Fibroids

PPL2011

Today I had a saline sonogram (where they filled my uterus with water) to see if my intramural fibroid was distorting the shape of my uterus. It is not, however the RE found a smaller fibroid inside my uterus and she said that I should get it removed asap. She said the recovery time would be 2 months. My RE is going to talk to my OB/GYN to see if we should remove both (the one inside and the one outside) and that recovery would be 6 months. If I have to go that way the RE is suggesting to freeze good quality embryos. 

My question is, if the fibroid inside my uterus is really small can't a fertilized egg just implant elsewhere in the uterus? I know I should have asked that simple question when I was there this morning. But I was trying to fight back tears and remain clam.

Anyone have any experience with fibroids?

I had several fibroids and the question to ask is what type of fibroid do you have.  If the smaller fibroid is pedunculated (on a stalk) then it could definitely interfere with implantation.  Also, your RE may be concerned with the fibroid increasing in size -one of my fibroids was the size of a grapefruit. My RE removed my fibroids and we had to wait three mos. after surgery before we could TTC.  I know that more waiting isn't what you had hoped for but the surgery should increase your chances for becoming PG.

I have subserosal fibroids.  it was suggested to leave them as surgery could cause scarring that could hinder a pregnancy.
