Thank you for being so transparent! I went through the same things and eventually got a partial hysterectomy nearly 18 years ago. Now my poor daughter is experiencing the same things. Her fibroid is the size of a grapefruit and grew since her last appointment. She changed her lifestyle and food choices 6 months ago, and that is helping to alleviate some of her pain. I’m praying for her, because it’s her and my son-in-laws biggest wish to become first time parents. She’ll be 30 next month. Praying for you too! God bless you. ❤
I wish there were conferences that help women particularly black women on different interventions with living a normal life with fibroids. There are so many women suffering with fibroids.
When you have a moment, research the White Dress Project, I believe they are based in Atlanta, GA. I started following them on social media and signed up for emails.
I had a myomectomy in 2008.... they are back now in multiples since 2013. I think I'm gonna get the big H ...since I'm in full blown menopause. Best wishes to you.
They either come back or it is too my understanding that they might leave some .. smaller fibroids. I have been shrinking mine with the help of micronutrients and other things. I can definitely share I go to get another ultrasound this week..
Back in 2015 I found out I was pregnant. When I went to the doctor they told me I was pregnant in my tube's and I needed to have surgery. When I had the surgery, the surgeon told me I wasn't pregnant in my tube's but I had several fibroids near my tubes and my baby didn't make bc of the surgery. They removed the fibroids. Now Im 45 and I recently found out I had several more fibroids that had came back. I decided to have a hysterectomy bc I didn't want to keep having the surgery to remove the fibroids. It was a hard decision to make, but having a hysterectomy was a great decision for me. I hope everything works out for u and God bless you
Hey Toya , Its crazy how comfortable ,you make me feel ... its like a Sis on FaceTime vs a vlog and I love that about you...In regards to you ,your health , business &your family , wishing you .. Blessings on top of Blessings Queen ❤
I have had the UFE procedure and moving forward almost 15 years later, no fibroids and life is great. Thank you sis foe not doing the hysterectomy, you made a great choice. Good luck beautiful ❤
Yes, those HVAC quotes are off the chain! This is the reason that I got with an Insulation company first - to make sure the House is correctly Insulated. Then I did my research, got three different price quotes and learned the difference between Heat Pumps and regular Air Conditioning units.
I have fibroids too & have had them for 10+ yrs now. And my doctor tell me they're small. I don't have hardly any pain & pray to God I never do. I pray you can get them to shrink or remove yours & for God to be with you in whatever your decision is. I schedule MRIs and other diagnostic testing at my job & you're right about being in the machine. I hear it all the time from patients about how they don't like being closed in it. We have an Open MRI machine for patients that are claustrophobic or weigh more than 350lbs, but I'm glad your 1st one wasn't bad. Thank you for sharing your day with us & hope you'll keep us posted.🙏❤😀
Thank you Toya for sharing this journey with us. I had no idea of the impact Fibroids had till my life got turned upside down. I hope you share your UFE experience as well. I go back and forth with if I'm going to do that... Or just get a hysterectomy. Im 48 and sure that i don't want anymore children.
After a uterine fibroid embolization all the fibroids grow back the fibroids do not shrink until you go through menopause things the doctors don't tell you
Hello Toya I am from Louisiana my sister had the same thing now my niece have it my mother had 10 girls for my sister's deceased my niece is 46 please please pray about it tell the Lord all about it whatever you decide to do always talk to God first we love you and your family especially raining in Nas much love from Dallas Texas
Exactly, I’m 61 years old. Years ago In my 40’s I had 2 fibroids 1 the size of a grapefruit the other the size of a grape. My doctor want me to have a hysterectomy but I refused. After years of being in pain. When I started going through menopause my pain subsided and the fibroids got a smaller in size. It’s so small my doctor told me I’ve only had one, the other one was gone. So with menopause the fibroids do got smaller and the pain subsides. Toya I’m praying for you with your fibroids to leave not only get smaller but leave in Jesus Christ mighty name, Amen 🙏🏽
Lord, the things we as Queens go through. I had an iron transfusion for almost four years. Keep doing what you need to take care of your health. I do know that iron can make you constipated, especially around that time of month. Bananas and applesauce helped me. sometimes. 🙏 ❤
Hey, what exactly is an iron transfusion? I am anemic and have low iron where I had to get 4 blood transfusions, and at times I still feel very tired and weak not having any strength at All so I'm just looking through the comments to see if anyone would say some over the counter iron pills they recommend but now I would like to be educated a little more on what is the iron transfusion...
