Bulge/fibroid but doctor not concerned - should I be?!

[ohmahgah]

Hi!

After 3 years of TTC without success, my husband and I got the results from the investigations yesterday.

Everything seemed pretty good and the doctor was positive about the prospects of IVF.

The only negative thing she mentioned was a "small bulge" that was apparent on my HSG. She thinks it might be a small fibroid but she wasn't concerned about it.

I wanted to ask people with more experience of this stuff whether you would recommend asking the doctor to look further into the potential fibroid? I don't like to push back when the doctor said it was fine, but I'm conscious we're limited to 3 rounds of IVF so if it even might be something that affects our chances it seems to me like it's worth investigating.

Thanks!

@ohmahgah Hello, i have one small fibroid which was found during my investigation scan. They were not bothered by it either, as they said it was very high up and far enough away from my ovaries not to impact on fertility. I have never had any symptoms from it and didn't know it was there before. So the location of the fibroid could be key.

I had one too and my dr wasn't bothered about it either as it wasn't in the way. As PP said the location of it is key! I did end up getting it removed on the NHS though as I had been to see the GP about it before looking into IVF so you could try your GP and get a referral? Might take a few months though so I guess it depends on how quickly you need to start.

Thanks both! Sounds like mine might be in a position where it won't affect anything too then, I really should have asked at the time but I'm hopeless at asking the right questions!
