I just found out I have a 8 x 7.2 cm uterus fibroid after my MRI and ultrasound. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? I'm really worried and would like to know my options.

Many women with uterine fibroids experience no signs or symptoms, or only mildly annoying signs and symptoms that they can live with. If that's the case for you, watchful waiting could be the best option. Fibroids aren't cancerous. They usually grow slowly ‚Äî or not at all ‚Äî and tend to shrink after menopause, when levels of reproductive hormones drop. Medications for uterine fibroids target hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle, treating symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure. They don't eliminate fibroids, but may shrink them. Consult gynecologist for further advice...

Question

I'm planning for pregnancy and sometimes I need to take montair Lc as my doctor recommended. I'm a bit worried though. Could this affect my pregnancy planning in any way?

I'm really worried because my ultrasound says I'm 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant, but based on my last menstrual period, I should actually be around 8 weeks. There's no foetal pole seen yet. Is there a chance my pregnancy might not continue? How long should I wait before knowing for sure?
