Trouble TTC

Laparoscopy WWYD? Loss mentioned

I started seeing a new RE around 10 weeks after my preterm delivery, and at that time I was still spotting. He ordered a round of Provera to 'clean everything out' but mainly to also get cd 2 bloodwork and a sonohystogram. Well, the sono showed something still in my uterus so I am going to have to have a hysteroscopy to look at it/remove it.

Question... He presented me the option of also doing a laparoscopy at the same time to look for endometriosis as a possible cause of infertility. This would be a belly button incision, so not just up through the vagina. He says he isn't necessarily concerned that I have it, but considering all that I have gone through it doesn't hurt to rule it out before moving on. Would you do both procedures??

  • I would do both. I had a lap done to remove cysts. the incisions were very small and recovery wasnt as painful as I expected. I also got to watch a video of it later, which was pretty neat. HTH

  • I had both done at the same time and was able to return to work a week later. I would do it! Will insurance cover it? I had cysts removed so most was covered.

  • I would totally do it. I had to have a surgery to open my cervix because scar tissue closed it due to a Leep procedure. They did the lap at the same time. I have a small incision in my belly button that you cant even see, and a 1/2" scar (tiny) by my h

  • I'm in the same boat. I'm having a hysteroscopy and laparoscopy next Tuesday.
