Hey ladies,
Just catching up on everyone’s updates! Congrats to those who have their BFPs, and sorry to those who are moving on to another cycle!
I should be ovulating over the next few days, so I’ll start testing tomorrow 🤞
In other news, I had a Well Woman scan recently, where they check your uterine lining, ovaries and look for things like cysts, endo and fibroids. I knew I had a tiny fibroid from a scan about 10 years ago, but I was surprised to find out that it’s now grown to 7cm, apparently around the size of an orange! 😮
Funnily enough, I’ve had absolutely no symptoms. They think it’s a subserosal fibroid, meaning it grows on the outer surface of the uterus, so it’s generally less likely to cause fertility issues as it doesn’t affect the uterine lining or, therefore, implantation. However, it is causing some downward displacement of the endometrial cavity.
I’m now, of course, Googling everything and from what I can see, this type of fibroid seems to be less concerning from a fertility perspective. I’ve shared the report with my GP to get their opinion, especially as we’re currently in the process of starting the ball rolling for possible IVF towards the end of the year.
I wondered if anyone here has had any experience with fibroids, particularly larger subserosal ones? Would be really interested to hear your experiences! ❤️
