Apart from the size, the location of the fibroid is important. If your fibroid is not touching the cavity of your uterus; it is unlikely to cause you problem during pregnancy. Having said that, any fibroid of size more than 3cm may affect your chance of fertility since a big fibroid can alter the blood flow to the uterus.

Health Tips
If you do not conceive in a couple of months; and if your doctor feels that fibroid is causing a problem, you may need to have the fibroid removed. Be in touch with your doctor since if you need a fibroid removal; you may not be able to plan for pregnancy for a couple of months after surgery.
