Does having fibroids affect getting pg?

i had a gyn appt the other day & my dr did an ultrasound and found many fibroids and a cyst on one of my ovaries. the good news is that neither the fibroids or the cyst aren't very big. she wanted to put me on BC pilss but since we've been ttcing for sometime now after a m/c in 2002. i didn't want that option. she put me on a drug called prometrium, that i guess thins my uterine lining and lessens the pain and clots i have during my cycle. having to deal w/this is not a good thing as it also is affecting OTHER areas of my lifew/my hubby. so my question is since we are putting the ttc on hold trying to focous on getting me healthy should i discuss taking the BC pills as i've heard it elps to shrink the cyst and fibroids . we have no children btwn us,so it's a big decision. i've been on them once before b/c i had desmorrhea(bleeding outside of cycle) which come to think of it may have been the fibroids. idon't want any surgeries as i just had a tumor removed from by brain 6mos ago.

so i'm not ready for any more surgeries as i'm still healing from that,so i'm definitely looking for more non evasive ways in dealing w/this. also my identicle twin had the same problems but she had 4 kids by the time they b/c a problem and had a hysterectomy at 32. i'm 37 now so i'm running out of options. can anyone whose been on this medication tell how it works and if it helps or if i should just do the BC pilss. my gyn has also scheduled me for an utltrasound w/radiology so she can get better details on my situation and my dr.s from another state still haven't sent my records so she can view the films from the hystopediocardiogram(HSG) i had done back in 2005. so i'm in limbo ttc. so any advice would be welcomed. also any homeopathic remedies are welcomed. thanks in advance

The fibroid tumors can cause a lot of problems; I ended up having a complete hysterectomy when I was 28; fortunately I had a daughter.

A friend of mine didn't think she could get PG because of similar of problems, her little girl is going on 3 now. She may never have another -- she is in her late 30's too.

If you want to have a child, then work on it now, while you have time.

God bless.

One of my friends sister had this and she has ben unable to have children as a result but with medication I think they can go away and you could have kids.

I'm only 20 and tbh don't understand all of what you said. I think you should ask your doctor/gyn. They went to school to help you with these kind of things so they probly know more then some. They will understand your concerns.
Also about the question about the pill or ttc w/e that is. If its a big dissision take your hubby into the doctor with you ask all the questions make sure you both understand short/long term effects, side effects, anything and everything. Then when you get home make some tea or w/e and talk to him he'll want to be part of the dission too expecaily if its a big one.
When I got pregnet when I was 18 with the boyfriend I'm still with (love you Stephen) I took him to the doctors and we asked all the questions and hes catholic and wasn't sure on his idea of abortion, so we talked about it and we desided an abortion was the best.
Like I said I don't really know much of what your going though right now only because I've never been in your shoes nor do I know what ttc is (Well its a bus company where I am >_<.) I think for big dissions you need other people to suport you, not only in your choice but as a best friend, a husbond to have some one to lean on, and this is the best advise I can give.
Sorry about not really knowing, hope you can find some relief, good things happen to good people so keep your head high and pass on good charm.

Fibroids may or may not interfere with getting pregnant. It really depends on size and location. I have fibroids and for me they're not an issue. It sounds like in your case they may be.

There is a procedure called a laporoscopy where they go in through the belly button and remove fibroids. This is probably the least invasive way to have them removed. Very different from surgery with a scapel.

The best advice I can give you is to see a reproductive endocrinologist (RE). These doctors specialize in fertility and have a lot more knowledge in this area than a regular MD or a GYN. An RE probably won't recommend BC pills because their job is to GET you pregnant. I really think you should consider it. These doctors see patients every day who have major fertility issues, so they've seen it all. An RE will cut to the chase and know how to test you, diagnose you, and treat you. No run around for several months.

Good luck.

I agree with Rocker wife. Get with a RE.
where in the Brain was the Tumor, that also has a lot to do with it.
Also a lot of prays, which I extend out to you and your family.
