Dr said at the end of the appt that I have a "ball" in my uterus and it is nothing to worry about, that 40-50% of all women that this. The thing is, I am in France and even though he spoke excellent English he couldn’t think of the word for this ball that in French starts with an "m". He insists it is nothing to worry about so I’m not at all, just curious what it is really called? Not fibroid, not cyst (I asked him all those, he said no), he just kept saying it was "a ball". I didn’t see it on the ultra sound and he didn’t point it out, so it must be something only he would know to look for. If anyone knows that would be great, thanks!
TOTALLY agree about things being different in another country. This is my first so I don’t have a lot to compare it to, but some things have me saying " I have to do what??", like going to a GP before I can see an OB to get a written proof of pregnancy, even though I already had an hour long ultra sound…. confusing ~

I started my period on July 19th and received the Depo shot on July 22nd which was in a 5 day time frame. My doctor said I needed backup birth control for 2 weeks. Their website says I should have protection from pregnancy immediately based on when I received the shot. Should I use backup BC anyway to be on the safe side?
Also, I’ve been bleeding non-stop since July 19th. Is it normal to be bleeding this much? My doctor said I would have some spotting between the time of the 1st injection to the 2nd but I’m not sure if it’s normal to have a flow like a regular period for almost a week, though.
I also have uterine fibroids so I don’t know if they are contributing to the constant bleeding.
Can anyone provide me any information on these questions?
I already have an appt with my doctor again this coming Friday but just looking for information in the meantime. Thank you.
Mia: Was that the entire time you were on Depo or just after your first shot?

Hello,

I recently found out I am pregnant – the 7 home test sticks say so. Because I spotted (brown) at the time when my period would normally come, the doctor sent me for a vaginal ultrasound 2 days ago.

When they did it, I was only 4 weeks 6 days. The sonographer could not see any evidence of a ‘gestional sac’. She said this is normal because it’s quite early.

Is this right?

They took some blood from me that day and again today so they can check changes in my HCGs to determine whether I am having a normal pregnancy or if the spotting is a sign of a problem.

My question is: how early can a vaginal ultrasound successfully show the gestational sac? Is it around 6-7 weeks?

Also, the ultrasound did show that I have four firbroids on my uterus. The sonographer said they are nothing to worry about because they are on the outside of my uterus. However, the printed report says one of them is a pedunculated fibroid. This type sounds scary!

I just want opinions before I go to the doctor tomorrow. I am still somewhat lactating, the milk is slightly leaking, mostly at night. Today I noticed that one breast was painful to the touch and then I noticed a small lump in it. Could it just be a clogged milk duct? I have uterine fibroids, could that have anything to do with it?
This is kind of freaky. Please give me your opinion!

There’s a book titled "fibroid miracle" , but it’s not free, anyone know how to shrink uterine fibroid? and what do you do if pain comes?
