Hi Cuddlepie

Mine were not big. In fact, on ultrasound they had difficulty even seeing one of them and asked me why I thought there were two (my FS saw then during hysteroscopy). The other one had been seen on ultrasound about a year before but they had previously told me that because it wasn't distorting the cavity they didn't think it would cause a problem. It wasn't until 4 failed IVF cycles with good embryos that I had a laproscopy and a hysteroscopy that was when my FS saw them. FS told me they reduce your chances of getting pregnant by about half even with no cavity distortion.

The bleeding was really just annoying. It wasn't proper bleeding, very light and, TMI - almost watery. I think it was just healing. We weren't allowed to try for 2 months afterwards which I was initially frustrated with but it was actually sort of nice to have a forced break. It was a relief not to have the pressure of "trying".

I have another fibroid which is quite big but on the outside of my uterus and they haven't removed that because the general consensus is that the ones on the outside don't cause issues.
