Hi dear and thanks for your query.

I have gone through your query and I will try to help you.
Submucosal fibroid need to be removed because they may have negative effects on your future pregnancy ,they increase risk for miscarriage because these fibroids that change the shape of the uterine cavity (submucous) or are within the cavity (intracavitary).

Removal of these fibroids increases fertility by 70%.

Other types of fibroids, those that are within the wall (intramural) but do not change the shape of the cavity, or those that bulge outside the wall (subserosal) do not decrease fertility, and removal of these types of fibroids does not increase fertility.

Hence go for hystreoscopic myomectomy and than try to conceive.

All the best
