Everything You Need to Know, from Symptoms to Diagnosis and Beyond by Dr Michelle Griffin to your reading list.

What we love about this book is how practical it is. It takes you from understanding what fibroids actually are and recognising your symptoms, through to preparing for GP appointments, exploring treatment options and learning how to advocate for yourself.

Written by women’s health expert and obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Michelle Griffin, it makes a condition that can feel incredibly overwhelming much easier to understand.

Definitely one for the fibroid bookshelf. 🤍

Heavy bleeding isn’t “just a heavy period.”

Fibroids can affect the womb lining, blood flow and the body’s ability to stop bleeding, which is why some women experience flooding, large clots or periods that seem to last forever.

If your period is affecting your daily life, it’s worth asking questions and seeking support. 🤍

Could this help change how fibroids are recognised at work? 🤍

A UK Parliament petition is calling for gynaecological conditions, including fibroids, to be explicitly included in Equality Act disability guidance.

For women whose symptoms impact their ability to work and live day-to-day, greater understanding and support in the workplace matters.

The petition has already passed 10,000 signatures. The next milestone is 100,000, when it can be considered for debate in Parliament.

If this matters to you, take a moment to read, sign and share the petition. Every conversation helps push women’s health further up the agenda. 🤍

Vitamin D is often overlooked in conversations about fibroids, yet research continues to explore its potential role in fibroid development and symptom management.

Dr John Lipman, fibroid specialist and UFE expert, discusses the importance of vitamin D, why deficiency is so common, and why understanding your overall health can be an important part of the fibroid conversation.

Have you ever had your vitamin D levels checked? 💭

London Fibroids Meet Up 🤍

Living with fibroids can sometimes feel incredibly isolating, so I wanted to create a space where we can simply meet, talk and connect with other women who understand.

Join me for an informal lunchtime meet-up to share experiences, swap what we’ve learnt and support one another, no pressure, no agenda, just an honest conversation over coffee.

📅 Thursday 20 August
⏰ 12:30–2pm
📍 Brixton Blend, London
🤍 Hosted by Polly Thompson

Drop in for a coffee, sandwich or just a chat — I’ll be sitting in the coffee shop window.

If you’ve been diagnosed with fibroids, I’d love to meet you. 🤍 Join via the link in bio!

The hardest part of living with fibroids for me? The exhaustion.

It’s not just feeling a little tired. It’s the kind of fatigue that can affect your work, your plans, your mood and how much energy you have for everyday life.

For a long time, I didn’t realise just how much my fibroids were impacting my energy — I simply learnt to push through it.

If you’re living with fibroids, what symptom has been the hardest for you? 🤍

We’ve been taught that painful periods are just something to “put up with.”

But pain that stops you living your life isn’t something you should ignore. If your symptoms feel severe, persistent or are getting worse, it’s worth asking questions and seeking support.

You deserve answers, not dismissal. 🤍

Finding out you have fibroids can bring up a lot of questions, especially when it comes to fertility.

The good news? Many women with fibroids go on to conceive naturally and have healthy pregnancies. 🤍

Fibroids can sometimes affect fertility, depending on their size and location, but they do not automatically mean infertility. If you’re trying to conceive, understanding your options, supporting your overall health and having the right conversations with your healthcare team can make all the difference.
