If you had uterine fibroids, did you have them removed?


I was diagnosed with 6 uterine fibroids, one of them being the size of 16 weeks fetus (huge, huh?). I was told I should have them removed before trying to get pregnant. I'm scrared - what if the surgery makes things worse and I won't be able to have children at all? What is your experience.

I'm 35 years old.

They told me the same thing, then showed me the video, which wasn't very pleasant, and can ruin your chances of becoming pregnant. I'd go for a second opinion.

Surgery. My friend has them and she will have to do that but hers are severe and hurt her. Her mother has them and never had them removed.
