Can fibroid outside the uterus affect pregnancy?

Question

I have a fibroid on the outer side of my uterus, found it before planning. Now im trying to conceive and worried if it will cause problems. Anyone with similar experience? Just want to hear how it went for you.

From what my doctor told me, plenty of women carry to term with fibroids and have healthy babies. It just needs proper monitoring. I'd say go by your gynac's assessment rather than worrying from general info.

I totally understand how anxious this makes you feel, I had the same worry. Try not to panic, a good doctor watching over it makes such a difference. You and baby will be looked after.

I had a fibroid during my pregnancy and my gynac monitored it with scans the whole time. Many are outside and dont cause issues, but it really depends on size and location. Please let your doctor track yours, that's the safest.
