Pregnancy and a Fibroid

by Werita, Jul 06, 2007 12:00AM
I want to know if a growing fibroid prevents me from not getting pregnant. What are some medications for fibroids?

I had two fibroids removed but only because RE was going in there to look for endo.  Otherwise he said he never would have removed then and said they would not have affected my fertility.  Since then he found one more small fibroid and I got my bfp about a week ago..

I think they can affect your fertility, but it depends on where they are and how big they are..  They are very common.  I think like 60% of all women have them..

Take care.. Sorry I couldn't' be more specific..

There are no meds for fibriods.  The best thing to do is try to stay away from is caffeine.  It does effect growth.  You will need a test called a HCG.  It is an XRay of your uterus and fallopian tubes.  It will tell you precisely where your fibroid is and if it will be possible to grow a baby inside with it.  I have 2 fibroids but they are located up high and not intruding where the baby will grow.
Ask your OBGYN to send you to get this test.  Mine was covered by insurance.
