I've got a 12cm fibroid in my uterus, and Im really worried about having to go through surgery. Are there any medicines or other treatments out there that could help shrink it instead?

Why do I feel pregnant before my period?

You may experience early signs of pregnancy like tender breasts, nausea, fatigue and sensitivity to smell or bloating about a week-and-a-half before your period is scheduled to arrive due to hormonal variations.

I'm about 6 weeks and 6 days pregnant and the only symptom I've had has been tender breasts. But for the last two days, the pain has completely disappeared, and my breasts feel just like they did before I was pregnant. Is this disappearing symptom normal, or could it mean something's wrong? This is my first pregnancy, and I'm feeling pretty anxious. My first scan is due on October 8th. What should I expect?

I had a laparoscopy done 5 months ago for an ectopic pregnancy, but I still get sharp pains sometimes where they did the surgery. Why is it still hurting like this?

Post-laparoscopy pain can persist due to adhesions, nerve sensitivity, or healing tissues. If worsening or accompanied by other symptoms, a follow-up pelvic ultrasound may be needed.
