Hello

If you fall pregnant before your laparoscopy, the surgery will be cancelled. Surgery wouldn't necessarily harm the baby but doctors only operate on pregnant ladies if it's absolutely necessary.

Most hospitals will perform a pregnancy test if there is any chance you could be pregnant.

Best wishes,

Hi thanks or the reply I know they would cancel op. But wanted to know if not treating endo first would cause problems in pregnancy x

in reply toMummyofone

No it wouldn't. Being pregnant will actually help Endo as you will not be having periods.

Ok doc made me feel longer I left it worse it would get. Didn't help everything the registrar said the consultant then said opposite :(
