Fibroids

I'm hoping that you guys can give me something to hold onto while I wait for a scan of my pelvis. I'm in an absolute blind panic that i have cancer, I am high risk so I am in such a dark place.

However, I've just been reading about fibroids and I want to try and focus that this could be the cause to get me through the time I have to wait for scan and results. I have adenomyosis already.

Symptoms - basically when I do vigorous exercise, especially running, I get acute pain on the left side of my pelvis. It lasts for about ten minutes. I don't feel it any other time.

I have INSANE periods, blood clots and the lot. Feel it at it's worst on the left side. Recently the clots have been quite bonkers but I've just put this down to perimenopause. The other month, I had a lighter period but it lasted for 3 weeks. Since then the periods have been normal (for me). I take transexamic acid and I can still do very little during my period and will be up in the night with pain every single month for the first two nights of it. I can't really do anything when on as I feel quite cloudy. Periods have probably been like this for about 6/7 years but the clots perhaps just the last 2.

Have a tummy but think that is just fat!

Please tell me that fibroids is a possibility here?

Having my scan today. Haven’t slept much and I won’t get any results today but the scan place seem excellent and it looks like they should be back with GP by end of week. Of course that might end up with just another referral. I can feel where I’m sore quite clearly now. Also starting to get the odd bit of very mild indigestion but I don’t know if that’s just my mind playing tricks! Definitely no other issues and I might be a tiny bit bloated but definitely not something I’d have noticed if I wasn’t so worried.

DD (12) noticed yesterday I was worried and she was so lovely. Obvs I didn’t share too much with her but I said I was worrying a bit and she was so sensible and asked what the most likely outcome was and told me it was bound to be that. She gets quite anxious and she said it actually helped her seeing me be irrational as she could see how it looked from the outside. What an awesome child 😍
