Aah Lupron...get prepared for the insanely irritating and downright nervewracking hot flashes .

My fibroid was submucosal also. I believe it was around 9.5 cm. I had a myoectomy to remove it because I'm not allowed on birth control (which my doctor/surgeon told me can temporarily reduce the size of the fibroid), but most of the irritation were the symptoms, like oneandahalf stated. Especially the Long heavy periods. I also started getting migraines and I had an iron deficiency. The migraines were what got me to call my doctor to get checked out because my mom had long heavy periods so I figured it was just me getting older.

I also had to take Lupron prior to the surgery. I have a suspicion I now have another

Good luck!
