I have fibroids. Could they affect my fertility?
Fibroids (14) can be found in 50% of women. Many women with several large fibroids conceive without difficulty and go on to have uneventful pregnancies and deliveries. If you are found to have fibroids that are not affecting the cavity of the womb, they probably have no effect on your fertility. Uterine fibroids distorting the uterine cavity, however, may perhaps reduce the chance of pregnancy.
