Fibroids?

[Guest guest]

I'm a 35 year old woman. I went to my doctor last week, complaining

of having two intense periods in one month (for the first time.)

First, she said it may have just been due to recent weight loss from

my being on a diet and exercising more and that she would just give

me birth control pills for a while to straighten it out. Then, I

told her I hadn't had a pelvic exam in five years and maybe she

might want to do that. So, she did and she appeared shocked that my

uterus is twice the normal size. She handed me a piece of paper with

an appointment set for an ultrasound. All it had written on it was

fibroids? That's it. Fibroids. Question Mark.

The doctor's office won't answer any questions until I have my

ultrasound Monday and the results are back. I feel fine now.. just

tired and nauseous strangely on occasion. Nausea does not seem to be

related to fibroids, from what I've read on line. I called into the

office upset last week because of the nausea, tiredness, etc. and I

was told not to stress myself out, but drink water and rest.

I'm just wondering if what I have just experienced looks like

a " normal " profile of a woman with fibroids. I know this is not a

group of medical professionals, but just other women, but I wonder

did my doctor " hope " it's fibroids, you know.. like maybe she really

suspects something worse. I don't know. I have surrendered to the

unknown, but I just wanted some feedback and support.

Thank you,
