Laparoscopy and improved fertility??

Hi there, about 3 weeks ago hubby and I started our first IVF cycle, all seemed fine and the Dr did the the necessary blood tests. However when I went for my third scan prior to egg retrial, the doctor told me I did not have enough follicles and we had to stop the IVF cycle. He advised that I should have a laparoscopy done in case I might have a case of mild endometriosis. So tomorrow I am going in for my lap, what are the chances of falling pregnant after the laparoscopy? I hope it improves our chances and maybe we will fall pregnant naturally :-)

I'm sorry to jump in - I have only had one lap and my GP just told me yesterday that a second one would not be suggested as every time one is performed it can cause further scarring - and hence making fertility worse? I'm just so lost and confused right now x

This is based in my research and it seems to have worked for me. Since I had m lap in Feb I started taking serrapeptase to limit the scar tissue and clear my blocked tubes. Iv managed to fall pregnant 3 times sadly iv lost two and I'm now 7 weeks pregnant furthest iv got since we've been trying for second time (we have a daughter who's 4) my advice is, any surgery if you don't have any blood problems or, are taking any thing to thin the blood take serrapeptase after your surgery and it will help you heal quicker and keep scar tissue at bay. Ppl have also gotten rid of cysts and endo with it do your own research and yes in my experience having a lap treating endo and taking serrapeptase has improved my fertility. Good luck on your journey 💗🤗😘
