► Hair Color:
This a custom color job, created by a stylist at a salon, using a professional system not available in beauty supply stores and which requires a valid cosmetology license to purchase--no I do not know the name. It cannot be recreated precisely and the shade looks different on me every time she touches it up since she blends it up on the spot and it changes shades every time I wash my hair.
Bleach was not used. We have been lifting my hair lighter and lighter over time using developer (which is not bleach) since October of 2015. I will not post a video on how to color because I am not a licensed cosmetologist and I will not give directions on how to use chemicals that I do not have a good understanding of. If you'd like help with achieving this color, please consult a LICENSED professional who specializes in natural hair because coloring will alter your hair and can damage depending on your texture and the process.

Vitamin D deficiency has proven to be a factor in fibroid growth in black women. That's the only bit of research that has shown major results in shrinking and preventing fibroids from increasing Vitamin D3. Thank you for sharing your experience!! 😊 ❤
Thank you
I really don’t know why this vitamin D thing keeps coming up because people who live in hot/sunny climates, like on the continent of Africa still get fibroids. And they get a lot of vitamin D. 🤷🏾♀️
@@user-dw5qw9rs7msame I’m from South Florida and Haitian. I stayed in the sun.
@@user-dw5qw9rs7mexactly!
I was told it was too much estrogen being produced. Never heard about Vitamin D being an issue.
I've been a follower of yours for years so about a year and half ago I noticed my stomach getting bigger and remembered your story so I went to my OB and she confirmed I had fibroids.
I'm currently two weeks post op today and I had a robotic laparoscopic myomectomy with five incisions, removed 9 fibroids.
Thank you for sharing your story cause it definitely helped me!
I had a UAE earlier this year and while the procedure was minimally invasive (they used wire to emobilize the fibroids through my groin), the pain of the tumors dying was intense because of the size of my fibroids. My surgeon advocated for me to have an overnight stay with a morphine drip, since immeditaly after the procedure is when the pain is excruciating. The worst of my pain was handled at the hospital and I was on extra strength Tylenol for the remaining week. My back pain disappeared, my period shortened from 5 heavy days in a 7 day cyle to 3 heavy days in a 7 day cycle and the change in energy was immediate. I highly recommend it for those who are afraid of the open myomectomy surgery. I was awake for the procedure but under twilight anesthesia. It was life-changing for me. I don't have any hardness in my abdomen anymore and I think they're all gone. I go back in October for an MRI to check on them but as expected, the tumors have shrunken to the point I am not impacted by them.
Do you mind sharing where you had your UFE??
Can you plz tell me,r U planning pregnancy I mean I want to get UFE procedure but I'm afraid of infertility
Thank you for Sharing your experience with UFE. I’m due for my UFE at end of March 2024. I’m looking forward to it as my stomach is really distended. I have multiple fibroids and now my largest is now measuring 6cm which is good as it was 8cm last year. I’m hoping and praying all goes well with no complications. I guess I can address everything in the pre procedure meeting on the 12th March. Wish me luck 😬
@@SassyO100Please keep us posted. The only reason I don't want the normal surgery is because of scaring like what the video shows and they can't get all of them.
@@NovaDoll just had UFE 4 days ago and I’m glad I did. The shrinkage will be over time so I. The next 3-6 mths or 12 mths. It not immediate but I’d rather that then invasive surgery with long recovery and the likely hood the fibroids will grow back. Scare tissue was a no no for me so it was always going to be UFE. I’m in the no pain zone after day four and just discomfort. So hears to healing!!
I really appreciate this video! I just had surgery to remove 18 fibroids in all and am learning that many women experience this issue! Your videos have really helped me through this time. I have had fibroids for years and was told repeatedly by my nurse practitioner that she did not see a need to have them removed. Last year (2022), I asked for a referral to an OBGYN and she gave me one. The initial OBGYN did an ultrasound and referred me to another OBGYN because the ultrasound results were not clear and she only had experience with doing an open myomectomy. I scheduled my initial surgery with the second OBGYN, but that got canceled because she ended up resigning from that position. I managed to set up surgery with a third OBGYN. They estimated a total of 10 fibroids to remove from a previous MRI, but ended up removing a total of 18. I was also put on an iron supplement two months prior to surgery due to the heavy bleeding from fibroids causing me to become anemic. My surgery was on September 7, 2023 and I am currently at home recovering. My recovery is going well and I look forward to seeing how things go.
GOD will keep you
Was this laparoscopic surgery?
Thanks for sharing
Did you experience numbness around the incision, because on the 4th day out of no where it started to feel numb?
