I have fibroids as well. Did they say that actually affected your pregnancy? I know they can be problematic but from everything I've heard it's rate that they actually cause miscarriage.

Hey there,

I did go see an RE and after a number of tests he says he feels they are the reason we aren't getting pregnant. So he put me on Clomid and we just went with TI, so I was assuming we would have to do IUIs or IVFs but then we got pregnant in Nov. So now we are just trying and we will see. I will give it a few more months and go from there. I know they can complicate things, but I know that women do get pregnant with them and have healthy babies. My linesister just had a little boy a couple of months ago and she had a large fibroid. I think they just monitor you more.

If you don't mind, what exactly about yours is the issue? Is it because of the size, or location?

I think I have five, the largest being 4 cm. One doctor told me I should have them removed (I think he was just a surgery fanatic) . But everyone else said they were fine. The last woman I talked to was a specialist and she said she's had women with some the size of grapefruits or larger and still had healthy pregnancies. It's so hard to know. Mine are all suberosal , like in the lining I guess, and they basically said they're only a problem if they are protruding into the uterus. I had no trouble getting pregnant the first time, it happened our first cycle trying. Hoping it's the same, but with a happier outcome!

I'm on cd...14? I think. We dtd this morning, only the 2nd time this cycle. Hoping to again tonight or tomorrow. Judging by my cm, ovulation should be any day now! I was worried that I'd missed it but I don't think so now. Ready for the tww to be over and to see that :)

How are the rest of you ladies?!

Hello ladies,

Tcinks I did test again and it was positive :) I'm just praying this baby sticks!!

How's everything coming along?

Yay yay yay! :) So excited for you! I hope everything goes smoothly and please keep us updated. How are you feeling?

Good afternoon ladies!

tcinks, I actually had a myomectomy in 2009 and they removed 12 fibroids! At this time they just say there are number of them, but my uterine cavity is perfectly fine and none are hindering it. My RE doesn't want to do another surgery so for now it's just about implementation I believe. FX'd for you and it sounds like you are well in tune with your body! Hope the TWW isn't too bad for you :)

deborah88, congrats! Praying all goes well for you this time and I bet it will :)

AFM, I am cd26 today and prior to the MC my cycles were about 32 days, but last month I started on 28 days after the MC. So I am not sure what will happen this time, would be wonderful if we were pregnant, but I have faith in time it will happen.

Hello ladies,
Today has been a rough day. I feel very nauseated and bloated :/, so I've been eating crackers and sipping on ginger ale hopefully this feeling will go away.

Tcinks and JLHart22 thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it :) I hope you both get pregnant soon!

Deborah, I hope you are feeling better today! Thanks for the well wishes :)

Thinks, hope all is well with you...

AFM, I have been in the house all day sleeping off and on...went to sleep with a headache and still have one slightly. Not sure what's going on?!
