Re: Conceiving after Ab. Myo

[Guest guest]

Hi Pam,

I think it depends on the location & size of your fibroids when they

are removed, as well as how much scar tissue your body forms after

they are removed.

I just had my post op appt. this week & asked my Dr. that very

thing...she said that for me, because my fibroids were all on the

outside of my uterus that they should have no impact on my ability

to conceive. I hope she is right! )

Your situation is similar to mine (fibroids caused HUGE problems

with first pregnancy) and for me, I wanted my fibroid gone before we

have another baby - I was willing to take my chances with the

surgery so that hopefully I will not have the same problems next

time. I've been advised to wait at least 4 months to try to

conceive again.

Good luck to you with your surgery - I'll be thinking of you next

week.
