This is not a miracle story. My fibroids did not disappear. But over 90 days of consistent, deliberate changes, my period went from something I dreaded and planned my life around to something I could manage. Here is exactly what I did, what the evidence behind each change is, and what made no difference at all.
The Starting Point
I had two intramural fibroids confirmed by ultrasound — 3.5cm and 2.8cm — and one submucosal one at 1.8cm. My periods were lasting 9–10 days, I was going through pads at a rate that affected my daily functioning, and I had pelvic pressure most days. My haemoglobin was borderline — low-normal. I was not anaemic enough to qualify for iron infusion but was clearly depleted.
Month 1: Foundation
Week 1–2: Iron and sleep. Before anything else, I addressed the fatigue. I added a daily iron supplement (ferrous fumarate 210mg) with orange juice for absorption, and committed to a consistent sleep and wake time. Sleep was the hardest — pelvic discomfort disrupted it regularly — but a sleep mask, cooler room, and no phone after 10pm made a measurable difference within two weeks.
Week 3–4: Dietary foundation. I removed red meat, alcohol, and most refined carbohydrates. Not perfectly — but consistently. I added ground flaxseed to my morning porridge, started having broccoli or kale at lunch daily, and replaced evening snacks with berries and green tea. No drama, no elimination diet. Just consistent daily patterns.

Month 2: Adding Supplements and Movement
By month 2, my energy was noticeably better — partly from the iron, partly from the sleep improvement. I added: EGCG supplement (400mg daily), Vitamin D3 (2,000 IU — I had tested deficient), and magnesium glycinate at night (supports sleep and smooth muscle relaxation). I also started walking 30 minutes every morning, which had an effect on my mood and energy within the first week.
Mid-month, I started noticing that my bloating — which had been almost constant — was less severe in the afternoons. This was the first physical improvement that felt real.
Month 3: Compounding
The third month brought the clearest changes. My period arrived and lasted 7 days instead of 10. The flow was heavy on days 2–3 but manageable on days 4–7 in a way it had not been before. Pelvic pressure was still present but less constant. I had two full weeks in the month without noticeable pelvic discomfort — something I could not have said three months earlier.
What Did Not Work
Castor oil packs: I tried them for four weeks. No discernible effect. Specific herbal teas marketed as fibroid treatments: same. Very high-intensity workout sessions: made my symptoms worse during the workout and increased pelvic discomfort afterward. I switched to walking and Pilates, which was much better.

What I Would Tell Someone Starting Out
Start with one thing and do it for two weeks before adding another. The urge to change everything at once is understandable but counterproductive. You cannot identify what is working if you change ten things simultaneously. Also: expect month 2 and 3 to show more change than month 1. These interventions work slowly and cumulatively.
