I went for my annual appointment today with my OBGYN, during my exam my doctor tells me that my uterus was enlarged. When I asked what that was caused from, he said pregnancy was the first thing. When my blood test came back negative for pregnancy he scheduled a sonogram for the following week, however when I asked what else it could be, he kept saying he wasn't sure, the sonogram would let us know. has anyone else ever been in this situation. I am 22, and I thought I would be relieved that it wasn't pregnacy because my husband and I both have one semester of college left, but now I wish it were pregnacy because now my mind is going in a thousand different directions trying to figure out what it could be. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe fibroid

It could be fibroid tumors. They are benign growths that are usually asymptomatic. I know it is easy for others to say but " relax". At your age and considering that you are healthy, the likelihood of anything serious is very very rare.

I'm surprised he didn't tell you to get checked for fibroids. I just went through this and they can be HUGE and totally enlarge your uterus. they are common. You are young for them, but I got them at 32 or younger. You'll soon start having MAJOR periods- then you won't stop bleeding. I'm talking GALLONS here, and clots. You may need a D and C. Its no big deal.