THANK YOU, thank you, thank you!! Your honesty in sharing your journey is so inspiring, as well as your continuous reminder not to judge those of us with fibroids and our choices to manage/rid ourselves of them. Every BODY is different, and there is still so much unknown. It’s important to share our stories, remedies, and changes that may help and then for each of us to make decisions for ourselves.
I’m a 53yo, peri-menopausal, white woman, and I suffered from massive fibroids for so long, I nearly died. That was completely avoidable, but there can be so much shame in it (and menstruation) in general, many of us ignore the symptoms so much longer than we have to. In my case, FAR too long!
I’m soooooo happy you had that thorough exam and found out when you did! Especially with your kidneys starting to be affected. For me, I didn’t use a GYN for years (I have an amazing one now!), and my symptoms were dismissed by a male Primary as “bad periods”, ie just deal with it-something my generation in general does-believe me, it isn’t heroic!
On Oct 10, 2022, after being weak and progressively sicker for several months but still pushing myself because of “work”, I collapsed. Because it was a holiday in MA, it was 22 hours later before my “work” called in a wellness check on Tues when I didn’t show up or respond to calls. By then, I was unresponsive, in kidney failure (fibroids pressing on them for so long), severely anemic from bleeding steadily for too long, septic, and in the last stage of hypothermia. Doctors later told me if it had taken one more hour, it would have been too late. In fact, they were shocked I’d made it as long as I did and started responding.
This is a cautionary tale only and one that ends with good health and joy!!! There is absolutely NO REASON fibroids should result in this!!! My situation was the result of many factors, mostly pushing myself, not putting myself first, and ignoring my body both out of some delusion of powering through cramps, etc, and DENIAL due to FEAR.
A year later and lots of recovery both mental and physical, I am well in mind and (mostly) in body-still some healing and watchfulness to do there.
I still have the fibroids, and my journey with that is different mostly because of my age as menopause seems to dry them up, and I wasn’t strong enough for surgery last year while recovering. I consider Oct 11 now my birthday in a way that is more meaningful than the day I was born because that’s the day I was rescued and eventually came back. That’s the day I started my journey of true wellness which includes knowledge, listening to my body, and PUTTING MYSELF FIRST!!
Again, thank you so much for sharing your story so openly, including the photos! We definitely need to talk about this more for so many reasons!!
PS: I totally get why you asked your GYN if you’d lose the belly after surgery!! I did too!! :) I miss my waist but am slowly getting it back. Plus, that weight is REAL and uncomfortable, causing lower back pain, etc.
I had an open myomectomy surgery as well. 7 to 8 total fibroids were removed. Since I had my baby (8 weeks ago) I was informed I now have 2 fibroids. Diet does play a MAJOR role and I will get serious about my diet soon.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and your update. You give those of us who are preparing for myomectomy so much hope and encouragement
Welcome back! Missed your videos!❤ glad you’re doing well
I’m 1 week post op and your videos have been so helpful for me. Our stories are so similar. Thank you for sharing!! 🙏🏽🫶🏽
I am having a robotic myomectomy in a couple of months. Doing it so I can have successful pregnancy. Thanks for the info! Wish me luck!
God will be with you
Did you have your procedure yet? Would love to hear about your experience!
Thank you for all of these videos sis!! Love you for this ❤
First cmon skin!! Thank you for your transparency. This update was really appreciated ❤
So glad you are doing well. I miss seeing your hair videos. Praying for you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤❤
Thanks so much for the update ! I first watched your videos when I found out I had a grapefruit-sized fibroid last year and they were so helpful. I’m finally going to get a myomectomy this fall. Glad to see that you are doing well ❤️
Daye, I haven’t finished the video yet but I’d just like to thank u sooo much for ur openness & transparency. I saw ur first vids about ur Myomectomy journey & had this in my mind as I started dealing with my own unfortunate fibroid journey last yr. After a yr of every variation of hormone therapy (BC), my bleeding was out of control & I eventually opted for a hysterectomy. I just had my procedure on June 5th & I had no idea that my uterus weighed 8x’s it’s normal weight, & that I had more fibroids than they could count. I’m only 35 but It was the best decision I could’ve made for myself. Ur journey inspired me to be forthcoming with my own, & so many women have relayed their own experiences to me on dealing with the same thing. We absolutely must talk more about this & ur highlighting of this subject is very much appreciated 😌🙏🏾
Just had my surgery yesterday and im super soreee. Thanks for this video❤
Thank you for your update! Your first video encouraged me to actually do something about mine! I had about ten and eight of them were in my uterus and two were huge, so i had to have a hysterectomy...which i was totally more than okay with. Im currently a few weeks away from a year in recovery. I have a 6 or 8 in vertical scar, so it starts at the very top oc my navel to right in the top of my hips and its healed so well, that you can barely see it. I had to wear dresses for a few months because everything was so tender internally that pants were just suuuuper uncomfortable. But! I'm doing great, just trying to find and maintain a good weight. My uterus was 10lbs and i lost about 8 and been fluctuating between 8 and 10lbs, but i think i got it figured out now that i can do my yoga again 😅 it was and interesting year, but I'm so glad for my doctor, because she did her THANG!! And i so glad for my decision (didn’t want kids anyway so this was a blessing). But I'm also glad you're doing well, you inspired me to get up and actually DO something, thank you Daye! 🙌🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thank you for keeping us posted on your journey, it’s much appreciated. For keloid scars keep on self massage and if you can find someone who does this then even better. I don’t naturally get keloid scars but have used self massage for any type of scaring. It’s the daily consistency that is key.
