Large Fibroid before TTC

Hi ladies! I have a 12cm fibroid on the outside of my uterus in the back, plus multiple fibroids located in the subserosal and intramural tissues. (All outside of the uterus). I don't have any heavy bleeding or much pain, and the large fibroid shows signs of dying. My obgyn just referred me to "infertility specialists" to talk to about how it might impact pregnancy. My bf and I are planning to start TTC this summer.

I understand that fibroids tend to grow during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester, and can be quite painful. I'd really love to hear from you how you dealt with fibroids through your pregnancy and TTC journey. Did you try to shrink your fibroids first? Anyone try taking Lupron or Depoprovera to shrink them? Choose embolisation or a myomectomy?

That is wonderful! Congratulations!! Wishing you a blissful pregnancy and easy birth. 🙏🏽

Did you do anything specific to prepare your body for pregnancy before conceiving?

Hello, I found out I had fibroids when I was trying for a baby. I had a Myomectomy (through the vagina) to remove two that were in the lining and so most problematic. It was straight forward op, day surgery, took 1-2 days to recover.
Got pregnant a couple of months afterwards.
BUT other smaller fibroids have grown in 1st trimester and I’m now in a lot of pain. Taking painkillers, but not sure much else that can be done. Although not had Consultant appointment yet (which is v annoying). Baby seems ok, but pain may continue all 9 months (it’s not great).

congratulations!
May I ask, did your dr say how your fibroid may prevent you from getting pregnant since it’s out of the uterus?

I had a fibroid surgically removed before finally getting pregnant the following cycle. It was also our 5th round of IUI and I was upped to 100mg of clomid.

hi Amy can i send you a message?

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Ovulation test

I know this group is for pregnancy test but just want to double check this ovulation test is positive. I haven’t had a positive ovulation test in months and months I think Im gonna cry. When is best to have sex after a positive ovulation test and how likely is it to get pregnant?

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??
