I'm sorry....I do not understand how a fibroid could "leak." I looked through the archives and read that fibroids do not leak. I understand that fibroids have a large growth supply, but how could this growth leak?

Could the brown discharge be completely unrelated to the fibroid? I am on the pill. Although I take my pill every day, I am not very good at taking it at the same time every day. Is it possible that the brown discharge is break-through bleeding?
