The average size of a uterus in a woman who has never had children is 8 cm

long by 5 cm wide, and the endometrium is about 2.5 cm thick. In women who

have had a child, the average uterus size is 9 cm by 6 cm, and the

endometrium is about 4 cm thick.

In a premenopausal woman, each ovary measures about 3.5 cm long by 2 cm

wide by 1 cm thick, or about the size of a walnut. The ovaries get smaller

as a woman reaches menopause.

According to one doctor, calcification can be an indication that a fibroid

has degenerated and been partially replaced with calcium.

Thank you so much for the wonderful sites. Would you believe I did searches

and didn't find any of what you sent? You are such a wealth of knowledge

and I am thankful for that. Plus, you respond quickly with the information

so we aren't on pins and needles waiting. Thank you!!! :-)

temperatures regularly? still fighting with cold symptoms.

also what do you think about iodine therapy? I am very enthusiastic about it and

I am planning to start it.am I making a mistake. I know I am iodine deficient as

I am having cravings of going close to sea.

Looks like you've got it pretty well identified.

you will need a lot of iron to get that up, 150 to 200mg of elemental

iron a day in 2 doses is suggested. You need to ramp up to that dose.

You may well need a lot of potassium to get that up as well, I would

suggest you retest potassium in a couple of weeks to see if it's

moving at all on the dose you are on.

The iron will need a couple of months to get anywhere and as you need

to stop taking iron for 5 days before testing it's not worth doing it

too often.
