Does removing uterine fibroids increase or decrease the chance of getting pregnant?


I doctor told me it will encrease the chance for me, but I have heard the opposite from people.
I haven't even try to get pregnant yet.
I have one large fibroid and a few small ones.

Large as 16 weeks fetus.

The doctor who performed my surgery told me it could increase or decrease my chances for getting pregnant. The reason was b/c of my fibroids being in so many places(i had 7 golf ball size ones inside & out) they would have to cut and sew in different places that the scar tissue would make it harder. But he was very careful during the surgery and i have minimal scar tissue. So if you are planning on having this surgery done, make sure it's a dr who specializes in preserving the uterus and had plenty of experience w/ this type of surgery. Do your research!!! My surgery was done in April and now I am 7wks pregnant! Hope all goes well!

Most fibroids are not an issue. If you have a large one it may cause implantation issue. It depends where the large one is located.

How large is large? Is it like a grapefruit size? Where is the fibroid located? If you decide to remove the large one make sure you get a doctor who is experienced.

Small ones will not cause an issue.

I know a person that after she had them removed was pregnant and had the baby within a year.

I had a large on removed last Feb and am still TTC #1
