Can I still get Pregnant?

• Fibroids can make it difficult to conceive, they
  are a known cause of infertility.
• Once fibroids are treated, there is an increased
  chance of having a baby.
• UFE has allowed many women who thought that there
  was no hope of having a baby to conceive.
• Some of these women were advised to have a
  hysterectomy (surgical removal of the womb), yet
  they opted for fibroid embolisation and went on
  to get pregnant and have normal healthy babies.

• The commonest cause for hysterectomy is uterine
  fibroid disease. A hysterectomy involves surgical
  removal of the uterus and is a permanent
  intervention that means letting go of the chance
  to have a baby naturally. Many of the patients
  that come to us still want the opportunity to
  have a child.

• Some have been actively trying and failing to get
  pregnant. When the UFE procedure was first
  proposed there was a lot of literature warning
  against the unknown impact of UFE on fertility.
  Evidence as to whether there would be any
  complications on a growing foetus hadnt been
  compiled yet.

• Since then many women have successfully had
  healthy children after. Medical interventions are
  advancing all the time and keeping up to date
  with research is important. We have treated many
  women who have safely had children when they were
  initially told it would not be possible and that
  their only option was to remove their uterus.

• If there is any doubt, we can arrange a
  consultation with one of our fertility
  specialists or obstetricians. We have a network
  of gynecologists available to give you expert
  advice.
