Hi all,
For the last few weeks I have been feeling really horrible. I have no energy and as soon as I do anything (even walking upstairs) I become extremely tired and my hands start shaking.
I went to the doctors and they have drawn blood and did an internal scan as the doctor is worried that my fibroids may be causing to much blood loss and leaving me iron deficient. At the scan, they picked up a big fibroid, which is pushing on my endometrial wall.
I am so worried that this is the reason why I have had the miscarriages and that if they need to remove it, it may mean that I won't be able to get pregnant.
When I was first diagnosed as having IF, I was told that I had fibroids, but because they are all growing outside the uterus, they weren't the cause of my IF (which is still unexplained). I also had a scan about 2 years ago when I tried my second IVF that still showed my fibroids growing outside the uterus...
But now there seems to be that the biggest is growing inside!
I am so worried, has anyone else had fibroids in the uterus and successfully had a child?

I hope someone on here can answer your question and provide good news. Hang in there! Big hugs!
Very sorry to hear about what you are going through. Be strong and keep the faith, which is the most important. A friend of mine had light fibroids and she also has two beautiful children.
Please first take care of yourself, if tomorrow you are not able to stand on your own two feet, it will be difficult to take care of anyone, be it your family or even preparing your body for a baby! It sounds harsh , nevertheless the plain truth! Also easy for me to say this, however having gone through the IVF journey, i realized if a process can take so much from your body , mind and soul , after some time , one has to take a step back and think & make choices.....So your health and body is of utmost importance now, all the best and be strong!