I missed you girl. I am happy that you are doing well. This is something I have not heard of so thank you for informing us, the lady's in the comments, thank y'all as well ❤❤❤❤❤
Miss you and my UA-cam fam as well!
Thank you for being this awareness and educating people on this. I’m glad because I’m about to have the same procedure. ❤
use Agbara Herbal Powder and OSAKIRISA HERBAL SEED to cure and shrunk your Fibroid.,Remember Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on a woman's uterus.
Sometimes these tumors become quite large and cause severe abdominal
pain and heavy periods, pelvic pain, miscarriages. In other cases, they
cause no signs or symptoms at all. The growths are typically benign, or
noncancerous.But With Agbara Herbal Medication, This will Be completely
cured,,,,Remember surgery does not removed or cured Fibroid,
Hey boo welcome back! Thank you so much for sharing. I had a c section and my scar keloid as well but I also get Brazilians and I realized that a lot was attributed to ingrown so when I had my esthetician go in and remove the ingrown the swelling or keloid went down drastically. That’s just what my experience. So glad to know you are doing well!
Aw I’m glad you were able to get it done! The way my keloid is, it def wasn’t ingrown hairs plus I wax every 2-3 weeks lol. But it’s significantly better!
I’m glad you’re ok.
I show gratitude for sharing.
Thank you so much for support!
I’m currently working to heal mine naturally because I’m scared to get the surgery. I’m so happy that more women are sharing their experiences and journeys so that we can all educate ourselves on them. So many women don’t even know what they are ! This lady said her 15 y.o daughter had a 20 cm fibroid! Crazy! Thank you for sharing your update with us!
0:01 Hi 👋 Queen I’ve been living with fibroid & cyst 😰for more than 5years now but I got rid of it naturally after using dromo herbal medicines his UA-cam channel 👉 dromocure
Im want to heal mine im scared too but i want them out but im post enopausr
What’s the difference between a sonogram and ultra sound
I invite to our hospital, a team of indian experts physician will be around from 20-25 Nov for laparoscopic myomectomy. Advantage is not open surgery, less painful, less pain medication, less hospital stay. Choose freedom from fibroid now and enjoy your life.
I am suffering too. I am too afraid to have surgery and looking for help.
Daye thank you so much for having a real honest video! I found out about mine in 2019 with horrid pms nausea, vomiting, chronic fatigue, disorientation, loss of appetite and drop in blood count. The BCP didn't help. The cramping and clots were horrid. I live in the Caribbean with free health care for scans and meds. honestly stopped BC I found a fibroid tea on fb and August will make it a year it's helped a lot of my symptoms. Idk if it's shrinking my multiple growths but I saw the castor oil tiktok and now started. I've cut out milk and barely eat cheese, increased my water intake, I did notice during lent my cramps were less. I started back cardio 2x weekly and I'm wayyyy more functional than I was in 2019-2021! I'm avoiding surgery since my fibroids are inside, outside and in the lining of my womb with one at 9cm and four at 5cm.
I realized talking freely with women made me less embarrassed and I found out more info.

Thank you for being so transparent!! I'm happy you're healing and doing well. My fibroids ironically shrunk during my pregnancy, but their now back to their prepregnancy size. Fortunately they aren't at the size where I need to have surgery.

Thank you for sharing ❤. I had both lap and open myomectomy a few months back .The embolization is NOT recommended if a woman wants children afterwards, whereas the laparoscopic and open myomectomy is recommended for women who still wants kids.
