period panties and fibroids

I just have to say what a relief it was to me to find out I was'nt the only one in the world that had period panties!! I have sisters but they have no problems like mine (go figure...thanks mom LOL!!

Anyway I do have one question though, it seems like my fibroids make my tummy feel hard when it's that time of the month, since I have my period every 2 weeks I feel like a constant bloat has this affected anyone else this way??

Oh boy do I ever! My tummy feels bloated almost all of the time now - it makes me impatient for my surgery date!!!

Hey girls I am also bloated all the time my bellybutton even hurts, my surgery date is for May 27, and I cant wait to have it done, I will have a
TVH

A word of hope! I felt the same way before my surgery and was amazed almost from the moment I woke up in the recovery room at how much lighter I felt after the surgery without all of that pressure and bloating. I had dealt with it for so long that it seemed normal.

I had that constant bloat too as well as an enlarged uterus. I would feel the bloat all the way up to my chest. And I had periods every two weeks. I am three and half weeks post op and the bloat is long gone. You can feel the difference immediately. And I was also so happy to throw out all my "period panties"! Can't wait to get done healing and hit up Victoria's Secret! Good luck ladies!

Sister you are not alone...try looking three months pregnant one day and six months the next..being asked if you're pregnant is the absolute WORST...my pre-op is today...please keep me in prayer for Im very sad and going through many emotions now..lots of hugs and love to each and every one of you out there...thanks for this site...it has blessed me...may your day be as BEAUTIFUL as you are sisters...for this too shall pass!

good luck on your pre-op today

I have to say thanks for the best laugh today! I have had "period panties" since I can remember! I thought I must be the ONLY person in the world with these. None of my friends had them! When I saw your post I just cracked up because I am now 34 and it is still a relief that I am not alone in my PERIOD PANTIES!!! Thanks!!
