Can Uteran Fibroids cause a miscarriage or infertility?

I have 3 small fibroids in my uterus and I was told that they would not affect getting pregnant by my doctor. I recently had a miscarriage and then D&C and was wondering if the fibroids had anything to do with this?

They can. It depends on the size, number, and location of the fibroids.
You might want to have an ultrasound done by a fertility specialist, who could give you a better idea of whether or not yours are likely to cause problems for you.
I am so sorry for your loss–I’ve been there too.
It sounds likely, but It depends on your situation. It depends on where they are, and where the baby implants. Sometimes they can interfere with the baby’s growth, especially if they are interfering with the placenta. Sometimes the baby uses them for extra nourishment and this keeps them from growing to big. You will have to do an ultrasound and ask your doctor for sure. He/she will tell you if you need to have them removed before getting pregnancy.
