It's the symptoms that go along with it. :sad: April, thank you. It isn’t actually the fibroid itself that hurts — you can’t feel it, thank God! It’s the symptoms that go along with it.

Because I'm on an anticonvulsant (Tegretol) there's actually more of a risk factor that I could become pregnant, but that's been the case with all of the OCs I've been on so we make sure we have back-up. :wink: I did go over the literature as you suggested, and the only thing so far that I've experienced is the depression part. Ha. Big surprise there. Luckily, my PCP and pdoc communicate, so both know what meds I'm on at any given time. I appreciate the advice, and obviously, checked into it right away!

As you've been having many health issues you wouldn't want to get anymore and those so called 3rd and 4th generation OC's have more risk for that, especially if you already have other risk factors or are using any other medication with that risk. Don't know if you are but it's worth looking into...
