I've got this really big fibroid on the back wall of my uterus and my periods are normal, but the fibroid is like 13 cm. Should I consider getting surgery for it, or would trying homeopathic medicines be better? I'm really unsure about what to do and would love some advice.

For a fibroid of that size, surgical intervention is usually recommended to address the issue effectively. Homeopathic medicines may not be able to shrink a fibroid of that size significantly. I would advise consulting with a gynecologist to discuss the surgical options available, such as a myomectomy or hysterectomy, based on your individual case.

I'm looking for advice on safe ways to prevent pregnancy aside from using condoms. Could you share some options that are completely risk-free and safe?

Aside from condoms, the most reliable and safe methods to avoid pregnancy include hormonal birth control (like birth control pills, patches, or implants), intrauterine devices (IUDs), and permanent solutions like sterilization. It's important to consult your doctor to choose the method best suited to your health and lifestyle.

I had an ultrasound that showed an enlarged uterus with a large subserosal fibroid measuring 148.8 cm in the right lateral wall and areas of early degeneration, plus another subserosal fibroid in the anterior wall measuring 1.72.2 cm. My ET is 8mm. One doctor recommended surgery, but two others suggested trying to conceive first. I don't have children yet and I'm really confused about what to do should I prioritize surgery or try to get pregnant with these fibroids?

I had a D&C for a blighted ovum on the 1st of October and here we are a month later on November 1st, and I still haven't gotten my period. My doctor is out of town, so I'm unable to consult her right now. Can I go ahead and take Deviry 10mg to try and induce my periods? I've taken it before based on my doctor's advice. Is it okay to take Deviry a month after a D&C to help start my period?

Wait for a week more ,if its still delayed then visit your docotor for appropriate management.
