Fibroid question (new to this)

So I’ve been having severe abdominal pain. Bleeding heavier, been fatigue. All this in waves and around my cycle.

And literally felt an enlarged knot in my abdomen.

When to a different Obgyn (mine was dismissive when i asked for an ultrasound) 🙄

Come to find out, i have 3 fibroids (7cm, 3cm, 2cm) I’ve learned fibroids are common. So that’s a little relief.

My ob suggested i take BC (never taken BC) 🙄 but 2020 I’m going to try it out!

I really want to get it surgically removed (not the laser surgery).

I’m scared abt this whole ordeal! I don’t have children (want some maybe one day)

Can someone share there fibroid journeys with me? Did taking BC help you pain and blood flow? Does changing what you eat help shrink them? Was the surgery a success?

I’m unsure abt everything lol but the pain is literally for the birds 😩😭

Thanks!
