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!! Alisa
