[Shimmer-1]

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?
