Shrinking Fibroids & Increasing Fertility Naturally

About Me

Fibroid Shrinker
I am on a quest to shrink my uterine fibroids naturally so that I can avoid surgery and increase my fertility. I've been doing a lot of reading and experimenting with various natural/alternative techniques and thought I would share that with others who are seeking to shrink their fibroids. Fibroids are very frustrating -- I have been struggling with mine for several years. I hope that the information I post here can help other women who share this challenge.
