    Shimmer-1
    Enlarged Uterus, No Fibroids
    In August had pelvic ultrasound performed, a transabdominal (done NPOx12
    hr, not per protocol) and a transvaginal. Test ordered as result of
    severe back/abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting and lightheadedness. Two
    urine test: 1st test normal. 2nd test ordered at f/u visit as standard
    procedure stated: “Results suggest gross contamination/inappropriate
    handling. Repeat 10000 CFU per ml Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B).
    CDC recommends pregnant women w/group B Streptococcus bacteriuria
    receive intrapartum chemoprophylaxis.”
    Bloodwork showed low red cell
    count. Doctor didn’t feel need to repeat tests, states both test are
    normal. Previous ultrasounds (from a few years ago) showed a fibroid in
    the uterus and a retroverted uterus. U/S last month showed a
    retroverted uterus, but no fibroids. The measurements of my uterus has
    increased from previous U/S (5.0 x 6.7 x 7.5 cm with a fibroid in the
    uterus) and now my uterus measures 11.7 x 5 x 6.8 cm without a fibroid.
    U/S also mentioned that there was fluid in right adnexa and cul-de-sac.
    At follow-up appt a pelvic exam was done and it was noted that my uterus
    is enlarged and irregularly shaped. I was informed that right now they
    can only speculate, but there is no answer to exactly what is wrong. I
    was informed to follow-up with another physician due to his expertise…
    so I do have an appointment scheduled. Papsmear results normal. Still
    cramping, but not as severe. Nauseated daily, (sometimes from the
    smell/thought of food) with some vomiting. Lightheadedness can get bad
    at times, for example, last month became so ill one day, I was with a
    friend who stated I said something, but then I was “gone”. My friend
    thought I was just sleepy and just fell back to go to sleep, but the
    only thing I remember is that I felt like if I stood up I’d pass out. I
    have been feeling movement in the middle lower abdomen and sometimes it
    makes me so nauseated. My stomach is swollen/bloated with a full round
    look and it is BIG now. If the fibroid tumor is gone and no embryo seen
    on ultrasound, what can cause this problem?
