A one time use of emergency contraception is not going to affect the size of uterine fibroids.

Fibroids grow from estrogen. Levonorgestral is a progestin.

Question 5

Does taking one dose levonorgestrel next choice pill cause fibroids to grow faster/ bigger? is it effective /does the pill work when taken on 3rd day?

Accepted Answer

Levonogestrel has no effect on fibroids. The pill is only about 50% effective by 72 hours post exposure.  Definitely still a good idea to help prevent pregnancy, even at 3 days post coital.

Question 6

Found out i have a fibroid a little over5cm but i'm on on low dose pill,can it cause it grow bigger?also water discharge runs out a wk/2 before period

Accepted Answer

Typically oral contraceptives are used to shrink rather than increase the size of uterine fibroids. The water discharge can be a normal variant of it comes before every period and resolves on it's own.

Question 7

Does next choice one dose contain any synthetic hormones?i have uterine fibroids and i've noticed the rapid growth in shape .

Accepted Answer

Next choice emergency contraception contains a synthetic progesterone, but it does not impact fibroids.  It is taking estrogen that can cause fibroids to grow.  If you think your fibroids are growing you should see your doctor, to get an exam and possibly an ultrasound, to know what is going on.

Question 8

I have a fibroid that is causing constant bleeding. been going on for 6 months. doc wants to do an ablation and keep me on a low dose bcp. good plan?

Accepted Answer

It depends on several factors as follows. Have you completed your childbearing? How many fibroids are present? Are you anemic? Do you want to retain your uterus? Can you tolerate failure of this treatment method and willingness to consider other Rs.'s at that point? As you can see, a "good plan" is one that takes into account the patient's  physical condition, wishes  MD skill set.

Question 9

Taking megace 40mg 2x a day for 10 days at start of cycle for heavy bleeding while waiting to get in with an endocrinologist to remove a fibroid.  can i get pregnant on the off days between finishing my dose and starting my next?

Accepted Answer

it is possible to become pregnant between episodes of megace.  If the heavy bleeding is thought to be coming from a fibroid , the megace is probably not doing much to abbreviate your heavy bleeding. Use birth control or abstinence while waiting for the fibroid to be removed.

Question 10

Would switching from a higher dose of birth control to an ultra low dose(lo loestrin fe) slow the growth of fibroids? or does the pill not affect them

Accepted Answer

It is not likely that changing the dose of a birth control pill would have a significant effect on the growth rate of a uterine fibroid. The management of fibroids should be based on size, location, symptoms and fertility plans.
