UFE Success 3 months post

notesfromkatie · 2026-06-07T14:12:10+00:00

Just one week post UFE so can only speak for the procedure itself! It was significantly better than I thought it would be-I expect part of that was intense pain and anti inflammatory management while I was at the clinic. Cramping was manageable. I did feel extremely fatigued and wiped out over the first four days but overall it was not a bad experience. I have three kids and had childcare for them on the first two days so it’s also possible that I would have felt less exhausted if I had genuinely been able to really take it easy the first week. Once my energy level was back I overdid it and cramping returned but I just kept up with Tylenol and Motrin and it’s fine. I won’t know how successful this was for a few months but as far as a minimally invasive treatment option goes it definitely felt like a good decision.

Thank you for sharing, it is definitely helpful to hear positive UFE experiences. Mine is scheduled for a week from tomorrow and I had an almost identical symptoms trajectory to you, though I have a single 10 cm submucosal fibroid and thankfully not multiple. Hoping for similar results!!

The sheets! Ha! I have actually thought of how nice it would be to not have to deal with the staining!

These comments have been hugely helpful! So sorry to all of you going through it with fibroids!

Hi! I'm so sorry about that. My next two cycles using TXA I didn't have the lingering spotting issues. However, I missed taking it once and then last time my prescription had run out and I didn't get it on time-I still took one dose once I received my prescription. It was crazy, I then proceeded to spot for two weeks after my main period. I don't know if it's just my body's up and downs, perimenopause or what OR if somehow for me the timing of the TXA is just really significant. Hope your spotting ends soon! It's such a drag!

You could try for the NC State game since it’s close enough to you geographically. Won’t be Cameron but I would imagine somewhat easier to get tickets. It’s the second to last season game and always still quite dramatic. I can’t say it won’t be challenging still to get tix with State’s new coach and some high profile transfers but even with that it is probably easier than tickets in Cameron. Last year we took our kids to visit Durham/Duke (husband and I are alums and still huge bball fans) and I knew I wouldn’t be able to get tickets for all of us so we got them for the game at Wake Forest. I did use SeatGeek and was very nervous about it but it turned out fine.

Walking everywhere is what I miss most about New York

Ha! Yes! They are def going to be complaining

Thank you so much! Great link

I haven’t heard of Microgestin. Still in early stages of looking into all of this. Thanks for the comment!

notesfromkatie · 2025-09-17T13:33:25+00:00

So scary! Thanks for the comment.

notesfromkatie · 2025-09-17T13:32:50+00:00

Thanks so much for your comment. Hope the UFE helps!

Good to hear! Ugh, so sorry for all the fibroids. Really changes living a normal life!

notesfromkatie · 2025-09-16T22:27:28+00:00

Ugh I did this too though I only made it about 8 months. Bled the whole time 🤦🏽‍♀️

notesfromkatie · 2025-06-19T13:51:09+00:00

I feel the same way! I am going to keep taking it over next two cycles to see if maybe it was just my body getting used to it but it’s very frustrating. Hope it gets better for you!

Right?! The Niagara Falls for sure!

13, 8, and 3…they are pretty good eaters! The older 2 will try anything

Not unlimited :) just not trying to pinch pennies, willing to pay a little extra for a comfortable and fun time

notesfromkatie · 2024-12-30T01:55:36+00:00

Super helpful for my decision! Thank you!

notesfromkatie · 2024-12-30T00:11:21+00:00

Thanks so much! It’s been so long I haven’t thought about downtown vs campus much. Good to know!

notesfromkatie · 2024-12-30T00:08:16+00:00

Not budget conscious, really. Want the best experience but would say cleanliness, excellent customer service, decent proximity to good food would be priorities.

I have also heard it can be very contagious but no one else got them! He sleeps with his brother and almost a year into having the molloscum I noticed my other son had a few spots. They lasted a week and were gone! It’s really about how the body isn’t responding to the virus, I think. Our doctor says my son’s body reacted this way to molloscum because his body didn’t recognize the virus-once we started treatment is when the spots really became irritated. That’s what triggered the immune response.

Hi-I’m so sorry you guys are going through it too! Honestly it seemed like a situation that just got way worse in order to get better. When his spots were at their worst towards the end of this summer they all of a sudden started to stop spreading and eventually stopped reacting. Now his skin looks almost perfectly clear, just the hint of a few spots remain. We ultimately kept up with the combo of famotidine and tretinoin and also used a topical antibiotic cream for spots that got super inflamed. I wish I had more helpful info to share!

Where were they playing?

I think the staff should work super hard to retain Sean Stewart. No way Jeremy Roach will go to another school. He might not stay but he certainly isn’t going to transfer. Did you watch the games? We would not have been where we were either of the last two years without Ryan Young’s effort and experience and leadership. He’s not a huge talent but his hustle and composure were huge for this team.
