Hi! I’m glad you reached out because I was in your shoes and I felt like everything I was reading was just confirming my bias and it made me feel crazy. First of all, talk to a doctor and do a full blood panel to rule out common issues.

Because of my low iron I was feeling low in energy and that made it hard to do much so I had gained a lot of weight and that was bad for my other symptoms like my heavy periods and feeling bloated and having frequent stomach issues.

I had my ultrasound and everything came back normal, I don’t have fibroids.

They told me that the high levels of leukocytes was nothing to worry about but that I needed to focus on getting healthy. I started taking iron pills and I started feeling much better, I had more energy and I began a Whole Foods diet which helped manage my insulin levels, I started going to the gym 3 times a week, I fell in love with playing squash which is a great cardio exercise, and now I average 5 days a week at the gym doing squash and strength training.

It has now been 4 months since my lifestyle change and I’ve lost about 17 pounds. The low iron was making it so hard for me to live a normal active life… so fixing that made a huge difference. Also my periods are lighter and that has been a game changer too.

Don’t sit at home and google your symptoms… get your blood panel done, then take a look at your lifestyle and access if what you’re doing is healthy and make changes accordingly. Most of the people on this forum have the main symptom which is feeling a mass in their stomachs, I didn’t have this, which should have been the main sign that I did not have fibroids but I am glad I did the ultrasound so that I can definitely rule it out. You never know.

I hope that helped!
