Women with fibroids what were your symptoms?
Question: Women with fibroids what were your symptoms?
I have been having very heavy painful periods but short periods no more then 3 to 4 days. I am 37. Lots of small clots. Wondering if this is a sign of having a fibroid? My sister had fibroids recently and bled for like 3 months straight before she got it removed and that is NOt me so Im trying to figure out from those with them what their symptoms are.Thanks

My periods were lasting 3-4 days and I felt soooo lucky.
Then while I was vacationing in the Dominican Republic this
past december, I thought I was okay because I had my period at the beginning of dec. BUT on December 26 I started my period again and it lasted for 15 days !!! I got it again on Feb 02 for 7 days!
So worried as I was (I’m in your age group by the way) I made an appointment to see my doctor, I didn’t know what it could be, I had always been regular. Was I going through premenopause ?
Sooo, my doc gave me an internal examination, did a pap smear,
gave me calcium and Vitamin D and sent me for blood tests and a pelvic ultrasound. I went for my blood tests last week and next Monday the 26th, I go for my pelvic ultrasound. I guess I should find out what is going on by the 2nd week of March. Keeping my fingers crossed !
Go see your doc ! Don’t take any chances.
Good Luck.
You can email me during the 2nd week of March and I’ll tell you what my results show.
