Fibroid Changes According to Our Cycles?

[Guest guest]

I am still waiting my ultrasound after being diagnosed with

grapefruit sized fibroid 3 weeks ago. My sonogram is Wednesday.

My doctor discovered the fibroid upon pelvic examination. I had had

an ultrasound 3 years earlier and was diagnosed with a smaller

fibroid near my cervix at that time.

My question is: My pelvic exam was 5 days prior to my period in

which my uterus enlarges and I retain a lot of water. My ultrasound

is going to be within 1 week of my period as well.

Do fibroids grow prior to your period and reduce in size as well. I

have been tracking symptoms and I find that my need to pee is

minimal 2 weeks after my period. Could my fibroid be a grapefruit

near my period and an orange at other times of the month?