I remember watching your first video about fibroids. And maybe a month later i went in for my check up and my doctor found a fibroid on my uterus. She explained thats what was causing my weight gain in my mid section and the bloating. I never would have known because i wasnt having any symptoms. Just cramping but it wasnt alarming to me. Luckily i dont need the surgery at this time. Its been over a year since i was first diagnosed.
Hi Daye. I too had myomectomy 20 years ago. I didn't have a history of keloids, but my mom's sister did. What I used was the silicon scar thearoy sheets each day. They really did help, and you reallly can't telll I had a C-section cut. Ask your doctor if that is something you could use. Thank for sharing your update.
Your story is the exact same as mine and im 19 found out in July and this Monday i get my mri, i have one the size of a cantaloupe and 2 the size of a grapefruit and some the size of kiwis. Majority of the women in my family has it BUT AINT NOBODY SAID A WORD ABOUT IT TO ME, dont like to claim nothing 😭 ✊🏾 i have every sign of them but never knew. Ill be having a myomectomy(like a c-section) either the end of this month or early September. Ive watched all parts 3 parts and thank you so so so so much cause my anxiety has been crazy but your story has helped me feel better and that im not alone🤍
How are you post surgery? Sounds like you’ve had alot to deal with. 🙏🏽
This month I saw my obgyn to inquire about an ablation for my heavy period. I found out during the ultrasound I have fibroids. I’m leaning toward a hysterectomy. Thanks for the info😊
honestly, I don’t blame you, especially if you’re not planning on having children. If they do come back, I’m seriously considering a hysterectomy if I decide I don’t want children because I’m indifferent about them.
I heard about scar massage. A massage therapist skilled in scarring. I heard it is painful, but it should help to reduce the look of the scar.
I'm 48 and will be having a partial hysterectomy. I sourced two opinions. I'm full on 9 months pregnant. It's impacting my bladder. All the best to you with your continued healing 🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing your story. You will help so many

Those fibroids are no joke. I had two robotic myomectomies and they help for a while. Unfortunately they came back and the pain was so unbearable that this year I decided to have a partial hysterectomy, and so far I’ve been feeling so much better. I will say I had endometriosis too so that could be why I continued to experience so much pain.
0:01 Hi 👋 Queen I’ve been living with fibroid & cyst 😰for more than 5years now but I got rid of it naturally after using dromo herbal medicines his UA-cam channel 👉 dromocure
May I ask How are post your surgery? And do you have any hormonal affects post surgery? I was seriously thinking of a partial Hysterectomy but not sure I’m ready just yet as was not convinced I wouldn’t have issues with my hormones. I will go with the UFE first to see if that helps me.
Thanks for sharing ❤ I’m 15 days post op
I’m having the surgery 😊 Want to avoid a busy environment for when God decides to have me grow a human ❤
I never worry when you take a break I just be waiting I do miss you I’m screaming that you are back tho

I just had my fibroid surgery last week Thursday open myomectomy . I had 20 removed .
May I ask how you are feeling and doing now post surgery.
I just had a hysterectomy in May because of fibroids. My uterus weighed 7lbs 🤦🏽♀️ I'm so glad to be rid of fibroids... and periods lol.
2 yrs went by so fast!
Right!!
Yes. So fast!
Thanks for sharing ❤
I had an open myomectomy in April had 12 removed just to find out last week 3 more grew to about 4 cm. I ended up having an hysteroscopic myomectomy yesterday. I'm changing my diet because I'm tired of dealing with this.
Happy Thursday 🙂
You need to put silicone scar gel on your scars for two years after surgery, did it with my C-section you can’t see it. Planing to do the same for my fibroid surgery
I pray god’s blessings on you ❤
Hey Daye❤
Inflammatory foods and coffee can cause them to grow....my experience.
...especially meat.
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the update. Glad to see you are doing well after disappearing! Lol
Great video. I had fibroids. I had them removed twice then i had a hysterectomy. What are ur thoughts on pregnancy? Are u gonna give it try?
Hey girl thank you for this information I really need this two years ago I had a UFE and my doctor told my when I went for my physical appointment I need a get my uterus taken out and I want children one day so what should I do I still have a cycle that's normal also I need to know what surgery is good with out taken the uterus

Hi...im considering UFE. What happened? Did it mess up your uterus? I had the MRI done alrefor the procedure but I'm on the fence between the UFE and myomectomy Myomectomy.
