Uterine fibroids

So I went to the Dr. today for a check up.
On my ultrasound they found that I have a 3cm Uterine fibroid. Not common for someone my age. She told me that this will not cause me any trouble in TTC or having a baby. Anyone else have uterine fibroids, and how old were you when they found them? My last period hurt so bad I wonder if maybe this was why. Thanks gurls!

Hi there. I myself have a 2.5 cm fibroid. I am 32 and it was found during an vaginal ultrasound I had two years ago. I don't know if there is any relationship with pcos and fibroids. I am glad to hear that your dr said, it would not hurt your chances to conceive though. when I was told about mine, my dr told me you don't have any cysts on your ovaries, but I still feel you have pcos. Oh and by the way you have a fibroid,,lol. Some drs, I tell ya

My regular Dr. said I have P.C.O.S But when I went to the e.r one day the specialist there said I see no cysts on your ovaries, which would tell him Im not pcos. Weird. I guess its because I have all the other classic signs lol. Just a week later they found the fibroid. WOW What we have to go through to be a woman huh?

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
