So, I went to the gyno today, mainly to ask questions about getting of birth control in hopes of TTC in the near future. During the breast exam the dr. says I have fibroid cysts. I was so concentrated on the whole birth control issue that I forgot to ask about these cysts…so can anyone tell me more? I know this isn’t really related to TTC, but I am only 25 and I don’t want anything lumpy in my boobs!! Thanks for your input!
Well, I called the dr. after about an hour of worry. She said what she felt was normal…could be due to caffeine intake, pre-period symptoms, or stress. She also said it is important to know how they feel so I can tell the difference between what is normal and what is not. Thanks for your input.

Last night i got in to an argument with my husband we haven’t had sex in over 2 weeks and I feel I should be caressed and with a lil affectionate except he doesn’t why > I ask myself well he confessed he’s been masturbating, no wonder I’m not worth it I probably ain’t nagging at him like his hand, whatever. The point here is that on top of the reason that I mentioned before about being in the mood hasn’t been on point because he passes major gas and it’s a huge turn off I really don’t feel like doing anything with him. I also have uterine fibroids that get painful but I still want him, He’s not considerate of that though sometimes I force myself to have sex with him with out being warmed up just to make him happy, either way I feel like he betrayed me with just his hands it hurts me. I’m running around with kids , I have school and work as well and so does he and I understand if he’s tired . Yesterday I slept on the floor in another room and when my kids woke up this morning he said hey hey wake up moving me with his foot your kids are up , get up before they start asking questions. I felt like a hooker or something that was being thrown out. I left all day todayy with my kids to the museum and he didn’t say one word to me. Sex is that important that would cause a fight wow , Just goes to show that are marriage is crap and we can sustain any problem instead of him giving me a rub down he wants me to just drop my panties and suck him up that’s bull. Can I get ur opinion nion guys and girls thanks

I keep getting recurrent bacterial vaganosis. I DO not have mutiple sex partners, I DO NOT douche or wear sprays, and I don’t have an std. I was married and with the same man for 5 years, still got it. Now I have been with my boyfriend for almost a year and get it after almost every period. Could my period be causing it> I am very clean. Inwas diagnosed with fibroid tumors in my uterus but I don’t think that’s it. I hate having to go pay an arm and a leg every month or two for a non insurance doc visit and then take flagyl. What could be causing this over and over and I need something to get rid of it forever. It’s embarassing!!! ONLY symptom I have is that weird smell and discharge…YUCK.

Okay, so I have just found that I have two enlarged fibroid. I’m only 27 and my doctor says I should I get them remove because I am way too young since they will get bigger. I am getting scared because I am planning on having kids in the next year or so, and I’m afraid they might make me infertile. Is the risk of infertility really high? I’m getting really depressed over this. Please help!!!!!

and I need to go back in 2 weeks for more tests. I have had a lot of pain during periods so much I am puking and the bleeding is very heavy when I have my period. I am concerned as I buried my mother when I was 24 after she died of cancer. I am nervous I have 3 kids. Does anyone know what tests may be done when I go back in 2 weeks?

So I was wondering what could cause my stomach to be constantly bloated and feel hard. I look pregnant, however I have been having my withdrawal periods each month and have had negative hpts and a negative blood test. When I do a "sit-up" I have a round EXTREMELY hard ball right in the middle of my stomach that extends from below my belly button to a inch and a half or so above my belly button. What could this be? I have been to the doctors many times since getting the blood test (which would have been at 10 weeks pregnant if I were pregnant, but she says I’m not, and I don’t want to be!) and she has felt my stomach when I am lying on my back and says I am not pregnant but I only noticed the hard ball in my stomach when getting out of bed today so I haven’t asked about that. Could this be my uterus? Could I have fibroids? Please help, I hope I’m not pregant:[
Also I forgot to note that when I went in to have the blood test it was June something or other so I would be somewhere around 5 or 6 months pregnant at this point which is why I’m considering the tests were wrong considering the fact that I look 5 to 6 months pregnant from the bloating–but I found this ball so I’m wondering if it isn’t bloating but the 10 week blood test and hpts were wrong.

I am a fifty-four year old, post menopausal mother of two. The first time I had my mystery pain I was in my late thirties and there was a several year gap following that first occurrence. The pain is a hot stabbing pain I assumed on or by the right ovary. It was often triggered by exercise but rarely occurred more than once a year. Then, about six years ago suddenly the pain started to happen more frequently, often triggered by brisk walking usually uphill.

When the attacks would happen I’d have to stand still or lie down for several minutes until the attack passed and if I tried to move during that period of time it would make it worse. As time has gone by, it started happening after every orgasm. Then it grew to during some bowel movements as well, then it began to happen right before the orgasm. As well, I’ve had it very occasionally happen in which I am doing nothing and it just suddenly occurs.

This past Monday, my dad passed away quite suddenly and the moment I began to sob that as well triggered an attack.

I have been to numerous doctors to try and figure out what this is with no answers. I have had internal camera that showed nothing, ultra sound in which every looked fine, cat scan that showed nothing, colonoscopy that gave no answers. My first gynecologist, a male, said I had a fibroid and dismissed it as nothing. When I moved to a female, she said that the fibroid was not sitting on the right ovary and therefore was not a reason for the pain.

Every doctor I have been to either dismisses what I say or their tests show nothing. I know I’m not insane, my children and husband have witnessed the attacks and been afraid by the visible pain that I was in. The only reason I have never gone to the ER is that the attacks only last five minutes and by the time I would even get there, the pain would be gone and I did not want to be dismissed by another doctor.

This pain is heavily affecting my life and my marriage as it is hard to be unable to have sex with my own husband, to take a healthy walk without being afraid of getting an attack, and to be afraid to even have a bowel movement.

Any answers or similar situations would be greatly appreciated because my doctors don’t listen to what I say and I no longer know what to do. I’d love even suggestions of what kind of doctor to see because everywhere I’ve gone they tell me I appear normal and something is definitely wrong.
The doctors have confirmed that it is not caused by the fibroid for me.

I have fibroids on my uterus and have been told I should have a partial hysterectomy. The procedure would be performed vaginally. I am very much looking forward to it!!! I am in pain everyday, the fibroids are up against my bladder and the frequent periods with heavy bleeding and cramping are driving me crazy!!! I want to know realistically, will I be able to go back to work in a week? I am in almost constant pain. I had a c-section 20 yrs ago and I keep hearing its about the same recovery. Is that realistic? I’m 38 and not in the best physical shape…

It’s been on for 11days…it has always been irregular missing 2 3 months at a time. Doctors said it could normal for me since other than an irregular period i was healthy. After I had my daughter in 2008 I had an depo shot and my period came on the day after. Six months later it came on again the doctor said it could be from being pregnant and got my second depo I had missed previous shot and the shots after this one. I didnt bleed again until earlier this year I was spotting very lightly. A few months a ago a got a shot and my period been on for 11days. I barely slept and eat and dont get enough fluids. I havent been bleeding heavy or light its been in between, also fibroid tumors kinda runs in my family
