Have you dealt with your uterine fibroids using CAM techniques?

By CAM, I of course I mean complimentary & alternative medicine.
I just found out that the menstrual chaos I've been suffering from is due to uterine fibroids. I don't like any of my allopathic options. I don't like the pill because I believe that forcing fake hormones into my body is not a good idea for me. I don't want to have any of the surgeries because either a) the fibroids will probably just come back, or b) I may become infertile. I always say I never want children & I've never had a relationship but I still have at least 10 years left of potential & the thought of ruining it forever is a bit scary. What if some bizarre miracle happens & I meet someone that I want to be with & have kids with?
So I'm wondering if anyone out there has been successful in dealing with fibroids naturally. Perhaps with acupuncture, herbs, supplements, etc. Even progesterone cream would be a better option.
Or, maybe just answer how you DID deal with them, & if it worked, no matter what it was.

I have friends who have had fibroids but they have never done anything with complementary alternative treatments. I would recommend checking for a gynecologist that does alternative treatments (they are available in some towns) to see what kind of options they might recommend.

I did read of a newer way to treat fibroids using ultrasound that was supposed to be very promising.

I have the link to a site that may help you find even more information. It's at: http://forums.obgyn.net/womens-health
