I know there are loads of info on this on the net, but I'm hoping for information from people with first hand knowledge about this form of treatment.

How effective is it?
How long does it take?
How much does it cost?
Any side effects?
Is it FDA Approved?

Sorry, NOTHING works.
I had a horrible fibroid, and had to get a Myomectomy.
Fibroids come from too little progesterone in the system.
Too little progesterone in the system comes from stress via poor food choices, alcohol, not enough sleep, or emotional stress.
NEVER EVER take progesterone pills or Depo-Provera to "fix this".
Correct that which is hurting your body, and get the myomectomy.
Do NOT NOT get a HYSTERECTOMY.
