Hey. I just had to have a blood transfusion because of my fibroids. I started taking progestin to control the bleeding since it thin the lining. The docs been trying to encourage me to get a hysterectomy but I refuse. Doctors won't explain how to stop from growing. Doesn't make sense.
From research, dairy sugar and beef could be the main cause. My mother rarely eat meat and she had the lightest cycle. Meat helped my iron levels, but I was losing hemoglobin faster.
Did you have to have iron infusions? I’ve been getting suggestions for hysterectomy for over 10 years…from multiple Dr.’s and you are right - in all these years they act like they have no idea how to keep them from growing or to shrink them - like, is anyone doing actual research on this very common problem???
@LifeDailyShonda when I had the blood transfusions, they gave me iron infusions too. I went from a 3 level to 11. The blood gave me immediate relief. I have so much energy now, but scared to see what the progestin will do after a month. I'm taking the pills instead of IUD.
@@shellisawilliams6410 interesting…I wonder why no one has ordered me a transfusion…even when my hemoglobin was really low - they only do the infusions. I’m gonna ask my hematologist about this!
I'm 6 monthes out from UFE at Columbia Radiology- best decision ever!!!
How was your recovery? How long until you could drive/go about your regular routine?
Awesome!

@@shellisawilliams6410I noticed when I am fasting my cycle is super light…so I do know it def has to do with certain foods.
