Janet, over 10 years ago I was diagnosed with fibroids and told that eventually I'd have to have a hysterectomy. I refused then and every dr I went to over the years. They got larger and larger till finally I found myself fainting and being taken from work in an ambulance twice. My iron fell so low that I needed 3 blood transfusions in one night before I agreed to consider surgery, but I still refused a hysterectomy. My new Gyn told me about a fertility dr that does not accept insurance and I consulted with him, who said that he could remove the tumor without a hysterectomy. I told my insurance company, who then reimbursed me for that visit and found a Reproductive Endocrinologist that gave me an injection of Lupron to stop the bleeding, then a quick, sometimes outpatient surgery called a Myomaectomy (?). My total out of pocket cost was under $500. That was 3/31/03 and I haven't had a cramp or a period last more than 2 days since! I haven't been doubled over in pain ONCE since then! I feel like I was reborn that day. You should consider it.Replied By Joyce (Joelton, Tn) on 06/17/2008
Hi Janet from Kitchener, Ontario, I remember reading in EC that someone used cayenne pepper to stop bleeding. You might try adding some cayenne pepper to your BSM & see if it stops or slows the bleeding.Replied By Karen (St. Louis, USA) on 08/09/2008
I tried the BSM and it worked okay, but I tried the ACV and I hardly have any bleeding. I use to pass clots and bleed so heavy and now I hardly have any bleeding. I drink it in a glass of water. I didn't think anything would work.Replied By Princess (Raleigh, North Carolina) on 09/17/2008
This is to Janet from Canada. You mentioned you are taking Ortho Lo, I was on that! You may want to do further research because I have found that Estrogen FEEDS fibroids. It will make you bleed more and that is why nothing seems to be working. And if you drink cow's milk/cheese etc. that is even more Estrogen, depending on where it comes from since you live in Canada. Try to avoid all fried and processed foods as well. I hope you read this before surgery!Replied By Sherry (Longview, Washington) on 10/10/2008
My heavy bleeding and clotting is now under control. I am taking Yarrow to dissolve the fibroids, Maca root (is non-estrogen) to balance my hormones naturally and not feed the fibroids. I also take three teaspoon fulls of black strap molasses a day. I tried taking Apple Cider Vinager too but it was flushing out everything else I was using and my negative symptoms came back. Keeping some Shepard's Purse around for acute bleeding works. I add drops of it to a glass of water and it works within 15 mintes to stop the heavy bleeding. I haven't had to use now that things seem to be under control. I cut out the Apple Cider Vinager and now the bleeding is under control. It is a shame It can't use the Apple Cider vinager. It does help keep weight off. Maybe, after I go through the change someday, I can use the ACV.Replied By Veronica (Union City, Pa) on 12/23/2016
Cayenne and Cinnamon does work to slow/stop the bleeding from fibroids. It is what I'm using right now. I normally don't comment but I know how scary it is to bleed out with the huge clots. Blood transfusions aren't fun either because of bleeding so much, done them.Replied By Veronica (Atlanta, Ga) on 03/09/2017
Veronica,
What method do you take of Cayenne and Cinnamon? Powder or pill? And how often?
