I am a 37 yr old female two years ago i found out i had fibroids i had very heavy peroids and they lasted very long. I am currently taking loestrin 24fe and two weeks ago i started spotting then it changed colors its now almost black and chunky. I had my pap done last week found out everything was ok then i found out my fibroids are growing went back to the dr and she put me on provera for the bleeding she also sent me to have a tv ultrasound and the tech said her boss was gonna call my dr because i had some things going on and my dr is gonna want to see me before my nest appointment (in two weeks) i'm a nervous wreck and im really thinking about having my uterus removed i am soooo tired of dealling with issues down there. So now i am waiting by the phone for my dr to call and tell me to come in also i have mild cramping forgot to mention that. If there is ANYONE out there that has been thru this or knows a little about something about my symptons PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME TO PUT MY MIND @ EASE.......... THANK YOU :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
you'll be okay
Hi Cristtina! Ist of all the Tech should NEVER had said that to you without having a doctor talk to you! It takes a qualified radiologist to thoroughly go over your ultrasound - AFTER! This is why it takes upto 5 business days for your doctor to get the report!
Due to the fact that your pap test was normal is an EXCELLENT indicator that nothing really nasty is going on honey! NOW that being said, when you are dealing with Fibroids - depending on how many and how big they have gotten, THEN there are red flags, so I think with your black bleeding and having tissue in it that one of your Fibroids could have started endometriosis! Which would explain your cramping! Fibroids and Endometriosis are the main causes of women seaking hysterectomies - So I TOTALLY understand you wnating to get this over and done with - I had a hysterectomy at 36!
Endometriosis, can spread to other organs so that might be the hurry with getting you to see a doctor here is a fantastic link showing the symptoms of Endo they sound VERY similar to yours

Could you tell me if you have been having unprotected sex in the last 2 or 3 months?
