Hey, I'm currently 12 weeks pregnant and just found out there's a 20mm fibroid on the posterior wall. I'm really worried about how this might affect my pregnancy. Is there any risk I should be aware of?

View allI'm a bit worried and looking for some advice. My last period was on March 20, and on April 24, I noticed some pink discharge or spotting just once when I wiped. I've taken a few pregnancy tests, but they're really faint. Even though I've had my tubes tied for 2 years, I've heard that you can still get pregnant with that. Could you help me understand what's going on?
While your chance of pregnancy is significantly lower with tubal ligation, it is still possible, though rare. The faint line on your test may suggest pregnancy, but its best to confirm with a follow-up test or a visit to your doctor. If you do find out youre pregnant, your doctor can guide you through the next steps to ensure everything is progressing normally.

my mom has had painful periods for 34 years and now doctors are recommending ovary removal surgery but I'm really scared about the operation - is this the only option or are there other treatments we can try first
Chronic painful periods may indicate endometriosis or fibroids; ovary removal is a last resort after trying hormonal and medical therapy options.
