Anyone with Fibroids?

[AlwaysHoping]

Does anyone have any experience with fibroids and know if they affect implantation? I have been ttc for 5 years, unexplained, and my husband checks out perfect.  I've had one m/c at 8 weeks. I did my first IUI one week ago and I am just so worried about the fibroid, it is rather large but it is not intruding on the uterine cavity.  I am worried about implantation, and then how it will affect the baby's growth if it was succesful.  Thanks, and baby dust to all!

i spent 7 years TTC with multiple early m/c.  wasn't until my mock IVF transfer that they found i had 3 fibroids...surgery to remove them, then IVF cycle 1 resulted in my daughter.  i think they were definitely affecting our success

I ttc for over five years without success, then on 2008 had a myomectomy to remove 9 fibroids and was told that have endometriosis also which has my tubes completely blocked. I had my first IVF cycle last December and before I started the meds the RE told me that I had a small fibroid growing on the outside of my uterus and it should not be problem and it was not. On 1/2 Zi got my BFP and by the time I had my first US the fibroid had growth and I had another one growing. I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant and the fibroids have not growth any more they are about 6 cms each and have not bother me or the baby, I've had US every 6 weeks to monitor them. Don't worry about the fibroids, try to concentrate on your baby and think positive. Sending you lots of baby dust.

Wannaknow- I am so sorry to hear you have had so many losses, and about your fibroid. I know how hard it is when your body does not allow you to have the one thing you want so badly.  Please do let me know what your doc says.

I just found out yesterday that I have a fibroid growing in my womb. Doctor wouldn't even tell me what it was. I really want my own family so I will be asking my ganaecologist everything. If I find out anything that can help you I will most certainly let you know. It's hard finding out that you have polycystic ovaries and fibroid in one doctor visit, especially when all you want is a healthy baby. I've lost 6 over the years and now I understand why!! :( Best of luck to you!
