ok, so it feels like there is a tampon in me but there isn't, i'm not even on my period. it just feels like there is a bulge there.

Has any one had fibroids, if so, what symptoms did you have

[shyan]

at first i thought i was ovulated too, but it has been going on for about a week and i didn't think that ovulation lasted that long.
i do have an appointment w my gyno, but i have to wait, it is just really bothersome.
thankx,

Shyan:
If you look at the female anatomy charts on the links I posted, you can see that the urinary bladder lies against the anterior (front) wall of the vagina.
So it is possible that the bladder is bulging into the vagina.

You can make an appointment with a gynocologist for an examination.  He/she should be able to tell you what is wrong, and what can be done about it.

Regarding the mucous, when you ovulate your uterus will secrete a thick clear mucous, stringy like eggwhite.
Fourteen days after you ovulate, your menstrual period will begin.
Regular secretions from the cervix, or opening of the uterus, will be a patchy white mucous.
So what you describe sounds normal.

oh, and there is also a think white, mucus stuck to the left side of my vagina, it dosen't fall out but i can pull it out, and it's really stringy, but it dosen't smell at all.

it's not a uterine prolapse, i can feel my cervix even though i feel something hard on it.
i'm starting to think it's a bladder prolapse.
when i stick my finger up there i feel a soft spot on my anterior wall, in the area where the cyst isn't.
anyway, when i stuck my finger in there and pushed on it it makes me need to go pee, it really feels like i'm pushing on my bladder.
is this normal??
thankx,

Shyan:
Hmmm, I wonder if what you're describing could be uterine prolapse?
It may feel like you are "sitting on something" when you sit down.

Not sure if this will help, but you can get Bartholin cysts in your vaginal glands. Check out this website, it may be helpful.
