Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Hey everybody! My question has to deal with the size of my fibroid... I was told that it is just under 7 cm. I hear alot of people talking about a certain gestation size...Would anybody know what mine would be classified as? Just simply from knowing how many CM it is? and oh yeah...Is it possible I have one that they don't see like on the back of my uterus or something? I only had an abdominal ultrasound done. My doctor ordered both an abdominal and a trans-vaginal one. The tech wouldn't do the trans because I am still a virgin, and only 19..Go figure!! Well, thanks in advance for any replies I recieve! kristina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Hi Kris, I read in one of the many books on fibroids that 1 in = 8 week pregnancy. 1 inch=2.54 cm. The rest of the women will correct me if i'm wrong. I'm just letting you know what I read. Yes it is possible that you have other fibroids that are missed during an abdominal ultrasound. I am 25 and I have 3 fibroids, 2 that are 4cm and one 6cm and I must say that joining this group is one of the best things I've done. Everyone is so very supportive. Good Luck, Shaunah > Hey everybody! > My question has to deal with the size of my fibroid... I was told > that it is just under 7 cm.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 When I had my myomectomy, there was one large fibroid in the wall of my uterus they knew of from the ultrasound. During the surgery, my doctor found two other smaller ones inside the uterus that did not show up beforehand, so she removed those as well. > Hey everybody! > My question has to deal with the size of my fibroid...
