Whether a woman with fibroids can get pregnant depends on the size and location of the fibroid. Pregnancy is not affected in most cases of fibroids, and may only be affected by larger fibroids and by the location of the growth that affects the opening of the fallopian tubes or the attachment of a fertilized egg. Fibroids may get bigger and grow to a certain extent compressing the fallopian tubes, which can easily cause infertility. Moreover, fibroids may change their position or degenerate with pregnancy, which may lead to abdominal pain and uterine contractions. In addition, uterine fibroids may cause miscarriage and may also lead to bleeding after delivery. It is recommended that women with fibroids go to the hospital for evaluation before preparing for pregnancy.
