I was dealing with some pretty intense back pain from my 15th through my 19th week of pregnancy.

Fibroids and fertility issues

Your response truly brightened my day! I am curious about how large your intramural fibroids were before you became pregnant, and how long it took for you to conceive? My doctors have been incredibly alarmist about my situation, so I just can't seem to relax.
Best regards!

Kimberly Martinez58 said:Megan Brooks19 , my fibroid was intramural, which I believe means it's located within the uterine wall. That is likely much more complicated than external ones, just like you mentioned.
An intramural fibroid is one situated right within the uterine muscle itself. This means it is integrated into the muscle tissue rather than protruding into the uterine cavity, so it won't interfere with a baby. A fibroid like that shouldn't cause any issues with conception; instead, it might eventually present challenges during labor due to contraction coordination. I personally have three intramural fibroids and one subserosal one, and conceiving was absolutely no problem at all. Just try to relax and not stress yourself out. Wishing you the best of luck!

I am wondering if it is possible to conceive after having surgery for uterine fibroids.
Has anyone here had a similar experience?
Also, is it actually possible to get pregnant while still having fibroids?
I had my surgery and have been trying to conceive for 10 months now.🙄
My doctors explained that the main issue when trying to conceive is usually fibroids located inside the uterus, rather than what are called external or subserosal fibroids. It is also important to note that there is an increased risk of miscarriage later in pregnancy when dealing with fibroids. With subserosal fibroids, the biggest challenge is typically during the first three months before the uterus rises out of the pelvic cavity. Until then, their size can cause complications (which was my specific situation).
