Hi joel, your question interests me because you are still on a birth control pill at 52, one that is fairly simple in what it delivers and a side effect is thickening of the uterus lining (this is not uncommon). In a younger woman it would not normally be a problem but in your case you have developed fibroids (from the thickening).
How long have you been on Necon, joel? I am asking just to clarify what I am thinking about your predicament and I still haven't addressed your original question of alternative treatment for the fibroids.
At 52 you should be either premenopausal or through it already. Many women sail through menopause without really being bothered too much by the symptoms we all hear we are 'supposed' to have, and there are many.
Was your doctor remiss in leaving you on this birth control pill so long? Are you still on it for the benefits of hormones it delivers ?

2 fibroid tumors and a cyst
I am 52 n perimeno. I found out I hv a cyst on my ovary and 2 fibroids on pelvis. Neither one are painful to me. Dr wants to do surgery for cyst and d&c for fibroids. Is there medicine I can tk to shrink fibroids, and keep watch on cyst? Is there med I can take to shrink fibroids. I understand once you go through menopause, fibroids shrink anyway...

I'm 52 n premeno. Found 2 fribroids n once cyst
Just found out I hv 2 fibroids and a benign cyst on ovary (dermoid). Doc wants to give me d&c for thick lining on uteris and fibroids. And cut out cyst? Is there an alternative to surgery? Like med to shrink tumors? And won't menopause take care of fibroids anyway? How painful and what is expected after the d&c if I get one