@@syreetajohnson812it’s an iron infusion and basically they inject you with iron. My doctor does it in a series of 4 sessions so as not to have a reaction from too much iron at once. They’re basically just giving you a boost of iron you’re missing in your body.
A patio party sounds like a real chilled vibe Toya you are so beautiful your daddy genes are strong looking like jashae praying for your fibroid surgery successful and quick recovery
Hi Toya, I had the same procedure done by Dr Lipman several years ago. Dr Lipman is awesome! You will love the results. No more issues with Fibroids. Thank God!!
Good morning Toya try not to overthink you're going to be just fine smart ambitious young lady everything is going to fall in place I went through the same thing the Lord is going to bring you to everything
Hey Toya I had the UFE a few years ago and I know for a fact every body reacts differently but that situation threw me into early menopause so just be. Careful with your decisions I wish you well
The iron pills by “Now” is gentle and does not cause constipation. I hope you feel better! Went thru this, I went with having my uterus removed. That stuff is hard to deal with. It takes a mental toll on you. Prayers to you Toya!
Thank you Toya for sharing with us. I have only one fibroid and it’s causing me lots of heavy bleeding and clotting during my cycles so much that every few months I have to get iron infusions bc severe anemia.😢 I don’t want to get a hysterectomy bc I want to try for another baby eventually but whew 😢 the pain is a lot during my cycles.
Try reducing your meat intake, especially chicken & beef, dairy etc. To minimize the bleeding 1 tbsp braggs apple cider vinegar in a cup of room temp water works for me. I also take unsulphured black strap molasses and have an orange after.
Be encourage. I just finish my procedure two weeks ago and everyday I pray that they don’t come back. I’m also changing my diet and watch what I put into my body. Keep pushing it will soon be behind you.
Fibroids will have you in pain and agony I was bleeding badly with mine and was glad when I had my procedure done... Praying for you and your recovery time in advance ❤
Always puts a smile on my face, such a pleasant person. Glad you're doing ok toya & i wish you, your husband, children and family in general, the best, stay blessed.
Hi Toya, I just found out last month that my blood is low. I found out i had fibroids in 2018 and they never bothered me until May i passed twice and my blood pressure was high. I am now looking to get the iron infusion but I will also research the other procedure. I run a nutritional supplement company and the iron that i take does not constipate me but I also do a castor oil pack and that helps also.
I think ima try the UFE also they want me to get the myomectomy but I haven’t had any kids yet and I only got 2 one kinda big one small so I definitely don’t wanna get cut and go through that pain so ima ask about the UFE and try another Doctor Thank you so much Toya for sharing your story you are not alone love💜💜💜💜💜 I appreciate this so much‼️ we got this💪🏽💪🏽
Toya, speaking from experience, the traditional iron( ferrous sulfate) is beneficial. I have purchased a more holistic iron supplement from Dr. Bobby Price that has been much better for me. I dont have the usual constipation, and my nails have thrived.
I had fibroid twice, first time when I was 30 then 12yrs later I got them again I did not have any symptoms or pain at all . Had a hysterectomy 7yrs ago best thing ever.
Hey toya, I had 7 fibroid and they were the size of grapefruit, I had mines shrink, and thanks to God, they never came back, so toya I'm praying that ur shrik and never come back as well❤
Hello. I know this video a month old, but I’m just viewing it. I like to read the comments because they sometimes help with informative information to look into. Do you mind sharing how you shrink your fibroids?
Toya my prayers are with you 🙏🏽 I'm Shecrita by the way or Cree from VA. I saw you and your family at Disney at Magic Kingdom so Happy to experience that especially with my children they know you and they was happy to see you as well and Reign. I spoke to you I said Heyyyy Toya and then you said hiii that was so amazing and I wish you all nothing but blessings. That weather was something else tho but still had a Awesome time!!❤ I was going to ask for a a pic but out of respect you was with your family and plus it was raining and everybody had on ponchos but its okay have the memory of that day with us forever!!!💯🌹❤
I had UFE by Dr. Lipman back in March.I will say they do not prepare you for pain afterwards and the road ahead. I pray yours go smooth. I’m still recovering! I have 5, with 2 the size of grapefruits and the rest baseballs
Thank you for taking us through your journey. I am going through the same thing and I wanted to see what other options are out there since I had the surgery and they came back.
