I have been diagnosed with uterine fibroids. being that estrogen makes them grow, is it safe to take vitamins specific for women which has estrogen?

Yes: Because if you are not yet menopausal, then you are still making estrogen in your ovaries. The amount you will get in an over the counter vitamin is likely small.
