Had an MRI done to diagnose pain I've been having in my back. They found 4 fibroids, the biggest one measuring a little over an inch located on the uterus. Uterus is normal otherwise. Has anyone had fibroids removed because it was making it hard to conceive naturally or with assisted fertility? I am curious just how much fibroids can affect fertility. I am wondering if fibroids have been the reason why I have painful periods (regular cycles, only 3 days long).