@@irishclark4193same here MRI done on Dec and consult with the Interventional Radiologist next Tuesday 16th Jan. I’m also in the fence with UFE as I wonder if it will cut of my blood supply to the rest of my uterus… ie just affect blood flow I. That area because those particles that are injected stay there. Plus I was told it can induce menopause which is why I’m hesitant as there’s no telling what it could or won’t do. I just want these fibroids out without surgery because I want to avoid more adhesions forming inside which I think I already have 😬
where is this hospital located. I am in Trinidad West Indies and my Fibroids is HUGE
Thank you. Just called Kaiser to get a gyno appointment.
Have you tried castor oil packs? Thanks so much for sharing all of this!
I’m starting one tonight!!! Have you? How long, etc?
@@amiemartin7108 I have been using the queen of thrones brand of castor oil and their packs! I have been pretty consistently doing the packs every night when I sleep. I notice I sleep better and my digestion is WAY better. Not sure if it's causing the fibroids to break down but I will keep on it. Anecdotally, heard stories of lots of women getting relief with castor oil packs. BIgger fibroids can take months to shrink, apparently. I have seen a cyst in my breast disappear from castor oil, though! (In 2 nights!)
@@amiemartin7108 I do it over night BUT some may have detox reactions so take it slow:)
Does it work for fibroids shrinkage?
@@raellyrae Yes! I have the pack from Queen of thrones and their castor oil. Make sure the oil is organic, hexane-free and in glass. I put the pack on my liver for half the night then I slide it around to my fibroid which is more on my left side for the rest of the night:)
Wow I had 16 removed 2 years ago!!
So I just found out today that I have a 13cm mass on my uterus. I am terrified and have been stressing and crying all day. I have an appt with the surgeon next week to discuss the next steps.
To add to this, I have the CHEK2 mutation, which increases my chances of getting cancer. Way higher than the average woman. Both of my parents had cancer. My mom just finished treatment at the end of 2022. So I think I’m leaning more towards a full hysterectomy.
Try not to stress. Go with the flow. You will be in good hands. 🙏🏽
Did anyone have an issue with fibroids in the lining or wall of the uterus (submucosal)?
I did. It’s common.
My happy Flo is bomb to me
I do have fibroids 4 total and a 7cm which is the biggest one, I have an upcoming hysteroscopy and to remove a fibroid that is the (causes) of my heavy periods not the bigger fibroids but this one is the cause of the heavy periods. After this I will be getting the UFE
MY GYNECOLOGIST wants to insert a birth control inside of my Coochie but Ave never been on birth control and I won’t be on it. He said it’s to balance my hormones but to be honest since switching to a plantbase lifestyle my periods has changed to better so I say food do play a role in fibroids, just my opinion. I have lost almost 35 lbs also bust eating plants I’m not 100% plantbase I and my husband go out to eat one per month and I have whatever I want but just once after my periods , I’m addicted to Cheetos but if I really want to stop it’s easy. I think I don’t have enough salt in my diet so I crave the salty Cheetos. I’m definitely gonna stop. My next step is to do a parasite cleanse and a detox and go 100% plantbase. I also take iron pills and vitamin D3+K , I take a multivitamin, B12 and Zinc all in liquids forms minus my multivitamin and they are all plantbase
Thank you for the update.
Can you please share the vitamin names with us
Would you mind sharing your surgeon?
Does fibroids make you urine , like you can't hold it ?
YES,,,
Definitely can! If it/they are pressing on your bladder or kidneys. BUT could also be a UTI. Best to consult doc and get a urinalysis to rule that out unless you’re having fibroid symptoms too.
Absolutely! I have one sitting right on my bladder and it causes frequent urination and the inability to hold it! Headed to surgery to have a partial hysterectomy. I am 51 and ready for the relief and to stop looking 800 months pregnant! 😂
Yes. My bladder is impacted greatly as I have my largest fibroid (now 6cm) on the top of my uterus which is pressing down on my bladder which means it fills up pretty quickly and can’t hold as much as it should as its capacity is being impacted literally. It feels really bad in the mornings but I manage it through the day by sipping on water slowly and often so not to fill so fast. I will admit it’s been rather debilitating especially when out running errands.
Are you on any meds for fibroids?
🤗🤎🤗
🥰🥰
My 71 year old aunt just assumed id need a hysterectomy
Is better to take them out than burn them and leave them there
It’s really up to you/what your physician recommends. One of my best friends had the UFE surgery and I had an open myomectomy-we both are experiencing relief. I didn’t have the option for UFE because mine were so big in relation to my body and they were crowding around my organs so it wasn’t safe.
I only see you when you’re on here because my Instagram is always deactivated. 🥲
Aww I miss you boo! I still be IG (mostly posting in my stories)
