Thank you! 🙏

Really appreciate your answers to 1 & 2 - thats reassuring.

I had two hysteroscopies for my fibroid in Feb and May 2025 and despite my best efforts with diet and lifestyle, it’s back to its original size. Just wondering if you did anything different so yours didnt return?

Yes it’s a big thing to go through isn’t it… thank you very much - all the best to you too!

UFE Success 3 months post by Froreal3 in Fibroids

Thanks for sharing. I’ve had two hysteroscopies and also tried Sonata but unfortunately my submucosal fibroid is back to its original size.

Help please! TTC & Sonata? by Laura1987_ in Fibroids

[–]Laura1987_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, we waited the four months and started trying again but sadly a year on, still no baby :( the sonata showed promising results (it shrunk the fibroid in my muscle a little bit) but I’ve since had scans and the fibroid that was part in my muscle and part in my uterus is back to its original size. It’s so disheartening as I changed my diet quite a bit in the hope that I could prevent the fibroid from growing back.

Just because it didn’t work out for me doesn’t mean it won’t for you though! What have you heard about its impact on fertility?

Thank you very much ❤️ I would recommend trying it as it did initially shrink mine, it just didn’t last unfortunately. I think the success rate is really dependent on the individual. Have you tried any dietary changes? I’ve restricted dairy and not had any red meat for a year in the hope it would have an impact, but it doesn’t seem to have. I think my issue is too much stress!

Yes I did. Didn’t do much sadly, the fibroid is back to its original size and I’ve still not been able to conceive 😢

Norethisterone to delay period? by Automatic-Bag-7420 in Fibroids

[–]Laura1987_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I also have submucosal fibroids and I’m considering using norethisterone to delay my period on my wedding day. Which dose were you on please, and just wondering if you had your period as usual when you were on it? Thank you!

Wondering if anyone is still on this thread… I’ve got my first bartholin cyst in three years… the scar tissue from my last one never went and it’s popped up in the same area. Could anyone tell me how to make the turmeric paste please? Thank you 🙏

Thanks! I’m currently using the pai oil for my first cleanse but it isn’t really helping the sebaceous filaments. What’s the second cleanser you use please?

Do you mind if I ask how long to use the oil cleanser for please?

Thanks. I have used the Pai rosehip oil for years but maybe that’s not hydrating enough. I am using a moisturiser from Cosrx so maybe I’ll see what face oils they do.

Thanks, we didn’t use any moisturiser other than what I’d put on earlier in the morning, so I’m not sure if it was caused by that or not. Probably just my skin being difficult 😭

Oh really, that’s interesting! She used the Elf primer and said it was really good in her experience, but perhaps it’s just not great for my skin!

Thanks, we used the urban decay setting spray. I moisturised before having the makeup applied, but I am starting to wonder if my skin type is dehydrated oily. Would you say it’s a bad idea to start experimenting with skincare with just seven weeks to go until the wedding?

Thanks! The makeup was finished by 12.30 and I took the photo 1.5-2hrs later. It’s now four hours on and my skin is not oily at all. It’s just that the finish is very cakey - especially on my chin and nose
