| There is some consistency to the studies
that show that if fibroids are deviating the endometrium, they may
decrease fertility. The best article for this information is:

Antepartum myomectomy with a live term delivery--a
case report.
Clin Pract. 2007 Dec;10

"We report a case of successful myomectomy in
pregnancy. The patient, a 27 year old nulliparous, presented with 2
year history of progressive abdominal swelling and 13 weeks of
amenorrhoea. Abdomino-pelvic ultrasonography revealed a viable
intrauterine pregnancy at 18 weeks and 3 days; there was also a huge
mass with cystic component, extending from the pelvis to the whole of
the abdomen, with associated dilatation of the renal calyces
bilaterally; sonographic diagnosis of ovarian mass in pregnancy was
made. At exploratory laparotomy, a huge subserous leiomyoma
coexisting with pregnancy was found; myomectomy was done. The
rest of the pregnancy was uneventful, and the patient had spontaneous
vertex delivery of a live infant at term." |
