Trying again after surgery

[Barney91]

Hi, I've just had a laparoscopy to remove a cyst on my ovary and dense grade 3 endometriosis which was on my womb, ovaries, bladder, bowel and ligaments. But the doctors didn't tell me how long I need to wait before trying for a baby again.

Has anyone had any experience of this surgery and how long they waited to start trying again?

They told me that after a few weeks I can go about my normal activities but I'm assuming I need to wait longer before trying again but no one actually told me that.

Thanks

Hi Barney. My thoughts would be to wait three months., then off you go. Hope all goes well for you. Good luck. Diane

hi I had an endo cyst removed via laparoscopy & went on to continue IVF 2/3 months after that.

I did not have endo lesions removed though so not sure if it will be longer after what you have had done. The usual is around 3 months after surgery .

Hope you are recovering well X

hi I agree at least 3 month - I had a lap then ICSI 2 months after but got only 1 morula at 5 days which was unsuccessful. Best wishes

I have endo stage 4 and had cyst removals on both ovaries. I was advised to wait 12 weeks to recover before starting ivf. Due to start next month, super anxious...
