Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Dear Ladies: I had a 3-month follow up appointment with my gyno today. I last saw her in November, and at that time she wanted to do a hysterectomy, but at the time I convinced her to let me try the " watchful waiting " approach. My fibroid was (then) appx. 11.7cm, (appx. 18 week uterus size) even though I had UAE in 1/03. As I posted before, I began taking herbs & supplements in December 2003 - Vitex, DIM Plus, Maitake Mushroom, Shiitake Mushroom, Flaxseed Oil, (extra Vitamin E), and Essiac Tea. My fibroid is now down to 8.5cm. x 9cm x 6.5cm. and a 10-12 week uterus size. But, since I am 49 and very much perimenopausal (very erratic periods), I can't really say if the shrinkage is due to perimenopause, or the herbs & supplements, OR a combination of both. Just wanted to share this with you. Edie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
