>Robin,

I have had heavier periods. Now I am spotting or bleeding all the time. I have lower back pain radiating to my left hip. My OB said she thought she felt a fibroid. I have a lot of clotting right now. But my back hurts and I feel it in my left hip. She is not doing a Laparoscopy. Just the hysteroscopy and D&C. I am scared. What were your symptoms. Thanks. >>>--
