Brief Answer: May not affect Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for the query. Usually 9×6 mm fibroid to be considered as smaller one only. That may not affect the pregnancy. In case of intramural or submucosal fibroid the risk of miscarriage is somewhat more. Better to be cautious regarding the possible growth of the fibroid during pregnancy. So better to undergo regular antenatal checkups and ultrasound examinations to track the condition of fibroid. Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer followup queries. If you are satisfied with the response, please give your review at the end of the discussion. Take care.

Brief Answer: Depends on position of implantation Detailed Answer: Hi, According to your description that could be a posterior sub mucosal fibroid. If implantation occurs at the site of the fibroid, that may lead to miscarriage sometimes. If implantation occurs at some other site, the pregnancy can continue. Better to undergo ultrasound after 5 completed weeks to get some idea regarding the position of implantation and management can be planned accordingly. Take care.
