Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I saw my gyn yesterday and he asked me why I don't want a hysterectomy? I told him that I am scared of surgery and the risks it has. I have an 8.2cm fibroid only symptom past 8years were periods where I bled heavy at least one day. Then this summer I didn't get it for 3months heaven!! But in Sept. I got it and spotted up to 23 days of course blood test showed anemia, but I'm on a good iron pill and it has helped normalize my anemia. Been on synthetic progesterone to control bleeding 10days on 5mg. last month my period was pretty bad for 24 hrs. scarry. Advil helps a lot. Now my doctor gave me prometrium for next month natural progesterone. I'm also trying vitamins B complex, & zinc, lowers estrogene increases progesterone, magnesium helps with perimena symptoms like heavy bleeding. My hormone tests showed that I was postmenapausal so I guess it's not very acurate, being that your hormone levals change on a daily basis. I am just trying to control my bleeding and hopefully make it to menapause without going through surgery, but like Diane no periods would be wonderful!!!
