BJ, you have me totally confused! I read, at Dr. Rick's website http://www.wdxcyber.com that it is actually progesterone (I don't remember whether he said alone or in addition to estrogen) which causes fibroids to increase/grow in size?!? I may also consider trying out the progesterone cream (just got off bc pill a few months ago and STILL have not had a period). I, too, have a history of endo/endo surgery.
