Fibroids 😫

Hello everyone. I just wanted to see if there were anyone who have dealt with fibroids before becoming pregnant. I am 29 years old and have been ttc since December 2016. I found out in June of 2017 that I have huge fibroids that need to be removed before I am able to safely conceive. I have undergone two hysterscopic myoma in order to take care of my issue. I am now potentially facing a third time doing this same procedure due to not being able to fully remove the fibroid during my second procedure. I was told that if a third time won’t do the trick, they would have to do a more invasive procedure and make an incision through my uterine lining. I feel extremely frustrated because I am beginning to lose hope in having a baby. I have been trying to remain optimistic and have been telling myself that I am taking the right steps to rectify this but my anxiety is getting the best of me. My doctors are hopeful that I will be able to conceive naturally once the fibroid issue is taken care of. The only positive thing that has come from these procedures is that my period has gotten a lot better and manageable. If I can receive feedback that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you.

I have had 2 myomectomies as well... they did go through my uterine lining last time though. They only seemed to care about me knowing that if i did conceive, i would have to have a c-section and would be considered high risk.

Found out I have fibroids

Is it possible to still conceive and have a healthy pregnancy with fibroids ? I found out on 11/30 that I have uterine fibroids , I didn’t get any more info from the doctor at the ER , waiting for my apt with my Ob/gyn . I had a MC on 9/2 , I’m assuming the fibroids weren’t there then because the doctor never mentioned anything about them before until November .

Depends where they are and how big. I had two removed, one was quite large, and I have one small one still there, but I just had a baby in September, two years after my surgery.

Hysteroscopy with Lupron?

Has anyone ever had a hysteroscopy with Lupron pre treatment for fibroid removal? If so, were you able to successfully conceive after? I was recently diagnosed and presented with this as an option. I've heard various things about Lupron side effects and want to learn more.

I just had stronger periods. With my first pregnancy I found out that I have fibroids after 8 weeks I had a miscarriage. I had focused Ultrasound Therapy and a half year later got pregnant and now I have a almost 4 months old baby.

Is the fibroid big?

I was recently diagnosed with 7.5 cm fibroid. Is that large??

HA

You should see another Dr. or a fertility Dr. other doctors only offer hysterectomy like that’s the only option. It’s not. Don’t waste your time. I feel I did because no dr. was supportive, for years I’ve heard the same thing.

I just had my baby almost 4 months ago, I had two fibroids and a miscarriage as well. I had focused Ultrasound Therapy and got pregnant immediately after 6 months.

Terrible news and losing hope

Yesterday I visited Magee Women's hospital in Pittsburgh to see a fibroid specialist. They read the scans from my MRI and were in complete shock. When they showed me the MRI I immediately started crying. My uterus has upwards of 25-30 fibroid tumors of different sizes. I only found out I had fibroid tumors in August of this year. My husband and I have been TTC for 2 +years and now I finally know why. If they try to remove the tumors, I will not have a uterus left. I can try the Embolization as a temporary fix that will give my husband and I a chance to conceive, but the specialists are not hopeful. The procedure would be more for giving me relief from my hellish periods. My uterus is measuring at 16 weeks pregnant, but I'm only pregnant with tumors, and not the baby we've been praying for for years.

Go

U don’t have to remove all the fibroid. Tell ur surgery to remove the fibroids above 5cm to 15cm . So just the larger once like 10 or so. A good surgeon would not try to remove all the fibroid that’s dangerous to u and ur uterus So us till have ur uterus left to carry ur baby .

I would recommend a myomectomy. Recently had 2. The first was more intense. Recovery time was about 2 weeks.

2 + years TTC and find out why 😢

Hi, I'm really new to all of this, but my husband and I have been together for 8 years, married for 2 and been TTC since 1 month before we got married. In the last 6 months we've been to multiple doctors and have found out he has low sperm count, and very recently found large mass fibroid tumors in my uterus. I am being sent to a specialist at Magee Women's in Pittsburgh, PA at the end of the month. Im having trouble finding people who understand because all my best friends were able to start families right away. Please send some good vibes my way ❤ I'll continue to send them yours as well!

Hi there, I had trouble conceiving for 18 months because of the fibroid and my high Prolactin levels. It took so many visits to the Reproductive endocrinologist to get a an answer as to what was causing my infertility. Doctors told me because my submucosal fibroid was so small it shouldn't of been a problem. But after fixing my Prolactin levels I still was not conceiving. I finally found a RE that agreed with me that the fibroid was hindering implementation. So I just got it removed 3 weeks ago via hysterscopy myomectomy. They removed it vaginally with no scarring. I felt I healed in 2 weeks. The doctor told me to have it done Laparoscopically, but I said no way!! Unless, it's outside the uterus then I probably would've considered removing it laparoscopically. I would've gotten a 2nd opinion somewhere else with an RE who could. I feel a renewed sense of hope. I would recommend getting 2nd, 3rd and even 4th opinions. Research your options and find out what is best for you with your Drs guidance, and a lot of prayers. Don't give up hope!
