Thank you...I do have a fybroid, it is benign and it hasn't been growing
either. They have measured it every ultrasound and it hasn't grown
enough to be a concern, but I think it has grown a millimeter in 2
months.
So that would cause my uterus to grow abnormally fast? Is there any
danger in this?
Thank you again-you made me feel much better!!
