I've just had a lap & dye test and after googling ( I know I should never google ANYTHING! ) but....I've read alot of people have fallen pregnant soon after lap & dye test....

What's one of those?

cheekycurls · 13/08/2011 12:28

it's where they put dye through the tubes to see if there is all blockages like flushing the tubes out

Me!!! we were TTC for 11 months...had a lap and dye and fell PG 2 weeks later! DD now 9 months and im PG with no2 now.

Good luck

cheekycurls · 13/08/2011 13:41

oh wow Queen! congrats! :)
really hoping this will be the case with me as nothing wrong was found!!

Its difficult to know whether it was the lap and dye or the fact that i was due on about a day after the lap. I was told i would bleed after the lap, so when i did, i assumed it was as a result from the op. I therefore couldnt calculate when i ovulated so said to DH we should not bother trying that month.
we had been so stressed from ttc and that month we just enjoyed shagging!! No pressure to ttc.So possibly that we were more relaxed as well.
Consultant told me its very common for women to get PG after a lap as they think it "clears the tubes".

cheekycurls · 13/08/2011 15:08

yeah they said that to me to hence the mad googling!

I'm still a bit sore from it but due to ov (got a strong pos ov test this morning) bleeding stopped after 1st day so need to get me some swimmers! lol

I do love hearing the success stories! hope ur pregnancy is going well

Ive also got a friend from nct that was ttc for years...about 10 years i think. She had a lap and got pg too. not sure how quickly it happened but much quicker than the 10 years before the lap if that makes sense!!!
Be careful of your stitches from the lap...mine got infected as they didnt dissolve and was very painful!

cheekycurls · 13/08/2011 15:40

oh blimey that's amazing! we having been trying for 2 half years with no luck fingers crossed it will happen soon now i have shiny clean tubes! lol
I didn't have stitches, i had glue not sure why, maybe different hospitals do different things
hoping when i go back in 2 weeks for my follow up I'll be preggers :)

QueenCee · 13/08/2011 17:06

Good luck...fingers crossed for you.
We were TTC for 11 months and I found it so stressful and put us under a huge amount of pressure. 2/5 years must be horrendous...you definately deserve a break and for this to be your time.

cheekycurls · 13/08/2011 22:09

yes it is but I'm still hopeful (or delusional! lol) every month and very grateful for my DD
I'm trying my hardest not to be stressed and calm but It's very hard!
definately deserve a break

JazzAnnNonMouse · 14/08/2011 12:30

good luck :)

I had the "dye" part of the lap and dye (HSG) and fell pregnant on the second cycle after. I believe in the "tube jet wash" theory giving you a fertility boost, but should point out that my test was to check that surgery for Ashermans Syndrome 6 weeks earlier had worked - so it is hard to say if it was the surgery or the jet wash that really was responsible in my case.

good luck!

cheekycurls · 14/08/2011 21:34

loving "tube jet wash" !!

OP posts:

Namechangeoshame · 14/08/2011 21:39

Is this the Hycosyg test? If so, yes, having been trying for 18 months beforehand I then got pg immediately afterwards, and twice more in my next 7 cycles.

Consultant said that it was a well known thing, and although it's not guaranteed of course, don't let your DH go away during the next month.

cheekycurls · 14/08/2011 22:03

it was a hysteroscopy, laparoscopy & dye test.....
I'm not letting DP leave the bedroom much!

cheekycurls · 22/08/2011 08:09

one more week till AF so will soon find out if the tube jet wash worked

OP posts:

QueenCee · 22/08/2011 09:35

Keep us updated.... Fingers crossed you get you BFP

cheekycurls · 22/08/2011 09:54

will do! I have loads of imaginary symptoms but only real one is sore boobs, I'm not as confident as I was last week!

OP posts:

QueenCee · 26/08/2011 14:24

Any update cheekycurls?

Pinkiemum · 26/08/2011 14:32

I was pregnant two weeks after having mine, my daughter is now 3.5 yrs old

cheekycurls · 27/08/2011 17:28

no AF yet, due tomorrow but I think it's on its way :( all my imaginary symptoms have disappeared apart from sore boobs so don't think i'll be getting a BFP this month :(

well AF due today, had some brown stuff when I wiped earlier (TMI)!!! but seems to have been only that time but fully expecting AF to be in full swing tomorrow :(

OP posts:

QueenCee · 28/08/2011 21:22

That sounds promising I think. You were due today and haven't come on. I had brown when I wiped for 4 days with this pg at the time of my AF. Convinced I was coming on... I'm now 15 weeks with dc2. Fingers crossed still!

MissRee · 28/08/2011 21:28

I was told for 10 years that I would never conceive without fertility treatment - I had two lap & dyes at the end of 2010 under a different consultant with the second one including adhesion removal and ovarian drilling. I'm now 22 weeks pg
