fibroid surgery and TTC

by tigerlily1970, Jun 16, 2006 12:00AM
Has anyone had abdominal surgery (myomectomy) to remove firboids? If so, how long did you have to wait after the surgery to TTC?
Did you have trouble conceiving after the surgery?

How big is your fibroid?

by tigerlily1970, Jun 16, 2006 12:00AM
thanks for the link and sharing your story. I'm sorry about your loss.

I've know about my fibroids for quite some time. My doctor was taking a wait and see appproach until I had the HSG that showed the tube problem. Whether the fibroids are compressing the tubes or the tubes are just blocked on their own, I need the surgery before any next steps (probably IVF).

I have two - one is about 5.5 cm. x 5 cm, the other is about 4x5 cm. They have caused my uterus to enlarge to the size of about a 14 week pregnancy. My doctor thinks one of them is compressing one of my tubes (both tubes appeared blocked on my HSG a few weeks ago).

My reply does not answer your question. I'm just explaning my situation.I have a fibroid much bigger than yours. I had a m/c last month. Though my doctor said my m/c is not due to the presence of Fibroid. I didnot know of the fibroid prior to my U/s before my m/c. Doc said that the fibroid must have grown due to the pregnancy harmones. I had regular periods. So my doc told me to wait and see until they create a probelm in future. There is a link which might help you.
