Uterine size

[Guest guest]

:

Perhaps someone on this list has a reference to a table/site on uterine size.

Don't know what " double " its normal size is exactly, but when mine was first

discovered, it was 10cm and the report stated 2.5 normal uterine size, so yours

is smaller than that. (And grew to 15 cm in just 2 months!) I was told that

cm size of the uterus is roughly the size of the pregnancy, so at 10 cm, my

uterus was at approximately 10 weeks. At 14.9 cm, it was nearly 15 weeks.

I'd make sure to get your own copy of your US report. I found it helpful to be

more knowledgable in discussing options w/various MDs.

I went in, and had the endo bio, then he talked with me about my case. Seems my

uterus is twice the normal size. He didn't relate what that would be in

pregnancy weeks--does anyone know? I have " several " fibroids, one of which is

the size of a baseball. That would mean the rest would have to be walnut sized

or less. He couldn't tell me the location, or if they were inside, outside, or

middle wall located. He figured they were submucosal, which would explain my

heavy periods. The ultrasound must not be too clear, huh? He talked about

options: drug therapy, which he recommended for me (Povera, 10mg taken at day 16

for 10 days), UAE (he described it, but I knew the initials), removing the

fibroids, and historectomy. He said they could be removed, but more could grow

again, like a weed, which I agree with. He wrote me a script for 3 months of

Povera and I need to do a follow up afterward, sooner if I have problems. He

will call me in a few days with the result of the bio, which he suspects will be

negative (OK). I did get a bad headache today (day 6 of Povera) but I didn't

take Ibuprofen as soon as I felt it coming on, which made it worse. Need to keep

an eye on the side effects of this Povera. Still, if it works, and my periods

are lighter and shorter, it will be worth the side effects.
