Cindy, I'm sorry to hear this. I also have some fibroids but my Dr. said they were quite small so they didn't need to be removed. I also used to have very heavy bleeding during my periods. I ended up having a hydrothermal ablation which was an out patient procedure. It was the best thing I ever did and now I only have what I'd call heavy spotting or hardly anything at all. My recovery time was also supposed to be about 2 days but it took longer because I ended up getting a virus so I had to stay home for at least a week or so. I only had some cramping as a side effect and then for a quite a while I had some discharge which was normal. I hope that everything will go well. Good luck.
