U. Chicago has found combo of meds that works for fibroids

 It's a combination of relugolix, which cuts off the estrogen and progesterone. Then they put back a little estrogen and progesterone, enough so you don't go into menopause. And evidently it works. Study results: "73% and 71% of participants, respectively, showed significant improvement in such key measures as volume of menstrual blood loss, pain, anemia, distress from bleeding and pelvic discomfort". 

Details here. The study appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine.