I had fibroids my doctor struck them they came back 2 years later. My second procedure was a embolization. My third procedure was a hysterectomy it was successful. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thank you for sharing. I have really big fibroids and I was so scared to get them removed bcuz my gyn first gave me the option of a hysterectomy. I found a new Dr. and I'll want to explore more options.
At the Vitamin Shop: Liquid Iron ( Blackberry Vanilla) you'll love it! Sea moss ( Black Seed oil) Ashwaganda Root liquid. Nah, let me tell you a story 😊. My iron was Critical low a few years ago. Due to heavy periods.. The Dr office called me to go ASAP to the ER and do an iron infusion. I reached it. My spirit was bothered. I REFUSED to go. The whole weekend I prayed and ordered Sweet potato and Bake potatoes and Salmon fish to eat. I immediately started feeling a little bit better. I took my vitamins liquid I doubled it because of my Critical low iron 😊. I've been doing the same thing for a couple of years now. Take your vitamins and eat fish 🐠🐟🐠🐟. Sweet potato 🍠. It boosts it up. 😊 God bless you ❤️.
I agree with the fish. I also suffer from low iron and vitamin D. I have been eating a lot of salmon, watermelon, and pomegranate cranberry juice and I have been feeling good. I have one fibroid and I’m tired of trying to figure out what to eat. U can’t eat nothing cause they feed on pretty ouch everything. It’s annoying 🙄
Happy you are feeling somewhat better. I had some feminine bleeding issues back in 2019. And was forced to take iron pills as well. One tip that I can suggest to you is to take a stool softener daily or be sure to eat foods daily that will increase your bowel movements😊. Take care!
Dr. Lipman at Atlanta Fibroid center did my procedure a few days ago as well. Now I'm day 7 post opp and I'm up and moving around slowly, feeling somewhat back to my energized self. No pain at/near incision site. My biggest issue was the vomiting for about 3 days after the procedure and mild cramping (nowhere near the same as the excruciating pain I'd been dealing with in left pelvic area for months). I'll take that over that pain anyday. Im happy I did it, as of right now. I was actually hurting in my left pelvic area the morning that I went in. After the procedure, the pain there was gone. Cant wait to see the progress over the next 3-6 months.
I had surgery back in 2017 to remove mine and I’m so thankful that I haven’t had any problems since then! Mine wasn’t as bad but I did bleed quite a bit. I’m also thankful that the doctor fixed it so I wouldn’t have any more periods 🙌🏾
I’m recovering now from a hysterectomy. I still have my ovaries. I thought it was going to be in a lot of pain surprisingly I wasn’t.So far everything is going good. The first 3 days was rough but im doing much better now.
I found out I had two fibroids in 2016. Two the size of a quarter. The specialist told me I had two options. A hysterectomy or laser surgery. I was bleeding so much and pain was awful. However, I decided not to do any surgeries after speaking to people that had experience with this. Mine were so small I didn’t feel the need and I just decided to tough ou the pain. I changed my diet, now today, the pain is gone and the bleed ing is not as bad or don’t last as many days. I am 51, I figured I will hit menopause soon and it’s not really affecting me too much. I hope you do what is best for you. 🙏🏽
I had the procedure you are talking about to shrink the fibroids back in 2007 and it works. I use to have really bad cycles but no more. Best thing that happened was the procedure.
I did the UFE procedure and later found out that it did not work. My fibroids actually calcified and my only option was a hysterectomy. I pray that everything works out because I know you and your husband want another baby.
I had multiple iron infusions and my firbroids were so big I looked four months pregnant. I had a total laparoscopic hysterectomy and everything went back to normal. I didn’t do the UFE because they would only come back and I didn’t want to prolong my suffering so I got rid of them for good!
Toya I’m praying that your procedure is successful to remove the fibroids. 🙏🏾 Years ago my sister had a myomectomy after she lost her baby because of the fibroids. The surgery worked well for her and now she has two kids. Tfs your story. The patio looks beautiful and soo peaceful, love the curly hair on you! 🥰❤
If you use the slow release iron it is much better for helping with the constipation. If you use over the counter, use a slow release like slow FE brand and the if you want a store brand, Target has a slow release iron. I also had a great prescription slow release from my doctor at one point. Surprised your doctor didn’t tell you about the slow release iron.
