My wife had multiple uterine fibroids prior to her getting pregnant with twins. So, obviously, we were able to conceive and get quite pregnant. The OB kept an eye on the fibroids since they were getting extra blood during the pregnancy and did grow quite large. There was concern that they could crowd the girls, cause issues with the uterine walls, complicate delivery by getting in the way, etc.
As it turns out, they never grew too big .. the largest was about the size of an orange, I think, which is much smaller than the OB said they could grow.
Since the girls were born, about 4 years ago, the fibroids never did return to their pre-pregnancy size. My wife’s uterus stayed the size of a 3-month pregnancy and the fibroids began to calcify and become very sensitve and she had a hysterectomy recently to resolve those issues.
I’m no professional but I think one ovary is enough to conceive, but i’m not sure about the fibroid. You might want to ask a doctor.
sure as long as the right ovary is able to produce eggs that will travle along the fallopian tube to the uterus.implantation of the fretilised egg may take place on various parts of the uterus, so u cl get pregnant but might wana watch the fibroid in the uterus since it ld affect the implanted blastocysts develpment into a baby by compression somehow. pls check with a qualified doc though to verify.
It is possible to conceive, but you need to seek a good medical assessment due to a dual problem. A uterine fibroid may or may not cause problems for conception. However, if the fibroid is large enough it could weaken the uternine wall and cause serious problems on a not C section delivery. Also it could prevent conception if it blocks ovualtion or sperm. The fact of one ovary is not a problem provided the remaining ovary is healthy and no other problems are present.
