Im 41 and found out last March that I have several fibroids. One is the size of a softball! I have heavy bleeding with huge blood clots that sometimes lasts 2 weeks. I also have breakthrough bleeding some months. I am on a low hormone birth control pill. They are taking over my life! I am a teacher and have to constantly leave my classroom to change my tampon and pad. Sometimes I'm changing them every hour. I also feel some pressure/heaviness in my lower abdomen. Sometimes I don't even want to leave my house. I'm starting to get depressed. I've done several things to try and help. I've lost almost 40 lbs, I drink ACV daily, I take milk thistle, DIM plus, fibroid supplement, ginger root capsules, iron pills, and have eliminated meat, sugar, dairy, carbs. I haven't noticed any changes yet and it's been 5 months. What else can I do?? Please help!

    Hi, i also have this problem. Just had UFE procedure three in a half weeks ago after suffering for about 8 years. I can definitely relate. Running to the bathroom so frequently if not with heavy periods its because an 8cm fibroid is pressing on my bladder. I suffered with this for about 4 years before i started bc pills. Was on them for about 18 months. Did help with the heavy periods but had side effects. As soon as i went off all of symptoms returned. And for the last couple of years i explored my options. Did not want a hysterectomy, was scheduled for a myomectomy but the surgeon

      abruptly left the prqctice. I used to take ibuprofen every four hours. That semed to lessen the flow. Also black strip molasses. It has iron and helps with the anemia.