Thank you for sharing your story !! That’s brave of you to do because a lot of women are very private when it comes down to this topic so I’m glad your bringing awareness , and you’re so right ,a lot of us women go through this horrible thing called fibroids. I had fibroids , and it was the worst thing that I’ve ever encountered. I went through the majority of the symptoms you were talking about fatigue , heavy cramping. Heavy, bleeding, clotting, etc. one day I got my phone and I researched on different Options because doctors nowadays they love pushing hysterectomy and myomectomy ,so I found a another option called uterine fibroid embolization also known as UFE and when you mentioned it, I was like thank God that there are some doctors are knowledgeable and speak on different options to patients ,not just the normal surgery . You chose a very good procedure. Trust me you will not regret it. I did mines November 2023 and trust me less recovery time ,less bleeding during your menstrual cycle.,Your energy levels go up ,you would see major changes and I do not regret it. I live in Florida and I did my procedure at the university of Miami . Wishing you all the luck and you got this.😊
Thank you soo much for this video. I recently saw my gyno and was told I had 2 plum size fibroids. And her initial recommendation was to remove my uterus then when I start crying in her office she asked me if I have something else going on. I don’t have children yet and will like to have some. After that she recommended the Myfembree pill that is suppose to stop the blood supply to them. Im going to need to see a specialist too
I had the Myomectomy years ago, they removed 5 large Fibroids on my uterus. I'm in the same situation. I just had my MRI to see the Fibroid specialist.. I have 3 that grew back and causing so much pain and pressure in the pelvis.. I'm considering getting the UFE to kill the blood flow.
Hi Toya I wish I could talk to you off of here I just had an hell of a experience with fibroids for the first time in my life LETS JUST SAY IM HAPPY TO BE IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING ❤ GOD IS GOOD

It seems like all of us have the same size fibroids 🤔 it has to be something to that with black women.

I had a myomectomy in 2008.... they are back now in multiples since 2013. I think I'm gonna get the big H ...since I'm in full blown menopause. Best wishes to you.
Me too!
I always hear of them coming back with a myomectomy 😩
I had surgery August 2023 and November 2023 they were back
They either come back or it is too my understanding that they might leave some .. smaller fibroids.

Relaxers are the source of the fibroids, look up CZcams videos on a class action lawsuit because you qualify.

I had a friend who had to have a full hysterectomy because she bled so much she was wearing a diaper. I was happy for her and her decision.

I took my vitamins liquid I doubled it because of my Critical low iron 😊. I've been doing the same thing for a couple of years now. Take your vitamins and eat fish 🐠🐟🐠🐟. Sweet potato 🍠. It boosts it up. 😊 God bless you ❤️.
I agree with the fish. I also suffer from low iron and vitamin D. I have been eating a lot of salmon, watermelon, and pomegranate cranberry juice and I have been feeling good. I have one fibroid and I’m tired of trying to figure out what to eat. U can’t eat nothing cause they feed on pretty ouch everything. It’s annoying 🙄
Hey toyaaaaa fav looking snatched okkkkkkk don't play wittt it
Toya while in New Orleans check out the Goddess collection if you don’t want to have surgery and used the alternative method.
Thanks for being transparent about this matter. It impacts so many of us.
Praying for a successful outcome. When taking your iron pills eat something first.
I feel your pain. Sis I had to do the MIR as well. I have to do the mammogram but like I said I needed a break from all the doctor
The UFE is great! I had it 2 years ago. Changed my life.
Happy you are feeling somewhat better. I had some feminine bleeding issues back in 2019. And was forced to take iron pills as well. One tip that I can suggest to you is to take a stool softener daily or be sure to eat foods daily that will increase your bowel movements😊. Take care!
Dr. Lipman at Atlanta Fibroid center did my procedure a few days ago as well. Now I'm day 7 post opp and I'm up and moving around slowly, feeling somewhat back to my energized self. No pain at/near incision site. My biggest issue was the vomiting for about 3 days after the procedure and mild cramping (nowhere near the same as the excruciating pain I'd been dealing with in left pelvic area for months). I'll take that over that pain anyday. Im happy I did it, as of right now. I was actually hurting in my left pelvic area the morning that I went in. After the procedure, the pain there was gone. Cant wait to see the progress over the next 3-6 months.
I had surgery back in 2017 to remove mine and I’m so thankful that I haven’t had any problems since then! Mine wasn’t as bad but I did bleed quite a bit. I’m also thankful that the doctor fixed it so I wouldn’t have any more periods 🙌🏾
I’m recovering now from a hysterectomy. I still have my ovaries. I thought it was going to be in a lot of pain surprisingly I wasn’t.So far everything is going good. The first 3 days was rough but im doing much better now.
