Does a fibroid interfere with pregnancy?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

How much a one mm fibroid impinging the upper part of the uterine cavity can interfere with pregnancy?

How much do 11 mm fibroids grow during pregnancy?

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Fibroid impinging on the endometrial lining can result in difficult implantation or abortion. But if the fibroid is on the outer aspect of the uterus or muscular layer, then it will not have much effect.

Do not worry. If you have any reports to share, please do so. Feel free to ask any questions or to share any additional information. God bless.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Please check my ultrasound reports.

The doctor has scheduled a blastocyst transfer.

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

No ultrasound (USG) reports have been found attached.

I request you to please share the relevant details and reports clearly for better assessment as nothing is attached to the query. Do not worry. I will wait for update from you to help you.

God bless.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Please go through all my reports. My frozen embryo transfer (FET) is scheduled.

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

In a patient with subfertility or infertility, these intramural fibroids slightly impinging on the endometrial cavity can affect implantation. Also, with endometriosis, the quality of eggs and the health of the endometrial lining plays an important role in conception. In your case, operative hysteroscopy is already done to correct the cavity.

So hopefully, it will help in conception. Take care.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Hysteroscopy was done two times in the past two years.

The scan was done last month. Nothing was visible on the scan taken before four months.

My FET is scheduled for tomorrow.

The doctor does not want to do more operative procedures and wants to take a chance for FET with top blastocysts. A donor embryo will be used.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I can understand everything. Do not worry. It is the right approach being taken.

Feel free to ask any questions or to share any additional information. God bless.
