I went through the same thing you are...so I have good news and bad news...

I was anemic also, went through an overnight pad every half hour. Tried working but it was all too messy and embarrassing, and employers generally don't want you to work three weeks out of the month.

My doctor found fibroids and scheduled a hysterectomy, which I backed out of the night before. I found another doctor who told me the same. I did some research on my own and found a procedure called a UFE....a uterine fibroid embolization. They stop the blood from reaching the fibroid, effectively killing it off. Radiologists do them.

Anyway, had it done and it was considered a "clinical success"....which means that what the doctors did technically worked. It just didn't stop the excessive bleeding. However that doesn't mean that MOST women find relief without resorting to having organs removed, if that's not your first choice of treatment.

Let me know if you have any questions.
