Does Femilon Cause Uterine Fibroids To Grow?

i have been suffering from breakthrough bleeding since i have started running. USG showed 5 fibroids the largest being around 2 cm. Doc has prescribed Femilon for 3 months. The internet says that Femilon can make the size of fibroids grow. Please advice. Should i wait to see if the breakthrough bleeding recurs before trying Femilon?
