Hi leeann. Well, it’s seems as if you got the “nasty” bit over with! Anything which can get into the way of the implantation of a developing embryo is best rid of if possible. I’m sure that when you go back for your next consultation, you will both be given the go ahead for your IVF. I do wish you both well with the outcome. Kind regards Diane

Hi,

I had a fibroid removed in November and conceived the following March via IVF. So I agree with Diane - it's best to have fibroids removed, to give yourself the best chance of implantation. Good luck.

I feel a little more hopeful now thanks girls. I had a fibroid resection done as couldn't have it removed because of its position. Been told to leave it 4-6 weeks before my next IVF cycle, as i have a small window of oppotunity as it may start to grow back. Lets hope we are lucky this time round.
