First Period After UFE: Uterine Fibroid Embolization
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 гру 2019
- Since UFE is one of those procedures which takes months to see the full effects, many women are left unsure if their periods will be just as bad as before UFE or worse. I was one of those women unsure if my period after UFE would be horrible. Watch this video to see how my very first cycle was almost 1 month after UFE.

Next you’re going to be pregnant! 🤰🏽🥰🤞🏾🤞🏾
I’m ready whenever God is ready 🙏🏾
Can you get pregnant after doing this procedure?
Omg, thank you so much for being so transparent and honest. The whole 2 pads thing at night and STILL soiling the sheets is so real and it makes you feel self conscious being a grown woman still having these issues. Women are not talking about this kind of thing so you feel so alone and embarrassed. Thank God for you sharing your journey!
Hey Vanessa,I am glad to see and hear about your UFE procedure.I am scheduled for the 18th of this month .Your videos have really helped me in making my decision.I have 6 fibroid, which the 2 largest are 8 cm a piece.My gyn wanted to do a hysterectomy but of course i did my research and found a board-certified vascular and interventional radiologist . I have more pressure on my bladder and prolong bleeding for months .I hope this helps .
I’m glad you found my experience helpful! Many women have success with UFE 💕 Praying for a speedy recovery for you 🙏🏾
Just found your channel and I just wanted to say that's it awesome seeing some light at the end of the tunnel for you! I just had a MRI concerning my fibroids (had a failed Myosure last October) and am weighing my options between a myomectomy/UAE....still unsure- but it's nice to hear from someone who's been through it!
I know exactly what you’ve been through. Trust me, consider UFE! I finally have my life back
Glad you are feeling better!
Janice Burns thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you for being so personal. ❤️
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing , I just got uFE Friday and I’m unsure if I’m having my period . I had a hour free no pad 🎉🎉🎉🎉UFE works 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Omg girl u literally sound like me I’m in my stages of getting a UFE I have a MRI scheduled already but yes I would have to wear two overnight pad at night and during the day with a tampon super uncomfortable so I can’t wait for a relief from these heavy hectic periods. It takes all of my energy and I’m anemic
I hear you 💯💯
Glad you're seeing some improvements!
Thank you!
@@veryvanessa thank you for sharing this, I just had fibroid removed 3 weeks ago and was looking for info and anyone out there going through this..I still have back pain and is 3 weeks post surgery..getting scared bc I don't understand why still same pain..anyone out there went through this weeks after surgery?
So happy for you
Thank you 💕
I’m almost crying listening to you your story is exactly similar to mine 💯 sister thank you for sharing your honest raw stories I’m making an appointment ASAP to talk to my GYN about getting the procedure you got done! ♥️
That’s so sweet hun 💕 Definitely ask for UFE and meet with an Interventional Radiologist. They will let you know if you’re a candidate for it.
You are a radiant beauty .... thanks for sharing
thank you for these videos, I'm going to get the procedure
You’re welcome! I’m making an update soon! I’m now 3 months post op
I’m on my 3rd period after UFE, prior my periods were extremely painful but extremely light or I would not have my period for months. No i don’t have major cramps anymore which is great but my periods have been very heavy since ufe. They have become slightly lighter every month since but heavier than what I’ve been used to. Not sure if this is normal. Anyone gone through this?
Ive been considering a hysterectomy since December... I have more hope now
Wow you are very inspiring. You are helping me appreciate my regular periods. You are hope. I m dealing with an intramural anterior aspect fibroid. I also want to get pregnant and will start TTC soon Hoping I conceive naturally with out any surgery. I have an MRI coming up to check for any more details ? I had an ultrasound done. I want to set the dye test done too. God is courage ! Faith is blind 😍❤️ love our periods
Ohh man! The intramural ones cause the bleeding 😩 wishing you relief soon! I know how difficult it can be. Stay encouraged. UFE was the best thing I could’ve done 🙏🏾
Thank you. ❤️🙏🏽I just got my MRI done.. I’m bless to not have heavy or in between bleeding periods. My menstrual cycle days last 3-4 days and 5th spotting. And 27 CD’s
Thanks for sharing the good vibes 🤗 Sooo I have my surgery ✨ And I got my period 2 days after the surgery 😒 it wasn’t bad tho. Glad to hear you are doing well.
DeeRayOfSunshine That’s wonderful ✨ It’ll get better. Have you noticed a lighter flow since after UFE?
Very Vanessa Oh I had a myomectomy. This period was heavy but only 2 days.
Ohh ok! Praying for a speedy recovery for you!
