Hi Krystal:
Actually, I think fibroids are not uncommon at your age. If they are
not causing you problems then they are usually left alone. Please
search both this and the women's forums for more info. Best wishes.

>>Krystal, were you told this by a doctor? Check the archives on this, but for the majority of women fibroids do not make it more difficult to become pregnant and do not carry a high risk of miscarriage. They can sometimes increase your risk for premature delivery if the fibroids grow during prenancy. I had several fibroids, including one very large one, and I had 2 full term babies that I easily conceived.My fibroids did not grow during those pregnancies. I hope this helps.
