I was anemic due to the heavy bleeding and had to take iron supplements daily.... which led me to having the UFE procedure. ... this week I've been able to wear a thin pad and some days no tampon at all.... tremendous difference for me.... bleeding is minimal.... something I can live with.... will keep u posted.... oh... I forgot to mention my post procedure recovery. ... The first 8 days were awful. .. made me wonder if I had made the right decision. ... by day 11 I felt great and returned to work....

That's awesome!! My bleeding decreased but not enough.

I have couple of questions if I may ask.... did u say all your fibroids weren't embolized? And you didn't have the contrast on the initial MRI?... what was your hesitation about having the contrast and now that you know there all are more fibroids will you go through the embolization to get the remaining fibroids

My initial MRI before UFE was without contrast. They just didn't have me get it. One I just got had contrast. It should a fibroid not completely embolized. I believe it's my dominant one

You sure were non-compliant! You didn't comply with their revenue add up! The procedure had to be done by a different specialist! I am beginning to HATE this medical "business"! I saw 3 ObGyns and the 4th one, who was an out of state doc and had to revenue interest in my illness spilled the beans about UFE!!!! Go figure!
