Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Cathy, I would suggest you go to the yahoo.groups and find the embo group. Here, all your questions about the UFE will be answered.(by women as well as IR's) This is where I began my journey on UFE and it's a great place to be if your researching everything about it. Don't wait, find an IR and get a consultation right away. I found a phenomenal IR from the group and recently had it done 1l days ago, primary reason, bleeding. I had all the same questions as you! Good luck, Jen > HI! > I am a 46 and have a several uterine fibroids. There is only one though, > that is giving me problems.
