I am hoping to try Esmya (not necessarily with a view to having a myomectomy as I am undecided) but mainly to shrink them for symptom reduction and to have a safer pregnancy when I start trying. My borough in London doesn't offer this on the NHS and I can find many private docs who do. Which areas if the country were you prescribed Esmya on the NHS? And does anyone know any private docs that do this?
Thanks

The first time I had them for 9 months(at the time the licence was only valid for taking them for 3 months, but I understand this has been extended now)
After the first 6 weeks, my fibroid reduced by 30%, and over the 9 month period, the thickness of my uterus improved greatly, ready for Myomectomy.
They do receommend it up here, prior to surgery.
You can still get pregnant with myomectomy.

Was this a hospital Gynae consultant who you requested this from? I think it needs to initially be from them rather than a GP. I am outside of London still in the south east of england. The licencing applies in the UK so that shouldn't have a bearing. If you are having difficulty take some information from the internet proving it is licensed for intermittent use of fibroids. The information is finding its way through to hospitals and only in the last few months, some may be more behind than others. Just keep trying gynaecologists, you must be able to get it even if privately especially if you are going to pay, but don't pay if you don't have to as it costs about £400 for a 3 month course I believe. Good luck.

But after the ultrasound this week following the three-month Esmya, my consultant wanted to switch to Zoladex injectionsDisappointingly, Esmya didn’t work for me, sorry, girls, for not having good news to share.
