Fibroids and ttc

[Nappyhead]

Hi all - I've been ttc#2 for a year now. It took 18 months with DS and I am 35.
I've went to the GP and had the usual blood tests - all were fine except that I was VERY anaemic. The GP asked if I had heavy periods - I said yes, very. The GP just gave me some iron pills and I went home.

Luckily - I posted on here and as usual, the info was far better than I received. Someone suggested I should go back and ask for more investigations in to the cause - rather than just treating the symptoms.

I did - and thankfully I got a very good female GP this time who rolled her eyes when I told her I had just been given iron. She's referred me for a scan in a couple of weeks and suspects I could have fibriods.

Has anyone had this before. The GP said fibriods can act as a coil and stop you conceiving. Anyone had any experience of this. If I do have them - will they just remove them and then all will be fine? Is there any chance I will conceive? Could that be why it took so long last time?

Yes, you can still conceive if you have fibroids, but your chances of conception MAY be slighter.
I had fibroids but still managed to conceive.
Found out I was pregnant the day before I was going to go in for day surgery to have them removed.
