Can I Get Pregnant When Being Anemic And Having Fibroids?

I am 34 yrs old,5'2,118 lbs,2 kids ages 7 and 12.My last period was on 8/22/11(previous period on 7/22/11) 3 or 4 days late,which was unusual.It was also lighter with minimal cramping.I have been feeling some pregnancy symptoms like nausea,sore sensitive breasts with burning sensations on the sides,twinges in abdomen here and there.Last night when I layed down to go to bed,I suddenly started cramping in the lower right abdomen,moving to the middle,briefly on the left,some centralized back pain.The pain was mostly in the lower right abdomen and it lasted for about 2 hours,it felt like my period was coming again.I decided to go to the ER today to see why I had the pain last night.With my first pregnancy,I did not find out until 12 wks and with my second at 8 wks because I still have what seems to be a period.I told the doctor about this,along with my symptoms.She ordered a pregnancy test,she checked me out vaginally,and ordered an ultrasound.During the vaginal examination,she said the side where I was not complaining of pain was a little swollen,possibly an ovarian cyst.After the ultrasound,she said I was not pregnant,but had fibroids and I'm severely anemic,almost needing a blood transfusion.I'm wondering if I could still be pregnant and if being anemic or having fibroids could make the pregnancy undetectable at this time.Physically,I do feel pregnant,but not mentally because I'm confused about what's really going on.If you have any possible answers,I would feel so much better.

hi healthcare magic user, please get a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy or other option is get blood test called serum BHCG to confirm pregnancy. if report is negative then definitely cyst and fibroid is cause for continuous bleeding .
you need to see location of fibroid and treat it before planning for baby.
