Fibroids and Fertility: What You Need to Know

Fibroids, non-cancerous growths in or on the uterus, can sometimes make it harder to get pregnant.

Those growing inside the uterus can block fallopian tubes, change blood flow, or make it hard for an embryo to implant.

However, fibroids on the outside of the uterus usually don't cause problems.

Doctors and research agree on these points.
