I have been trying to see when I am ovulating. I have irregular periods and have yet to see the egg like discharge in months. I know that a woman usually ovulate 14 days before her period. My cycle is anywhere from 25-28 day cycle. The legnth of my period changes to. When it is a longer cycle I seem to bleed for at least five days. My period has changed over the last year. Now when I come on it last for a couple of days then it stops for a day. Then I come on again for 1-3 days. I have fibroid tumors on my ovaries and uterus so I was wondering if this could cause me not to ovulate.

Ovulation and Ovaries Answer A8902


Fibroid is a tumor detected in the uterus and contains cells similar to muscle cells. The size and the exact location in the uterus might vary, thus causing a variety of symptoms. These symptoms include: hemorrhage, painful and heavy periods, abdominal discomfort, bleeding during intercourse, etc. They might even be a cause for infertility when the inner lining of the uterus cannot be prepared for embedding the fertilized egg. Although, in this case, fibroid is one of the rarer causes for infertility.

Tumors that are formed from fibrous tissue might be found on the ovaries (fibroma), but are not called fibroids. Assuming that you actually talked about fibroma, they might affect the function of the ovaries. The functional tissue of the ovaries might be significantly reduced thus increasing the chances for hormone production irregularities. The releasing of the eggs from the ovaries might also be affected, thus relating this condition with irregular ovulation.

You might want to visit a gynecologist for more information on this issue.