DeeRayOfSunshine how bad was the myomecty? Have to get it soon and anxious about post op pain
Anne Don’t be. I had a terrible male primary care doctor that worried me and made me fret way more than I should have. He put so many negative thoughts in my head. Had to rebuke him. Anywho lol, don’t entertain thoughts of things that you can’t control. Focus on the outcome you want. Post op...🥴 first day the anesthesia Was still wearing off I couldn’t even raise my arms, straw fed. If you can please have someone patient who love me you to be there you are going to need help. I’d never lie to you lotsss of pain, like tons. I had a hand held clicker that released morphine every 8minutes when I needed it. Day two still painful. Core is needed to do a lot so it will be difficult to be in bed. They took the catheter out, I had to get up to walk to the bathroom. Couldn’t do it without help felt like Bambi. But walking is crucial to avoid complications. Day three, more strength. Every day you gain more strength back. I walked around very slowly on my own on painkillers by mouth every four hours. Released from hospital. I am six days post op. Yesterday I felt like poop and spent 89% of the day in bed. Today I am around walking. Stomach hurts after eating. First bowel movement today. Oh the biggest thing YOU CANNOT LAUGH!!!!!😱 Laughing hurts more than coughing and coughing feels like murder. I bursted into tears when I did for the first time. You have to cough tho to avoid pneumonia. Press a pillow into your abdomen when you need to do either. Yours could be easier than mine never know depends on the circumstances. Fourteen fibroids were removed from me, the doctor found endometriosis and I had to lose a filopian tube. I was cut down from the belly button because of their size and to reduce blood loss. I hope this helps. If you have more questions you can DM me on IG:lsdivine1. Take care 🤗
Thanks so much for sharing. I have Adenomyosis and endometriosis so I know all about the heavy periods 😔
I can’t even imagine
I was scheduled for my first
Cycle post UGR. It’s been 2 days of symptoms and no bleeding so far. Fitbit is always on track with my cycle. I’m wearing a pad expecting a flow and nothing yet. Anyone else experience this?
I need someone to talk to. I'm feeling so down. I'm in nurse residency program and my 12th week. Suddenly my liaison and managers are switching me to a different track/ floor because they think I'm lacking in basic nursing. They want me to train in rehab. They feel I am not progressive at the pace I need to be at. My preceptor were cool but I do need more patience. I am trying to not take it personal but I'm so upset and feel rejected.
Take this opportunity to learn and master your skills. Sometimes things don’t turn out as we envision them but rest assured everything happens for a reason. Nursing is so broad that there are many specialties and places to work. Where you may be skilled in one area you may lack experience in another. Doesn’t take away from the fact that you are a nurse. Own it and do the best you can each day!
Hi I am going for a consult on March 16, 2020 to see I am a candidate to get the same procedure, but the only thing I have 3 children and my tubes have been tied over sometime now, I am hoping it works for me I as well had to change every 2 hours and sleep with a towel under me I need some relief
Wishing everything goes well for you! Please keep me posted! I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Just know there are options, I’m hoping UFE can be one for you 💗
TFS. I'm scheduled for UFE on 1.6.20. Is there anything that you wish you'd known beforehand? Any information is greatly appreciated.
Madia Autrey yes! Start taking smooth move tea from day 1! The constipation pains were BAD. Also make sure you have some support at home for the first week. No bending, lifting or straining yourself.
Thanks so much for sharing your journey but please dont drive while doing videos....it's dangerous and we all want you to be safe. Cheers!
You’re so right
I got my UFE done just 4 days before my expected menstrual cycle... It's more than two weeks and i still haven't got my period. I am worried.
How are you doing now? Did your cycle come on?
I'm experiencing fever after UFE,the pain is manageble . Any one have same problems?
How high have your fevers been? Please consult with your doctor if it persists.
I had my UFE two weeks ago 🥰praying I get the same relief 🥰 …
How is it going so far? I'm considering this surgery vs a mayomectomy.
Kimberly, how are you feeling?
@@veryvanessa hello I feel great my symptoms really are gone however I did get recently diagnosed with migraines headaches not sure if it related to my hormones changes but I’ll be seeing my PCP next week to F/U
That’s great! I’m glad to hear you’re doing ok so far. Try a pinch of cayenne pepper in some key lime juice for migraine relief 💛
@@veryvanessa thank you I will try that ❤️🙏
U r so beautiful.. ❤️
I wish, u have a baby soon!!
Thank you!
Yes I know all about getting up in the morning & checking the sheets...smh
It’s the worst smh
How was your recovery period was they a recovery period was there any bleeding right after the procedure can u or can you not have sex for what period of time
Hello! I made a few videos on my UFE experience, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month post op.
my radial artery has clotted since my UFE and my doctor does not seem to know what to do, because I was the first person that has happened too in his practice. Do you know of anyone this happened or is there anyone in the comments this happened too?
Hi Tonya, no I haven’t heard of this happening to anyone. What are the doctors recommendations and is this a serious complication?
I had to wear a pressure band across my wrist for at least 24 hours post op.
@@veryvanessa he admitted he was not sure what to do so he called another doctor that told him sometimes it will unclot. But if I began to experience numbness or have no feeling in my hand I need to come back. Im very nervous, I think I might ask for a specialist.
Heyyy how did this end up being for you w the clot?
@@mercedespullum7663 its just getting better. 6 month later. I changed my eating habits
I still clot but they much smaller and typically last for 1 day maybe 1 day and a half. It just took my body longer to adjust than most people. I forgot to tell you I also started down castor oil pack every day with the heating pad. I also lowered my stress level by getting a divorce, a lot has happened that has had positive results again it just too more time for me
