ok..i have read all this and it explains so much..heres my story. 8 years ago I got my tubes tied. Im 35 and have 2 kids. 16 and 11. Well i am now with a guy hes wonderful. he has no kids and hes happy not having any. Well low and behold over the last couple of months I have been in severe pain when menstrating. Losing 2 to 3 days work every other month. it was getting rediculous. Well starting last month my periods were abnormal. I usually have heavy periods that lst 7 days. well the last 2 months they lasted only 4. last month i was in severe pain but just before I got my period..i actually thought i was pregnant..i was like OMG...what am i going to do..then I was like yippy..im a woman of course I would start getting happy..i was nausous all the time..headaches..cravings..breasts very sore..wanting to be more sexually active..feeling flutters in my tummy..swollen stomach..i walk 3 hours every night and I was gaining weight I was freaking out..so I went and got blod test..negative..anyways long story short..i got sent for ultrasound an transvaginal exam. sure enough i have fibroid tumours in my uterus and a cyst on my right ovary. So heres my question. I am getting ready to get it removed at end of the month..has anyone evre had it removed and end up that there tube was opened up enough to get pregnant again?? I am still up in the air about getting pregnant..if it happens ok and if it doesnt ok. Yes I have a bit of baby fever but i have pregnancy symptoms all the time so who wouldnt...it sucks having symptoms but knowing ur not actually pregnant..so can anyone tell me if they got pregnant after cyst removal when tubes were clamped?
thanks

OMG, thats extually wuts happening to me...except now I have been experiencing sore breast under my breast and around my nipples..i just dont understand why tumors would have same symtoms as a cyst and tumors
....it really makes me wonder if it could be that and still be pregnancy....i'll be glad when i get medical card..... Angelique1974 since we have alot in commone and you wanna talk ever, feel free to message me on my yahoo messanger list...Cntrygrl0877.....or anyone ever wants to write me, feel free to....

No I didn't have any cysts only a small fibroid which the doctor said wasn't anything to worry about..Still doesn't explain why I've gained weight and feel movement.I've been going through this since Feb and still no answers..But I'm supposed to go to a gastro doctor this Thurs hopefully he can tell me something..The other thing I can't figure out is my ultrasound says there's normal blood flow to both my ovaries but how if my tubes are tied?
Plus doctor said I can get pregnant if I want to it's ok..ahhhhhhh

so hes basically sayin ur tubes have come undone....i have heard and read online where u can be pregnant and have a fibroid tumor and still carry baby full term...i just hate that so many things have the same symtoms and it makes it so hard to know wuts going on...I just wish my card would come in soon so i can get checked...this is driving me crazy..I am however worried wut doctor will tell me when I go in...a big part of me is woried that its something bad...and part of me wants to get my hopes that God has blessed me and I am preg.. wut to do...to keep my mind off this....I have spotted a little of some pinkish brown some discharge and some not over past month...so a little worried on that end too, not knowing wut it is wrong with me...why does hospitials have to turn people away with no insurance and people who has had tubes tied just cause of that instead of trying to help them....

That's what they said when I asked...My husband asked me to call them back and make sure that's what they meant and the nurse said that's what it says...It's be since 1993-94 since I had them done so I guess it's possible...I always used protection before even though my tubes were tied..but since I've been with my husband we haven't..We would use the pull out method before we were married and then I figured I'm not going to get pregnant so why worry...Well in Feb is when I started feeling the flutters in my lower abdomen and I was gaining weight since then....plus the discharge in my left breast..I have been getting my period still but it's been different too...And this month I had a large amount of blood clots I never had before...I think I'm going to ask her to give me a prescription to check my tubes to make sure and I'll let you know...Good luck to you also hopefully you find out what's bothering you and hopefully your pregnant..I want a baby and would be happy if I can..BTW it's not a fibroid tumor just a a small fibroid they found.I guess that's why they said don't worry about it.

Just thought I'd provide another update. I also had many fibroids in my uterus, and it turns out, they were the biggest cause of my problems. They can cause cramping, heavy and clotty periods, as well as some pregnancy symptoms/hormone changes. I had some fibroids removed after my first pregnancy (the Dr. told me fibroids might cause difficulties getting pregnant again.) but this time decided on the hysterectomy due to the recurrence of fibroids, already having all the kids we want, and not wanting to go through what I've been through this last year. The pain and other effects of these fibroids is horrid, and the emotional imbalances were a nightmare. Hysterectomy was the best option for me. I had it two weeks ago today, and I am finally starting to feel normal again.
As to the flutters, I felt them too. I was told it might actually be the fibroids growing against your intestines, causing problems in that area too (gas bubbles/irregular movement). One of my other symptoms was days of weird diarrhea just after my heavy period. A lot of Drs don't believe that fibroids can cause that, but mine does. He said he's seen it too many times where once the uterus or fibroids are removed, the diarrhea stops. Mine sure did.
Oh, and, fibroids are never cancerous, even though they use the word "tumor" to describe them.

well i finally got my letter for my card so i can finally go see a doc..I hate using medical card, i wish i could do it another way, but with aconomy way it is i cant find a decent job...after doing some major investagation and talking to other people i found out that is very possible back in Jan I had a miscarriage...so it makes me wonder even more if this is wuts going on...thing with me is I aint having a period, so wut could be stopping that.. i aint under hardly any stress, ive been under more in past then now...i do have sore breast now too that started a few days ago..so i'll let ya'll know wut I find out....
