Fluid in uterus, ttc previous cesareans

Has anyone else got any experience with infertility caused by a c section scar defect and fluid in uterus?
I currently been ttc for 3+ years since 2 previous c sections and few miscarriages since. I was rejected for ivf based if the finding of a niche and fluid accumulation. Theu said the won't put the embryo in with the fluid there.
I am awaiting surgery to repair the niche, remove adhesion and any endometriosis.
I have had an MRI scan which confirmed the defect but was only small and was no fluid at that time but I have been advised to try ivf before surgery due to potential more infertility problems after surgery and such a long waiting list times with nhs.
So I have spoken to ivf clinic they have agreed to go ahead but have said that when it comes to egg transfer day if there is fluid it will be a freeze all until fluid is gone or I have the surgery. So worried about this i just want the fluid to go.
Every transvaginal scan I have had has shown a small amount of free fluid in cavity.
Any advice on how to get this out naturally before egg transfer.
Or any advice would be great.

I think 3 is best case and some surgeons say 6! Feels like a long time. I had it done in London via robotic laparoscopic repair. There’s a useful fb group if you want to join.

Thank you. I have joined the group and had some advice. I am going to have an appointment in London i believe. I just need to start organising it and getting costs. It seems they vary so much from city to city!

I think generally costs will be £8k+ in London, not sure about elsewhere.

Weirdly london seems to be 6 to 8k but bristol is 11k! The spire hospital is really expensive !
