Hi Lori, thank you for replying. I do have regular periods.
Occaisionally, I spotted mid-cycle. Other than that, they're like
clockwork and I can predict the day my cycle will begin.
As far as they fibroid is concerned, they won't remove it until it gets
to at least 5 cm.
Thanks again for sharing your experiences.
