Fibroids and HRT

So I've been told by two separate gynaecologists that by using Hrt I am feeding my many fibroids the hormones they need to survive and therefore they will never shrink and I will continue spotting and bleeding. Their advice is to stop using the Hrt. Go cold turkey, use herbal supplements and I should enter menopause. I was even offered an antidepressant!. I'm not depressed, just fed up.

I'm 58. Started Hrt last summer after suffering many symptoms of perimenopause. Was still having monthy periods up until last spring '16. Using the Hrt I feel great.

I don't have any pain, just bloating, my uterus is the size of a 18 week pregnancy.  

Does anyone here use Hrt with fibroids? Has anyone had a similar experience or suggestions please?

    I don't know why the previous message is being moderated. I didn't say anything that interesting. I mentioned a doctors name but so did someone previously. Hope it turns up.
