| Endometriosis, Heavy Periods, Fibroids... |
| Fibriod, 32 yrs old, TTC, help im scared |
| After years of telling doctors what my periods are like (2 weeks of PMS and horrible cramps) they finally did a vaginal/pelvic ultrasound and found a fibroid in the front uterine wall. It is 1.7 x 1 cm.
The things I'm reading are so scary. I don't have any kids and I definitely want one. I TTC'ed for about 5 months this year with no luck. I'm 32 1/2 and feel like my biological clock is running out fast.
Does anyone know if a fibroid within the uterine wall can be removed (myomectomy)?
I have an appointment with a gyno...who is a D.O. and not an M.D. I did a little research on this and it seemed like the DO was fine.
What is the doctor likely to do? If it is operable will I have to take hormones before the surgery.
Any help would be tremendously appreciated. I feel so alone. My appointment is in 7 days, which I know is a short time but I really wish that there was someone who could help.
The receptionist on the phone at my internal medicine doctor basically said "honey, if they aren't outside the uterus they can't operate unless its a hysterectomy." Which of course sends me on a downward spiral. I know I shouldn't be listening to her as she isn't a doctor.
I'm trying to have hope. |

| Endometriosis, Miscarriages and TTC |
| I'm 28 and had a c-section 2.5 years ago, since that time I have had nausea and pain, especially when I ovulate. About six months ago, I found a lump on my right side which turned out to be an endometrioma. Apparantly when I had my c-section some endometrial tissue ended up outside my uterus. I had surgery to have it removed and was told it could be a one time thing, but low and behold it's not. I just saw my doctor again and his time I have an endometrioma on my left ovary. So I officially have endometriosis now, and it's pretty terrible, I have uncomfortable symptoms daily. I have also had two miscarriages in the past nine months. Anyone have any experience with endometriosis as well as trying to conceive? It appears my problem isn't getting pregnant, it's sustaining a pregnancy. I see my doctor in a week to discuss things. I really want to have another baby, and want the doctor to take my concerns seriously right away. Two miscarriages have left me devastated. |

| Abnormally long cycles |
| Most normal cycles are around 28 days long but my cycle is naturally 40 days long! I'm told that I'm a relatively healthy girl and have nothing to worry about. It's just annoying that when I miss a period, I have to wait almost three months to see if I get one again, which is a lot of time to worry about if something is up. Plus PMS is horrible due to the longer cycle. I always come down with a cold/flu right before my period starts. My doctor has told me that I can fix my cycle with birth control pills but I don't think I should take medication if I am really healthy and don't need.
I think it would comfort me if I knew if there were other people out there that have long times between periods too. So how about it? Any one else out there with an abnormally long cycle too? |

| Heavy Periods |
| I am dealing with extremely heavy periods some time accompanied with cramping but more so a burning sensation around the belly button area. This has been happening for approximately 1 year. I have also noticed that my periods are getting further apart - on an average of 45 - 50 days apart. I have discussed this with the dr before and he think it might be the starting of menopause -- age is now 42—I do not have any other symptoms. Any other advice or what to look for? My medications does include a daily low does asprin and I was on Plavex for approx 6 months befor the asprin |
