Does uterine fibroids or myoma decreases once you get pregnant?

Anecdotally I've heard some people say that their fibroids decreased in size or went away during pregnancy...

My own experience is in keeping with general the medical prognosis that you see and hear in various places: that they increase in size during pregnancy because of increased estrogen (which grows fibroids) that is produced during pregnancy.
