    I had the procedure done July 26. My symptoms have subsided completely, hopefully it stays that way. I had breakthrough bleeding until my first cycle. my first period was 2 weeks ago started on a Wednesday was heavy but not as bad as I've been bleeding w some clots and cramping which I had Thursday as well, it ended Friday like I was back to normal. no more breakthrough bleeding or anything I feel back to normal.

    I hope you get results, we'll really see w my next cycle.

    Sorry Millie-

            I have had it done twice, both times it did nothing. Depends on your situation and what is going on in the uterus. My friend had one, and it stopped her period for over a year. Time will tell. So you have fibroids ?

      Wow, I'm sorry to hear you have so many. So you can't do the UFE because of the quantity? Was this the only other alternative outside of having a hysterectomy

    I could use some positive stories!!

     I have an appointment Thursday to go over my ultrasound. (cause I can't see how anything else can be done down there) I want to get scheduled for my MRI for my UFE. I guess I should listen and see what other options are presented for me specifically.
