Hi Li Hau,

You should ask a fertilty speacialist whether treating your fibroids would make

less fertile.

If you have any information to share with me to help

Hi Li,

I am in the exact same position. I recently visited a Reproductive

endocrynologist about my fibroids and he said that since mine

(I also have 3 largest is 12cm)are located on the outside of my

uterus (I had an MRI) he didn't believe they would cause any

fertility problems and surgery could possibly make it difficult to

concieve . My gyno said to have surgery for sure. So maybe your

fibroid location should be taken into consideration before

deciding. The RE also said that 1/3 of fibroids grow during

pregnancy, 1/3 shrink, and 1/3 stay the same so you never

know... I'm not sure what to do either.

Good luck
