Natasha,
I'm sorry to hear your news but I think in the long-run, you'll be thankful you waited to have the surgery. As Summerbaby indicated, the fibroids/cysts can affect your pregnancy. I had two fibroids identified during a HSG scan and the doctors suggested I have them removed. One was embedded in my uterine wall and that was causing the most concern. When the doctors went to remove the fibroids during surgery, they couldn't locate them so I basically had a D&C instead.
Of course, my RE could see the masses on the ultrasound after my surgery but we decided to go ahead with IVF. About 9 weeks into my pregnancy, I had major abdominal bleeding and cramping. When the RE performend an ultrasound, he found that my placenta had attached to a fibroid instead of my uterus. Because the fibroid couldn't support the placenta, my placenta tore away and caused a subchorionic hematoma. My pregnancy was given a 50% chance. Thankfully, by week 20, the hematoma had been absorbed by my body and everything was on track again. However, it was a scary process. In the long-run, I think you'll be happier if you have the surgery to make sure everything is ready to go.
Good luck!!!
