We got 'roids

Forums New posts
Oh Lauren my darling I hope it settles down really quick.

I think I'm getting a flare up as the headaches are starting and i'm struggling to walk x
 
oh no Eoz, I'm sorry! I keep saying to myself....almost there and it will all be worth it!
 
so girls, i mentioned in my last entry on p.12 that the roid has shift way way down and to the right. And last night I woke up in pain because the baby pushed it directly over my bladder. Have you guys heard of moving fibroids? I just don't understand how this could have happened over a period of 3 days. If it is on a stalk, could the stalk be that long? it would have to be like 15 cm or more because it's flipped 180 degrees! Or...I've also read that a fibroid on a stalk could detach. I just don't know what to think and the dr's don't seem to want to give me answers! I called my GP again today and I'm going to insist on an ultrasound to see what's going on in there. ugh...so frustrating! If anyone has seen anything in their research please let me know. xx
:)
 
Hmm hun that is odd.Like you say a rather long stalk if that is the case! My roid has moved to the left but thats because my womb is shifting with baby.

Demand to get a scan as it could go anywhere and cause all sorts of trouble xxx
 
Just got off the phone with my GP and he's basically flat out refusing a scan!!! He said it won't give us any clarity or ease my mind. Really guy??? Did you ever have a grapefruit sized tumor in your abdomen and have someone tell you "don't worry about it?" and on top of that had to worry about the well-being of your offspring?
ughhhhh...I'm so frustrated!! I'm calling to see if I can get my 4D re-do pictures tomorrow...that might put my mind at ease.
 
Grr what a prize knob.Can you not go to another doctor to get a second opinion? I have a consultant who rules over my doctor.Will the 4d pick up any problems?Then maybe the doc will listen? x
 
Hi girls! So, another little revelation. At all my prior scans I was told I have a posterior placenta. Then I went to my 4D ultrasound yesterday...and the placenta is now apparently anterior. This is only 6 weeks after my last hospital ultrasound that said it was posterior! There's no way it could have "grown" around to the front in only 6 weeks. All signs are pointing toward uterine torsion, which could be very serious if that's really what it is and I can't get the doctors to believe me! I'm going to try with my OB today to see if he'll listen.

How is everyone doing today?
 
Oh Lauren I hope you get through to them.Will that explain the roid moving?

I'm ok just feel so heavy but touch wood no roid pain for 2 weeks now!
 
Yup that would all make the pieces fit! But they all think I'd be in severe pain if that was what's happening...so they won't believe me!

I'm glad your pain is gone!! Are you still taking medication or did it just settle down on its own?
 
After my flare up it has settled but thats because my womb shifted as has baby.I'm just left with a very heavy bump and a weak bladder.I still take pain relief but i also cut out fatty food and chocolate.

You don't always have to have pain but it may suddenly hit you.I hope to god it does not hurt x
 
Hi girls!

Lauren, any news on your moving fibroid? I tried to research it online but I couldn't find much. Your doctor really needs to take you more seriously, what a jerk. Please let us know what happens.

I just had an appointment with my obgyn. He scanned the cervical fibroid to see if it had moved and it hadn't, it is still blocking my cervix so I will have to have a c-section. It is now the size of the baby's head and they are side by side.

So now I have two v large fibroids- and I am worried I will not be able to conceive again with this one blocking the cervix. My OH says to concentrate on this one for now but I am still a bit sad about it.

Anyhoo hope you are all well. Eoz about your heavy bump- I feel this too. Have you tried those maternity support belts? I've been considering one but they look really uncomfortable so not sure.
 
Wow hun.That must be so uncomfy.Big hugs.I guess in a way a section is the best bet.Will they fix the roid at the same time?

I have tried a support belt but i hate being restricted and it squeezed me to much so gave up.Of late i have to "carry" my bump in my hands.It's an odd feeing.My roid is quietish.I feel it lurking though!I have a appt on thursday and hopefully another scan x
 
Hi girls!
Well, everyone has given up on the "why" for my floating roid. The only time it's painful is when I have contractions that seem to pull it down right onto my bladder. The position of the baby at the time must affect that. But otherwise, she's still fine in there so I'll calm down until my next u/s on June 7th.

Lane I wouldn't worry now about what will happen to that roid for the next child, because it will probably shrink down tremendously after the baby is born, and who knows in what ways the uterus will shrink down to. Are you going to breastfeed? My cousin's doc told her that was a great way to further reduce fibroids. And if it really did get in the way of conceiving again, surely they'd remove it?
 
Lauren read this and help me!

Hi everyone, I am new to this website, I am expecting twins and found out that I have a fibroid during my last ultrasound. I am only about 7 weeks pregnant and I am so nervous from the things that I have read. I know that you ladies have done tons of reasearch on fibroids and ways to keep them from growing, has anyone found that diet impacts fibroid growth? From what I read I should stay away from all dairy and other animal products, how true is this? Thanks so much for your help!
 
Hey firstly HI and Congrats xxxx

As for diet I can't say.I do notice that fatty/greasy foods can aggravates my Fibroid as does coffee.Drinking lot's of water is a really good piece of advice but a bugger when baby jumps all over bladder!

The girls here are fabulous and I'm sure between us we can help you xxx
 
Hi there! I've read some stuff about diet but honestly haven't tried any of it...I don't think regular doctors make any diet suggestions, but it sounds like a more alternative path. Can't hurt to try as long as it's all pregnancy friendly! How big is your roid Heather? Congrats on having twins!! I don't think you have anything to be nervous about...complications due to fibroids are pretty rare. (although of course we all worry anyway)
 
I am not sure of the exact measurement, I didn't know enough about it at the time to ask! I have my ultrasound picture from last week when I was 6 1/2 weeks pregnant, I am not able to upload it because I haven't had 10 posts yet, I will post it later. The fibroid is a little bigger than one of the babies in the picture, and that is still small, because the babies are still tiny at this point in the pregnancy.

So it's inside the uterus? When I had my 7 week scan the fibroid was much bigger than my whole uterus (it is on the outside)! ew.
