For most women, the prospect of becoming pregnant is a very exciting time. However, if you are aware that you have fibroids, you may be a little concerned about this and be wondering what the connection is between uterine fibroids and fertility and whether getting pregnant with fibroids is more difficult.

Firstly, you should feel reassured that most women with fibroids will have normal pregnancies, deliveries and births. Contrary to popular belief, fibroids do not increase during pregnancy-inde

ed in most cases they can actually shrink a little, but quickly regain their pre-pregnancy size after delivery.

However, fibroids can cause problems for a small number of women. The good news is that even for those who have problems, treatment is often successful. Research has shown that somewhere between 40% and 80% of women who have fibroids who have been diagnosed with “unexplained fertility” will go onto become pregnant following treatment for their fibroids.

There can be a link between

uterine fibroids and fertility issues where fibroids block the entrance to either the cervix or fallopian tubes. The blockage can completely hinder the passage of sperm, thus preventing a pregnancy occurring.

For a minority of women, although fertilization may not be a problem, a submucosal fibroid, which grows just beneath the lining of the uterus, can distort the uterine cavity and prevent the successful implantation of the fertilized egg. On other occasions, implantation may occur but a mi

scarriage may happen before a woman even knows she is pregnant.

If you are aware of having fibroids and are considering starting a family within the not too distant future, it makes sense to prepare your body for your forthcoming pregnancy. Eating a healthy diet at all times is always advisable, but you should ensure that you are getting the correct nutritional balance to get your body in optimum condition. If you are overweight, now is the time to drop a few pounds, and this in itself can help to shrink fibroids. In addition, there are steps you can take immediately to help you minimize any possible impact of your fibroids if you are concerned about the connection between uterine fibroids and fertility.
