Hi Caroline,

I had my UFE Oct. 21. I was having my periods every 12 days. The

embo helped me immediatly. I have only had one period so far. It took

50 days to get that one. It was very light, and only lasted 4 days. I

did have alot of spotting. Everyone is different after having UFE on

how they progress. I belong to the embo group here at yahoo. We all

have had UFE or considering it. You should join us and read all the

past info, it really has helped me. Not alot of info on it since it

is a newer proceedure.

I have not been back to have any MRIs yet, but my husband told me he

can tell the fibroid has shrunk alot! And I no longer have painful

sex.

Hope this helps some.

Good Morning Ladies! Thank you Edith, Jill and Deanna for your

replies. I must say that I do not have have spontaneous bleeding

between periods nor cramps. I was just very surprised that after my

second period after the procedure, I bleed heavily during the 2nd and

3rd days of my cycle. I look forward (not really *smile*) to the

next one to see how heavy I bleed. I am supposed to get a MRI next

month so it will be interesting to see whether the fibroids have

shrunk and by how much.

In any event, have a great day everyone!
