How soon after a laparoscopy can I TTC

I have been TTC for 2.5 years now. I am under a fertility consultant and have been told I don’t ovulate regularly, have slightly elevated prolactin (which may be messing with ovulation) and on the 18th March I had a laparoscopy to remove endometriosis and an endometrial nodule.

After the surgery, the surgeon told me I was about to ovulate, which rarely happens naturally for me. The general care advice from the nurses after surgery was that I could have intercourse as soon as I felt able to, but they didn’t specifically say about TTC.

I know I’ve missed this cycle’s ovulation, but part of me really wants to try on my next cycle, which should be around 4 weeks post op. The other part of me is convinced this is a terrible idea, in case I’m not healed inside enough and have another MC.

I don’t have an appointment with my fertility consultant until the end of next month, when I’d have missed two potential cycles. I’m just so desperate to have a baby and so sick of waiting! But is it too soon to try?

I have my laparoscopy next month, so I don't have any solid answers. However, if they were concerned about you getting pregnant, I don't think they would say you are free to have intercourse when you are ready. I would have said they would warn you not to if there was a problem. 🙂

That’s what I had sort of thought. I won’t take clomid this cycle and will wait to speak to my consultant before I start that again - hopefully won’t need it though 🤞
