I’ve been on PREMPRO (the lowest dose;.3mg/1.5mg) for about 3wks now and started bleeding lightly on Wed. until tonight in which I started bleeding heavy with fairly large clots. I’ve gone through two maxi pads in two hours and will probably fill a third. I should probably mention that I had uterine artery embolization done 4 months ago for fibroids. The last MRI showed they were dorment and not causing any problems. Should I be worried about this heavy bleeding?
I’m 42, so it’s not common for my age to have ovarian failure, but my hot flashes didn’t start until 3mos after my UAE, and I missed my period as well. I may get my periods back naturally, but I think this is estrogen induced by the horome pills.
It was over 60 days since my last real period.
Your right about UAE messing with periods, and I also heard hot flashes can be common right after UAE, so you may be OK. With me, I had 2 periods, then missed period, had hot flashes and an elavated FSH level of >50. Still in 3mos, I will go off HTR and see if I get my periods naturally. I hope everything works out for you and that your fibroids shrink and die. I wish you the best!

i have been operated thrice for ovarian chocalate cyst. now having cyst in the posterior wall of the uterus. I am taking Meftal Spas at that time. Is it dangerous?

Hi. Has anyone had treatment for uterine fibroids? If so, did they work? Did you have children during or after these cursed things? My daughter has gone through the procedure of having the blood vessels blocked to them but new ones are now growing. Dreadful problem. please help

doctors have suggested for the removal of the uterus. I wanted to know whether the operation is safe and if there are any side-effects.We live in Noida….also please suggest good hospitals…please help me!

Hi everyone,

I am wanting to start exercising but I don’t quite know where to start or what to do. I have PCOS and fibroid tumors, both of which cause a lot of pain. Sometimes, even stretching a certain way causes a lot of pain, therefore making it difficult to exercise. I am going to get a treadmill for walking (I can’t go outside very well) but until I can do so, I would like to know if anyone has any other ideas?

Thank you for your help!

I was recently diagnosed as having a very large (grapefruit size) uterine tumor or fibroid. I have been reviewing and researching the possible options to have it removed, which consist of hysterectomy, myomectomy, and uterine artery embolization. I am 25years old and WANT to have children. I have defenitely scratched out the hysterectomy and am considering the myomectomy. Basically, my question is, is there anyone who has had this procedure done and has had children, or does anyone know of someone who has been in this situation and was successful at conceiving children. Having children is a must for me. Please someone help me, I am so lost, and very scared!!!

Before you say it’s a UTI, it’s not. It’s also not an std. It’s just one tiny spot that feels like a stabbing piercing burning feeling on the right side but not far over enough to be an ovary. I have a fibroid on the left side. I’ll be making an appt. to see my gyn but just wondered if anyone has had any similiar kind of pinching pain that comes and goes and know what it might be?
