How can i increase my chances of getting pregnant? we have been trying for over a year and a half with no luck. i have a couple of fibroids.

Seek consultation : If unable to conceive after one year (6 months if older than 35 years), recommend seek consultation with gyn or infertility specialist. Basic evaluation usually includes semen analysis, assessment of tubal patency and ovulatory status. Significance of fibroids are based on size and location. Treatment options and prognosis for conceiving depends on results of evaluation.

Fibroids: Having fibroids can definitely affect fertility with lowering chances of conceiving and raising chances of miscarriage. They can be removed laparoscopically almost always, offering a fast recovery.

Treat your fibroids: The gold standard for treatment, if you want to get pregnant, is still myomectomy. There have been numerous cases of pregnancy after fibroid embolization, but no controlled studies. Either way, your fibroids are likely decreasing your chances of conception/implantation.
