[quote=Anonymous]Are the fibroids gone now?  (I know you had them removed, but just checking to be sure they didn't grow back).  I had 2 fibroids, both very small, that I had checked out in further detail after about 4-5 months of TTC.  They were worried about 1 due to its location - could potentially have been blocking implantation.  Ultimately the RE recommended against removal though warned it could take longer for TTC due to the fibroids location.  Also - the fibroid had not changed the shape or size of my uterus, which is another thing RE's look for - and was not blocking either fallopian tube.

I did have very heavy periods as well, but was never diagnosed as anemic.

It took us about 6 months to conceive.  If it had gone much longer, I would have considered removal.  The RE told me that removal is completely safe, so I feel sure you're just fine as far as that goes.

Also, I started accupuncture about 3 months into the process and I feel it really helped me.  My periods very quickly into treatment became more consistent with reduced clotting/flow (they were extremely heavy previously).
