The initial test to assess for a fibroid is either a bimanual exam by an experienced practitioner or by transvaginal ultrasound.

The chance a fibroid turns into cancer is 0.1-0.2%.

Fibroids that are greater than 5-6 cm or any fibroid inside the uterine cavity can be a cause for infertility.

Fibroids are a genetic disposition and new fibroids can always start to grow even if old ones have been removed.

As long as you are releasing an egg with natural menstrual cycles, you have the chance to get pregnant naturally.

IVF can be done for women with high or low ovarian reserve. The risks and benefits of IVF for each situation should be discussed with your fertility specialist.

Unfortunately, we do not have a magic medicine to reverse diminished ovarian reserve … yet. So the best thing for a woman with diminished ovarian reserve is to try to conceive sooner rather than later.

The rate of egg loss varies person to person. You can look at your maternal mother or grandmother to have a better idea of when you will go into menopause.

Depending on how low the ovarian reserve is, regular IVF may still be an option or a mini-stim protocol may be used. This is determined on a case by case basis.
