Just the presence of fibroids do not warrant removal. Submucosal fibroid will need removal, as it can interfere with baby attaching to uterus.Can be removed hysteroscopically.You already have risk factors - Age >40 yrs, Overweight & Multiple fibroids .Long gap since last pregnancyBest would be removal of fibroids , if not pregnant within 3-4 mths , plan for IVFAll the best
