Hello. I am a nearly 33 year old woman
with two beautiful daughters. My husband
and I do not wish to conceive any more
children, however. I had an IUD in for
almost 5 years and had it removed about 5
months ago. I have been on birth control
pills since then, with little or no side
effects or problems. I have taken them
regularly and used a back up method when
taking antibiotics. I went to the Dr.
about 1 week ago for an annual papsmear
and the Dr. did the routine internal exam
and told me that my uterus is swollen to
approximately the size of an 8-10 week
pregnancy. Naturally, I was shocked and
dismayed. He then gave me a urine test
which came back negative and scheduled me
for a transvaginal ultrasound which I had
done 3 days ago. I had a period 3 weeks
ago, but I am having a few pregnancy
symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, and
sore breasts, but am wondering if they are
all mental symptoms, due to my thinking
and worrying about this. I don't know when
the Dr. will get the results back to me.
Do you think I could be pregnant and the
urine test was wrong or are there other
causes for swollen uterus and pregnancy
symptoms.
