Uterine fibroids because she doesn't think that she would be able to carry the baby to full term. She said that she looks like she is already 3-4 months pregnant. We got our results back last week. I am fine and the HSG showed that everything was

Clear-atadine
Clear-atadine children's. The fibroid was measured to have a diameter of 12 cm and a base of about 6 cm. They also found 2 small ~2cm fibroids in the walls of the uterus. Her FSH level was an 11.4.
The doctor recommends that we start a round of treatments to do a IUI. She wants to skip the pill and start her right on the injections.
Our concern is the statement she made about taking out the fibroid. We understand that fibroids are dependent on her estrogen levels and can get much bigger with pregnacy. We brought up her comment about taking the fibroid out first and she said not to worry about it -"Let's see what happens." She explained that if you take the fibroid out then you can suffer from scar tissue.
We don't know what to do. Should we go ahead with the IUI and hope for the best? Should we take out the fibroid and then try the IUI? From your experience - what would you recommend.
Thanks!
