How long ago was your scan Mom2four ?
I would advise going back to the doctor as it could be down to many things.

Worse than ever cramps and flooding made the last few years of periods a nightmare for me.

I think it's quite common to experience these problems, although the fibroid may also be the cause. I would see the doctor again about it.

It's wonderful when the periods finally stop, though, so something to look forward to!

Do any of you lovely ladies remember if it is normal to have increased cramping before menopause?
I’m 48 and it seems I have frequent, low grade period type cramps- worse at ovulation and during period but in between too.
I had a scan and with the exception of a fibroid all was normal.
It’s worse on the right side.
I’d feel a lot better if I knew this is just a stage to pass through as opposed to anything serious...
Any thoughts appreciated.
