Guest guest Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Hi, I am Nicole. I am new to this group. I need some help. Anyone know anything that is good for Fibroids. I also have a bad case of Pica which I am sure aggravates my fibroids and aids in their growth. I look forward to any and all answers.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Nicole, You CAN have children if you have fibroids. I have 2 fairly large ones. I got pregnant and had a miscarriage (lots of first pregnancies end in miscarriage). I had some testing done, and they told me I should really have them removed if I wanted to have normal pregnancies. Well, I was scheduled to have the surgery, and the day before my insurance company decided they wouldn't cover it cause it was pre-existing. So, we decided to put if off for 6 months, and my husband decided to keep trying for a baby. Well, about 2 months before we were going to think about the surgery again, I got pregnant. I carried full term, easy pregnancy, natural labor, and a beautiful 8 lb boy. When he was 10 months old, I got pregnant again, another full term, natural labor, 9 lb healthy boy. Everyone is different, not sure where your fibroid is located in your uterus (mine are up at the top) or how big, but don't let them tell you it's impossible to have kids, it IS POSSIBLE!!

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 I second this- my sister had two fibroids as well, they were big enough that she looked pregnant even when she was not...and she conceived without any sort of intervention (besides that of her husband (SMILE!)) and had a beautiful full term baby girl. I think she weighed almost six pounds, and was healthy as can be.. She did go through an early menopause, which they said was related to the fibroids somehow... Peace, Khadijah P.S. Your reply made me smile- I wonderid if it was two fairly large fibroids, or fairly large children!! herbal remedies , " progressive7862 " <allens717@c...> wrote: > > > Nicole, > You CAN have children if you have fibroids.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 It made me laugh, too. I re-read what I wrote after it had posted. Either way, it's true! I wonder sometimes about early menopause also. I'm 42 and things seem to be starting to get weird, with cycles changing and sometimes feeling like I have mild hot flashes. I need to look into it.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Yes, I still have them. I think they rarely go away on their own until menopause when the hormonal changes cause them to shrink. I believe they've told me my uterus is the size of a 6 or 7 week pregnancy because of them. And they got a bit larger during my pregnancies. What have you been told about yours, size wise and location?

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Pica can be a sign of deficiency in iron, zinc and electrolytes, particularly iron. Fybroids can also cause heavy use of iron, resulting in even lower stores. Could you get your blood checked? I have had problems with low iron, and strange eating habits. When I had iron injections, problem cured! I do not have fibroids to drain my iron reserves though, with me it is inflammation in the small intestine. I do not absorb dietry iron well.
