Next message: NQ: "Never ending fibroids"
Previous message: Pamela: "calcified uterine fibroids"

I posted this question on 22 Sep. I went followed up with a reproductive endocrinologist as suggested and they informed me, after a pelvic ultrasound today, that I had fibriods. I was surprised that I had grown more since my surgery. When I told the doctor that...he told me that they had not removed the original fibroids nor had they removed all of the adhesions that were found during the exploratory lap. But they still cannot figure out why it is that I have been bleeding for three months and they still cannot find the source of my pain. Is it just me or is there something really wrong with this picture? Do you have any suggestions? As for my cycle, I was told to just discontinue the pill for a while to see if that helps.
