What does this mean mothers or mothers to be?

Question

I went to the doctor yesterday to take a blood tests to see if i was pregnant. She did check my womb and said that it was rather large. What does this mean? Could i be pregnant? I call her back tomorrow. I'm just so nervous

Hello Ladies, thanks for answering my question. I have been having some symptoms that my doctor says can be pregnancy symptoms. My nipples and breast are sore and i have cramping without bleeding. Also i am having more headaches, but that could be from anything. I'm suppossed to hear from her tomorrow, but i am just getting a little antsy. Can these symptoms also happen with fibroids?

Answer 1

If the uterus has increased in size, it's possible you are pregnant. But there are other causes, including fibroid tumors (usually harmless), etc.

Answer 2

It could mean you are pregnant. Not to scare you but it could be a tumor or something as well. My guess is though that if you've had unprotected sex around the time of ovulation then you are more likely pregnant. Especially during pregnancy you should always ask questions. If you don't understand the answer you get or comment of the drs don't be afraid to ask. It's your body and could be your baby so ask away. Best of luck!

Answer 3

Have you missed your period yet? Are you in any pain? Sometimes the cause of enlarged uterus are uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids develop from the smooth muscular tissue of the uterus (myometrium). A single cell reproduces repeatedly, eventually creating a pale, firm, rubbery mass distinct from neighboring tissue. Fibroids range in size from seedlings, undetectable by the human eye, to bulky masses that can distort and enlarge the uterus. They can be single or multiple, in extreme cases expanding the uterus so much that it reaches the rib cage.

Doctors don't know why fibroids occur, but research and clinical experience point to several factors:

* Genetic alterations. Many fibroids contain alterations in genes that code for uterine muscle cells.
* Hormones. Estrogen and progesterone, two reproductive hormones produced by the ovaries that stimulate development of the uterine lining in preparation for a possible pregnancy, appear to promote the growth of fibroids. Fibroids contain more estrogen and estrogen receptors than do normal uterine muscle cells.
* Other chemicals. Substances that help the body maintain tissues, such as insulin-like growth factor, may affect fibroid growth.

There are few known risk factors for uterine fibroids, other than being a woman of reproductive age. Heredity probably plays a role. If your mother or sister had fibroids, you're at increased risk of also developing them. Black women are more likely to have fibroids than are women of other racial groups. In addition, black women have fibroids at younger ages, and they're also likely to have more or larger fibroids.

Research examining other potential risk factors has been inconclusive. Although some studies have suggested that obese women are at higher risk of fibroids, other studies have not shown a link. In addition, limited studies once suggested that women who take oral contraceptives and athletic women may have a lower risk of fibroids, but later research failed to establish this connection. Researchers have also looked at whether pregnancy and giving birth may have a protective effect, but results remain unclear.

Your uterus starts growing when you are pregnant. At 4 weeks my doctor could tell I was pregnant by the size of my uterus.

How did she check you? Did she do lab work? If you are that worried, call the nurse and explain that you didn't really understand the doc, are you pregnant or not?
