Yes, I suffered from them for many years, I could actually feel the fibroid on my left ovary it was that large. I bled heavy and experienced extreme cramps that left me almost paralyzed during the first few days before and after period began. also my period came on every 21 days instead of every 28 as it had been regularly before the fibroids. Upon exam the gyn noted that i had fibroids and suggested treatment.However lack of medical insurance prevented me in taking the steps to have medical treatment. So, after many years i believe the largest fibroid finally Passed. I no longer feel that telltale lump on the left side of my ovary, i do still pass clots but there a more reasonable or i guess normal size.Also i still cramp but not as intensely which is a huge relief. I wonder if age plays a factor in it as i am now 44 and most likely entering into pre menopause.
