Re: Hi, I'm New . Can you get pregnant with 7 fibroids?

Hi Pikea,

I am living proof that you can get pg with multiple

fibroids. I had an abdominal myomectomy 5 years ago

to remove 15 fibroids. Then they came back with a

vengeance, confirmed in an u/s I had in January 2003.

But my doctor knew I was getting married in April so

she recommended ttc as soon as possible after we got

married rather than getting a 2nd myo. She said it

could be very difficult to conceive b/c of the

fibroids so my husband and I started trying right away

thinking it would take a year. Well, to our surprise,

I got pg right away! I too am 34 and now I have a

beautiful healthy baby girl (Paige). There are many

other women who have gotten pg with fibroids as you

will hear from them too. The only thing I wish my

doctor had warned me about is the potential problems

that fibroids can cause during pregnancy. I wouldn't

change what I did and am going to try again in a

couple of months without surgery but it would have

helped to know the problems I you can encounter (which

I did). I was on bed rest for 5-1/2 months. Some

women have no problems; others, like me have a lot of

problems during their pregnancies. I just think being

more educated helps! Good luck!
