Do Fibroids Affect Fertility
Do removal of uterine fibroids cause infertility?
I have two tiny fibroids in my uterine wall. It was discovered when i had a scan for fertility treatment. I am not infertile but have decided to go it alone with donor sperm. My consultant suggested a hysterescopy to remove them before starting IVF as the drugs stimulation would enlarge them and make them prod into my uterus which might prevent implantation. I am a bit concerned about taking them out because a few people have told me that taking them out will make it harder to get pregnant. Might cause scarring which would also affect implantation. I am getting mixed advice but any serious advice would assist. thanks so much. Avila