I found out I had two fibroids in 2016. Two the size of a quarter. The specialist told me I had two options. A hysterectomy or laser surgery. I was bleeding so much and pain was awful. However, I decided not to do any surgeries after speaking to people that had experience with this. Mine were so small I didn’t feel the need and I just decided to tough ou the pain. I changed my diet, now today, the pain is gone and the bleed ing is not as bad or don’t last as many days. I am 51, I figured I will hit menopause soon and it’s not really affecting me too much. I hope you do what is best for you. 🙏🏽
I had the procedure you are talking about to shrink the fibroids back in 2007 and it works. I use to have really bad cycles but no more. Best thing that happened was the procedure.
I did the UFE procedure and later found out that it did not work. My fibroids actually calcified and my only option was a hysterectomy. I pray that everything works out because I know you and your husband want another baby.
Hi Toya, have you tried doing the castor oil packs for your fibroids? Do some research this might help. 😄
I’m scheduled to do my UFE at the same center in Atlanta in August I can’t wait . I’m tired of being in pain
Continued prayers❤
You are so beautiful. I've always loved your spirit. Prayers on everything. 🙏🏼❤
I'm obsessed with her hair 😅😂 beautiful 🙏 ❤
I had multiple iron infusions and my firbroids were so big I looked four months pregnant. I had a total laparoscopic hysterectomy and everything went back to normal. I didn’t do the UFE because they would only come back and I didn’t want to prolong my suffering so I got rid of them for good!
Your hair is beautiful sweetheart 💯❤️. And I’m praying 🙏🏽 for love 💝. God bless you darling 💝
Toya I’m praying that your procedure is successful to remove the fibroids. 🙏🏾 Years ago my sister had a myomectomy after she lost her baby because of the fibroids. The surgery worked well for her and now she has two kids. Tfs your story. The patio looks beautiful and soo peaceful, love the curly hair on you! 🥰❤
If you use the slow release iron it is much better for helping with the constipation. If you use over the counter, use a slow release like slow FE brand and the if you want a store brand, Target has a slow release iron. I also had a great prescription slow release from my doctor at one point. Surprised your doctor didn’t tell you about the slow release iron.
Thank you for sharing your story !! That’s brave of you to do because a lot of women are very private when it comes down to this topic so I’m glad your bringing awareness ,
and you’re so right ,a lot of us women go through this horrible thing called fibroids.
I had fibroids , and it was the worst thing that I’ve ever encountered. I went through the majority of the symptoms you were talking about fatigue , heavy cramping. Heavy, bleeding, clotting, etc. one day I got my phone and I researched on different Options because doctors nowadays they love pushing hysterectomy and myomectomy ,so I found a another option called uterine fibroid embolization also known as UFE and when you mentioned it, I was like thank God that there are some doctors are knowledgeable and speak on different options to patients ,not just the normal surgery .
You chose a very good procedure. Trust me you will not regret it. I did mines November 2023 and trust me less recovery time ,less bleeding during your menstrual cycle.,Your energy levels go up ,you would see major changes and I do not regret it. I live in Florida and I did my procedure at the university of Miami . Wishing you all the luck and you got this.😊
Thank you soo much for this video. I recently saw my gyno and was told I had 2 plum size fibroids. And her initial recommendation was to remove my uterus then when I start crying in her office she asked me if I have something else going on. I don’t have children yet and will like to have some. After that she recommended the Myfembree pill that is suppose to stop the blood supply to them. Im going to need to see a specialist too
My heart goes out to you!!! 20??? My god!
I had the Myomectomy years ago, they removed 5 large Fibroids on my uterus. I'm in the same situation. I just had my MRI to see the Fibroid specialist.. I have 3 that grew back and causing so much pain and pressure in the pelvis.. I'm considering getting the UFE to kill the blood flow.
Such a brave woman ❤
I’m happy to see you out getting your information on your options 💪🏽🤎🙏🏽
I honestly wouldn't do the uterine fibroid embolization. A gf of mine did the procedure, and now she has to get surgery to get them removed.
I am 63 had a hysterectomy at 30 because of large fibroids praying for your total recovery 😊
Praying for you, going through the same. And I also think I will be doing the UFE
Toya Beautiful Queen💕I’m Praying For Your Complete Healing🙏💕
Hi Toya I wish I could talk to you off of here I just had an hell of a experience with fibroids for the first time in my life LETS JUST SAY IM HAPPY TO BE IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING ❤ GOD IS GOOD
