What are the signs of fibroids shrinking?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Acute stabbing pain and swelling in the abdomen. The pain and swelling are caused by the release of chemicals from the fibroids as the cells die. Fever is another sign of fibroid shrinking.

I'm a bit concerned because my recent TVS scan at 5 weeks and 5 days showed the yolk sac and fetal pole, but there wasn't a heartbeat detected yet. Should I be worried? Is it possible that the heartbeat will be detected in the next scan? Can you offer some guidance on what this might mean?

At 5 weeks and 5 days of pregnancy, it is not uncommon for the fetal heartbeat to not be detected yet. It is possible that the heartbeat may be detected in your next scan. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.

I'm about a month and 6 days late for my period, and I'm starting to get really worried. I've been feeling nauseous, my nipples are sore, and I'm a lot more sensitive to smells than usual. I've taken a home pregnancy test three times now, but each time, the test line shows up faint. The faint line appears less than 23 minutes after the urine flows onto the test pad. I'm really anxious about whether I might be pregnant or not. Could you help me understand what's going on?
