Hello all. 

My husband and I have been trying for the past 2 years. 
Last year we got referred to a gynaecologist. I had bloods, transvaginal scans and found that I have cysts on my ovaries. I have had further scans and been waiting to see the gynaecologist to see how to go forward. 

About 2 weeks ago I went for another scan because I had started having heavy periods (large clots), prolonged bleeding etc. I was really concerned something was wrong. I had my scan and asked at the time if the cysts were still there. She was a little non descript and said best to talk to my GP. 
 

The gynaecology department then called and cancelled the HSG I was booked in for. This caused me great panic because it feels like one step forward, three steps back. They have booked me in for a consultation with the gynaecologist which is Wednesday. I finally heard back from my GP today because I wanted to know more about my scan - she said there was a growth on my upper uterus. This caused me to be very panicked - she said it could be fibroids or polyops. I now am waiting until Wednesday to see the gynaecologist and get some more information. 
 

To top it off since last Thursday I've had a dull ache and pressure on my left side, fairly low down. And then when walking i can feel the pressure. Also had intercourse with my husband and it felt uncomfortable and lots of pressure. This is the first time I've get like this and now am very concerned. 
 

anyone else in this situ?

Hi Lolabunny1986, 
I came across your post and felt that me and my husband are going through quite a similar situation..

We seem to be on a similar journey, we started trying for a baby in 2018, last year before the pandemic as it had been two years we went to the gp. Around the same time I found that I had severe pains in my lower belly area, and it was confirmed that I have a number of fibroids. 

We have had all the tests and have now been referred for IVF. The IVF clinic are now in the midst of making a decision as to whether the fibroids should be removed before attempting an ivf cycle, although they have confirmed that it's more than likely the next step will be an MRI to check the exact location. One fibroid is 8cm inside the uterus. 
 

I had the dull aching pains when laying down especially at night, and one week before period which I since found is during a progesterone spike after ovulation. Also pain during exercise, and intercourse. The pains are no longer severe which is strange considering the largest fibroid is bigger .. I can now feel and see it when laying flat, especially when I have a full bladder on the morning. 
 

hope you're feeling ok, and I wanted to let you know there's someone out there in a similar situation!
