Re: Taking BCP's continuously

[Guest guest]

Therese,

Thanks so much for taking the time to write out your experience!

I've printed it and it's going into my " Fibroid folder " -- my attempt

to keep track of all the key info I'm finding in my journey through

this group and internet searches.

I'm on Loestrin Fe 1.5/30, similar to yours. I'll have my fibroid

treated in a month or two. It'll either be removed through

hysteroscopic resection or embolization, depending on what my

hysterosonogram on the 26th shows, and what I can get these military

docs to agree to. They're concerned about the effects of embo on

fertility, since there aren't any studies to go by.
