uterine fibroids and pregnancy?


i have all the symptoms of uterine fibroids and my husband and i have been ttc for 6 months now with no luck...could this be why??

Answers:
If you think you have uterine fibroids, see a doctor about it before continuing to TTC.

I've been having some medical issues (seriously heavy periods, pain in my right ovary). I was going through the "let's see what this is" period and scheduling for surgery when I got pregnant again. I lost the baby. Uterine fibroids were one of the reasons given as a possible cause for the miscarriage.

I'm now on birth control (which we do not like and which I do not want to be on at all). I am going in for surgery in a couple of weeks (partial exploratory to see if I have any growths in my uterus, and a removal of the cyst with the potential removal of the whole right ovary).

This is something that could not only keep you from getting pregnant, but could cause you to lose a baby if you do get pregnant. I would wait until I got the all clear from a doctor to continue TTC... in a way, that's what we're doing now.

Good luck.
I think you'll be okay. I had one show up in my 2nd pregnancy and it was there for my third as well. I did just fine. Check with your doc and he/she may be able to make you feel better.
