Hi. I just ran into your post through a search for fibroid and pregnancy. I'm sorry to have read about your m/c. I too had a m/c. It happened last Saturday (10/4). Like you, I also saw my baby. I think that it was seeing it that broke me inside. I also have a fibroid. It is located at the bottom of my uterus and sits almost above my bladder. I haven't had this confirmed but in my heart I feel as if this was the reason for my m/c. At this moment my bleeding has been tapering off. My gyn said to let him know how it is by Monday. If I am still bleeding he wants to do a d&c and if it has stopped he wont do anything. My concern is my fibroid. I still want him to go in and remove it because I do not want to find myself in the same situation. I want to ttc as soon as I can. How have you progressed? Has your AF started on its own already? Did you have your fibroid removed? Thanks in advance for your time and information.

Gigi
