Hi Anon
Thank you for your question and welcome!
The goods news about uterine fibroids (if it can be considered "good news") is that they are very common and most are harmless, even though they can have some very uncomfortable symptoms/risks like:
Iron-deficiency anemia may develop if bleeding is heavy.
Have you had your fibroid evaluated since 2010? If not, should should. Fibroids can shrink or gain in size at any time so we cannot tell you what size it would be now.
Do you feel any of the symptoms (or others) listed above?
Best,
~Susan

Actually I have every symptom listed except miscarriage. EVERYONE of them. Terrible heavy, heavy periods, I have to wear tampons and pads together. Extreme cramp pain with excessively huge clots, breakthrough bleeding for 7 days, very frequent urination, severe low back pain. Hard to sleep due to pelvic pain and pressure like a downward pulling sensation even when walking, standing or sitting, constipation and anemia. Accompanied by headache and nausea. I haven't been able to get pregnant with absolutely no birth control. And I have gained weight.
