Conception after Laparoscopy success?

32 replies

Hi ladies.
I’m looking for some hope and encouragement about endometriosis mums who have conceived after laparoscopy.

I’m about to have my third laparoscopy. The first 2 were to alleiviate symptoms and this one is to hopefully increase fertility.
I’m ovulating each month as confirmed by bloods and home kits. My DH has had his swimmers tested and all is good there.
I’m 34 and been TTC for 2 years how. I have an 11 year old son from previous marriage and so does my DH.
My consultant has been brutal and said that I might get lucky and conceive after the laparoscopy but not to get my hopes up as is probably unlikely. I still want to explore all options and give it a try.
Has anyone fallen pregnant after a lap after failing to conceive? Or did it not work for you?
Any feedback or stories welcome!

Hello there, I had a laraproscopy in 2000 (when I was 30) for heavy endometriosis and conceived the first of my three lovely children the following year. It can definitely happen, so I hope the same thing happens for you.

I have endo -

Tried to conceive for over a year but no pregnancy. Had a laparoscopy in March and was pregnant by May. Could have been a coincidence but I believe that it was a contributory factor.

All the very best of luck.

I’m not much help I’m afraid but I feel your pain. I’ve just had a laparoscopy which confirmed endometriosis on my bowel and bladder. Waiting for a gynaecologist appointment to discuss possible treatment options. We’re TTC #1 and I’m 29.
Wishing you lots of luck.

I conceived 3 weeks after my laparoscopy but I didn't have endo, I had polyps, fibroids and cysts.
Fx for you! Good luck xx
