I had a fibroid removed in June. I dont have a success story yet. We also have male infertilty. I think having it removed can definaltly increase your chances of conceiving though. Good luck :)

I had a myomectomyfor a large fibroid back in 2006.  SO far, no luck.  But I was told I HAD to get it removed if I wanted to keep a pregnancy.. it was a real biggun!

I had a huge fibriod removed 1 yr ago, and I have been PG twice since. I MC'd them both, but that has nothing to do w/ the fibriod. Also we used IVF to get PG both times.

I had two fibroids removed. One was on the outside wall of my uterus and the other was in the wall lining.  I got pg 3 months later but that one didn't work out (ectopic) and then again about 2 months after that. My son is now 7 months old.

Well, this Friday will be 15 weeks after my removal. I was able to start trying just about 1 week ago.  i have to wait til Sunday to see if I conceived.  I am so sick of the waiting game. Planning out every month really stinks! I guess from all my research...7 months seems to be the lucky conception month after fibroids. So, I guess if it didn't work this time, I am that much closer to getting pregnant the next month.

Hello, its me again! Okay I waited my 3 month post op surgery. after that the first month of trying I had a test where they look in my uterus with a scope...all looked good. The next month I had a HSG ( tube dye test) After that I was told my right tube got blocked. ( I heard after pelvic surgery adhesions can do that) Now i was thinking my left tube is open so now it will take twice as long to get pregnant. My Dr. did not seem worried & said I can still get pregnant. Well, after that test my menstraul never came. Come to find out I got pregnant. So, now my doctor thinks that HSG cleared that tube & I got pregnant that month. I am nine weeks pregnant & the heartbeat is perfect 144 bpm on week 6 day 1. I can't wait for my 12 week appointment. So guys...I have answered my own question. It took me 6 months to get pregnant after fibroid removal. 3 mths of trying. Makesure you get that HSG, if their is some slight obstruction....it will blow it out!!!!!
I am very excited. baby dust to all  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
