Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 All, Today I had my 6 month post UAE ultrasound. Today I consider my UAE about 58% successful. I'll explain. The three things I wanted/needed to fix w/ UAE was: 1) blood clots and heavy bleeding; 2) Urination frequency; 3) fibroid/stomach reduction. I translate this to 100% success = 33% + 33% + 33%. I no longer have blood clots and heavy bleeding = 33%. I've gained 2 hours sleep which is now 6 hrs maximum sleep w/o having to pee = 15% (I want 8 hours of sleep.). My stomach is mostly all there, but I have achieved 65% volume reduction in fibroid; pre 8/1/01 my fibroid was ~10cm, had UAE on 8/1/01; 3 months post UAE my fibroid was ~8cm; today my fibroid measured ~7cm. = I'll give this 10% success. So I consider my UAE ~58% successful at 6 months post UAE. I'm praying to the " UAE gods " for heavy discharge in the hope my fibroid will slough and BE GONE!!!!! My discharge is mostly light, I only get a little on about the 8th day after my first day of period. I have a mostly subserosal fibroid, partly intramural. - Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Debbie, Thanks for sharing your " good news " story. I plan on having my UAE in abt 3-4 weeks. I too have large, symptomatic intramural fibroids (others too, but the intramural are causing the bulk symptoms which give me the most grief) Good to hear about sleeping better. Last night I got up at least twice that I remember to go pee. Luckily I usually can get back to sleep after that. I just hope & pray I get the good results you and others have had. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes, Elise. Debra Armendariz wrote: All, Today I had my 6 month post UAE ultrasound. Today I consider my UAE about 58% successful. I'll explain.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Debbie, Congratulations on your UAE success. I am glad yourresults are positive. I cant wait to have my MYO done to relieve my fibroid symptoms. I am hoping my frequent urination and heavy bleeding mostly will dissolve. Again congrats on your success!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Hi Debbie, I really like your mathematical approach to fibroids and UAE results. I am having embolization on Thursday. I am feeling nervous now. I am taking Wednesday off work to get myself ready (emotionally ) to this procedure. I hope my results will be positive. Thank you for your experience.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Nina, Good Luck to you with your upcoming UAE. I plan to have UAE in a few weeks, the drs are comparing notes to be sure that is the right thing for me to do, but I believe it is. I am sure I will be scared & nervous too. You will be in my thoughts & prayers. Be sure to let us know how things go. All the best to you- Elise.
