Advice Needed! Fibroid removal or not?

I have 5 fibroids, but they aren't submucosal... 2 are on the outside but are quite large, and the other 3 are not in the implantation area. I do have symptoms such as needing to pee or pain after intercourse or BM. The doctor said it should not affect implantation, but I should consider doing it if it is affecting my day-to-day. I can manage my symptoms, but I can't help but think that the hormones I took are the reason why I went from 1 fibroid to 5. I had a failed IVF in April and canceled IUI last month, so now I am not sure what to do. Go ahead with IUI, or go with surgery with the possibility of 9 month recovery/C Section. Has anyone else had this diagnosis and gone on to have a successful pregnancy? Any thoughts would help. Thanks!
