I had an ultrasound that showed an enlarged uterus with a large subserosal fibroid measuring 148.8 cm in the right lateral wall and areas of early degeneration, plus another subserosal fibroid in the anterior wall measuring 1.72.2 cm. My ET is 8mm. One doctor recommended surgery, but two others suggested trying to conceive first. I don't have children yet and I'm really confused about what to do should I prioritize surgery or try to get pregnant with these fibroids?
