Laparoscopy hysteroscopy

Has anyone had a laparoscopy and/or hysteroscopy?

My OBGYN ruled out my husband as the reason we have not been able to concieve.  All of my bloodwork came back normal.  I ovulated as I should have on three rounds of Clomid (although I'm certain that I ovulate regularly without the Clomid, it was just something my OBGYN wanted to try).  The last test my OBGYN ran was a HSG test, which was inconclusive.  They couldn't get the dye to flow like it should have because my cervix is apparently very high.  After that test, the OBGYN referred me to an RE. 

He immediately called for a laparoscopy and hysterocopy.  He wants to make sure that I don't have any scar tissue from my C-section and that my tubes aren't blocked.  If there is tissue or blockage, he will fix it during the surgery.

I am really nervous about this.  Has anyone had one and could share their experience?  Thanks!

Whoops.  I did not mean to use this account, it's pretty old!  I've only posted once, but it was on an updated account.  Sorry about that.

I had this when ttc#1. I responded to clomid, but was unsuccessful. My tubes were clear in the HSG, but my OB had seen some uterine polyps in the monitoring u/s for the clomid. He also suspected that I had endo (pain, mid cycle spotting) so he wanted to do a LAP at the same time as the HSC. He removed the polyps and found "a touch of" endo which he removed.

I won't lie, the recovery from the surgery was awful, but I'm really bad with anesthesia. My surgery was in the morning, DH planned to take off a half day, but it took so long for me to come out of recovery that it was late in the afternoon before I was discharged and we went home.

In the end it was worth it though, I got pregnant the 2nd cycle post surgery w/o meds. Technically it was our first try though since I had to abstain until 6wks post surgery.  I would do it over again.

GL!

I think everyone's experience is probably different. I have had two to remove fibroids and it really wasn't bad. I hate going under anesthesia but in he end it was no big deal. The worst part was not eating or drinking after midnight the night before!! The recover was also fine, I was a little crampy that night and worked from home the next day just in case I was tired the next day but pretty much fine! I bet you'll do great!! I worried more about it and it wasn't that bad!

Hi. I was diagnosed with Ashermans (intra uterine scars). I had an attempted hysterscopy in office (while awake) but my cervix had stynosis so we could not go in to take a look. I just had my operative hysterscopy on Friday. It was NOT a lap though. My RE went in through my cervix and up, is there a reason why they are going right to lap for you? The recovery is not bad at all. I was scared of anesthesia but I woke up and didn't experience any pain and just had a little bit of blood in my urine.

Thanks for all of the input!

They are going with the Lap because my cervix isn't in a good place. That's why my HSG test was inconclusive, they couldn't get the dye to go in correctly.
