Fibroids- natural shrinking-anyone?

View Full Post

I am 42 yrs old, dh is 40. Got married when I was 34. God, I wish we've done something right than. At that age it would be much easier. But since I already had kids from my first marriage we did not even think there would be a problem.
Well around 1 year ago I had 3 clomid cycles - nothing :(
Used vitamins, fertility supplements, tea, softcups...clearblue OPK---nothing.
Finally we decided to see a fertility specialist. Just around that time we lost our health insurance.
Anyway, we were gonna use our savings (all of it) to do the IVF.
So far, testing costs were $2,500. I was told that there are 2 fibroids inside the uterus and 1 outside the wall. They are around 1" in size.
So, prior to any fertility procedure I should remove fibroids, The cost is $8,500!!!!!!
I really lost my hope.
Came across some online stories about natural herbal supplements that help to shrink fibroids,
Have any of you ladies used that method? If so what have you used? Have you conceive after that?

Sorry for making it too long.

Thanks for your help......baby dust to all

Ive just been reading an website that suggests that taking vitex may help prevent fibroids growing any bigger - maybe help you chances of conception too

I'm thinking it is a good thing I am taking vitex to ttc now as I had a fibroid that grew with my last pregnancy (didn't affect the baby) and then shrunk again after the pregnancy
