Fibroids

[Sa777ra]

Hello ladies

I’m writing to you while I’m crying, feeling alone and destroyed.

I had a miscarriage last December, at week 11it was heartbroken, it was my third ivf cycle .

I have got multiple fibroids and they removed two and the surgeon advised me to leave the rest of it , I contacted my clinic to transfer my last frozen embryo, l did scan before it too.

A new consult at the clinic said to me , you can’t get pregnant with all this fibroids, and it is normal to end up with miss carrying.

Now I’m waiting for new operation to remove the fibroids, I’m pretty shocked, how can they do it for me, two failed cycle and miscarriage, they mislead me.

I’m going to be 39,I can’t believe how much I waste my time trying to get pregnant in this unreliable place.

Hi there,

I dont have any advice regarding the fibroids sorry but just wanted to say how sorry i am to hear all you have been through. This really is a rubbish journey. I have also been through failed cycles and a mc so i know how heartbreaking it is. Good luck with your surgery and next steps xx

Hi lovely,

fibroids cause issues only in some cases, like if they're indenting the endometrium. I have a few, and my daughter is 1yo now <3

The new consultant said you can't get pregnant, but you did (I'm really sorry for your loss). Find a consultant you trust, and ask for another opinion.

Good luck!

Hi

Yes they said it’s in the cavity of my womb.

Aw what a nightmare for you, sorry to hear what you’ve been through. I’d definitely try and seek a second opinion. I had fibroids removed at 39 and fell pregnant at 41 naturally after failed IVF, if that gives you any hope.xx

Aww thank you so much, it does.

I m feeling down and I lost all my hope!

I am really sorry to hear this! And I understand somewhat how you feel! I have never been pregnant however, so can’t understand that loss you feel and I am so sorry! I had a large fibroid removed in September 2019, was told ivf was unlikely to be successful with it there, but mine was rather big. It was only one, but sadly they can come back and have been told I now have a little one back again, but this time much smaller. We were hoping to start ivf pretty soon after my uterus recovered from surgery, but covid had other plans.. so just crossing what I have now hoping this fibroid is not growing at super speed. Due another scan soon to make sure it is ok before we start. My worries is they will tell me I need another surgery first again now as I have waited so long since I was told it has come back. So I feel heartbroken for you... but you are stronger than you think! You are not alone! Sending virtual hugs and thinking of you! Like others have said, sometimes a second opinion is needed! Wishing you all the best!

All the best for you, your kind words make me feel better and a little stronger.

Wish your fibroid not getting larger and you get pregnant this year!

Hello dear. I have multiple fibroids too which was diagnosed at 31. I was trying to conceive for 6years with two failed ivf. I got pregnant at 39 naturally. Pls pls pls try and avoid surgery as it affects the uterus. Seek for a second and third opinion. My gynaecologist advised me not to attempt surgery until I finish giving birth. My fibroids is at the muscle of my womb and caused me no issues during my pregnancy. God is the greatest healer and will see you through. Hugs. Your miracle is near.
