pregnant with fibroids after previous stillborn

[taura0206]

Hello, I am currently 9 weeks pregnant and went in for my ultrasound this week then was told I have fibroids. I have had a stillborn 7 years ago and this is my first time becoming pregnant since. At my initial appointment to confirm pregnancy the doctor stated that I would need to take progestorone shots starting at 14 weeks. From what I have been reading,progesterone makes fibroids larger,is this true? This will be my first child and I would really like to be able to carry this child to term.what are my options? The doctors aren't very thorough at explaining anything and each time I have an appointment it's a new doctor. I'm unable to choose a doctor due to me being high risk and on medical so I have to go to the state hospital. I just don't know what to do I am so stressed about this I want a healthy baby I don't even care what the sex is.

Hi - I'm so sorry for your loss! I had a loss at the beginning of the second trimester and then went on to get pregnant/deliver successfully twice afterward. I had fibroids during all 3 of those pregnancies. The fibroids did not contribute to my loss. I've always read the opposite - that fibroids grow due to estrogen dominance, and in my experience, that is true in that mine always grow during pregnancy and shrink afterwards. Do you know what type of fibroid you have? There are several different types and each have a different impact on pregnancy.
