I was horribly anemic and once I stood up at work and had a gusher of blood drop out of me on to the floor and all over my legs and shoes. It was mortifying. I had to have my secretary take me home and then she cleaned up for me. I owe her forever.

Sorry about the TMI but It was not a good point in my life!
Not too much TMI at all! What a horrible thing to go through! I know my mother had bleeding like this, too. She had a D&C done, but it didn't help her much at all. Luckily, my bleeding isn't nearly so much as you've had to deal with. The cramping constantly bothers me, though...and that "bloated" feeling of being on my period is just always there. Makes me wonder if it's affecting my weight loss. I'm working out like a fiend, and the weight is just....staying there. I just don't get it.

Hopefully all of us with these fibroids will get full relief!!
