wow I am having the same problems and look pregnant its horrible and depressing and I just lost my health insurance due to a job change .... and it rediculous. it hurts to press on mine as well and I felt like they move around as well.
You are not alone.
Today, a sales person asked me about my non existent pregnancy. I thought I looked good. It's the fibroids. :/
I'm 29, and last April, out of the blue, learned I have a 19cm uterus because of the size of my fibroids.
My lower back aches always. I had to pee every 45 mins bc of these things, but that was curbed after seeing an acupuncturist and a herbalist. (This was rough. I worried that I couldn't sit thought important events, and when the topic of a family trip to Disney came up, I was Really worried about my inability to stand in lines long enough.) There was a period where I would get up as if I was pregnant, I'd hold my belly as I walked up the stairs, cuddling has to be altered, and intimacy has changed so much. In addition, I've gone up 2-3 clothing sizes because it's grown so big. I've also put on 20 pounds this year. My normal weight pattern is a gain of about 2-4 pounds a year.
This year, my comfort in my own body has waned. What makes this more difficult is that I am engaged to be married this September. If I lose the weight I gained this year, my dress will fit without alterations. If I lose the weight I gained this year, will I look even more pregnant? This is all so frustrating, upsetting and uncomfortable.
In addition to all this, pregnancy is more complicated. I was informed that I would need the fibroids removed before I could conceive, then I'd need a c-section to deliver. At first, I cried; I had hoped to be little-miss-all-natural, and since then, I've been working through my emotions and finding ways to make this more comfortable mentally.
I wish the medical world knew of more ways to balance our hormones so that these issues could be handled in a more effective way. Cutting out the symptoms without address the cause seems foolish and inappropriate, but I am told that it is the best option. Increasing my Vitamin D3 intake, seeing an herbalist and an acupuncturist are all helping me treat the symptoms, but I'm not sure how much they are treating the problem. It can be difficult to have faith.
I hope everyone can find peace with this issue; it's not a fun one.
Also I learned today that fibroids are crystallized mucus.theres ways you can shrink them and pass them without surgery ! They'll come back if you don't change your lifestyle from the way you eat,your sex life...attracting toxic partners ...etc.research natural ways to pass fibroids.
I've never experienced something so confusing before in my life.i've had pregnancy scares before and I have abnormal periods so maybe I do have a fibroid but I can feel movements that feel like kicks.and it started off as flutters and before that I just felt a knot on my side.im bloated as if I am pregnant.my back is arched and im shaped like a pregnant woman.my nose smells everything,my breast are sore and my nipples have bumps around them as if i was gonna be producing milk.my nose is also wider,my gums bleed leaving a metallic taste in my mouth,i cant wear wired bras or any type of bras really because it hurts.my breast,thighs and behind have grown.i feel like i cant breath when i lay on my back so i only lay on my sides.I have dreams about being pregnant with a Lil boy and ppl close to me have dreams about me and this Lil boy.i thought i was alone and that i was crazy but you and @welivetogive really gave me reassurance.i feel very alone,i told everyone i was pregnant but i doubted myself after the doctors visit and told my friends im not pregnant after all.they think im crazy and we dont speak anymore.i doubt fibroids cause all these pregnancy symptoms.maybe my uterus is pregnant but there's no baby?maybe my mind and heart wanted to experience pregnancy so bad that my body altered because of it. i feel sad because I want to be pregnant but I took several urine test over a period of months and they all came back negative.from a spiritual standpoint when a man and a woman come together you give birth to something.I'm still searching I've gone to the doctor but I never feel like they wanna help me Im just a dollar sign.i had blood test done and they said it was abnormal.i wanted an ultrasound but they did X-ray of my chest because I had really severe rib pain.they said it was nothing wrong with me and they didnt know what was causing pain.i figured my ribs were shifting for the baby.apart of me is dreading going back because i don't wanna hear Im not pregnant and my powerful thoughts have been deceiving my body but I have to know so Im going to the gyn.
Good luck and much love
and blessings to all of you.
