Hi Bekkie,
I just read your post and am wondering if you have had an HSG test first, to see if your tubes are in fact blocked, before having the laproscopy. Once that test confirms if there is blockage or not, from my understanding, then they go forward with the laproscopsy, that's what happened in my case anyway. I live in California and maybe they do it differently here but it may be worth asking about. My test showed I had one blocked tube and then they went in and did the laproscopy. Also, I felt that I trusted the doctor who did my surgery, I think that is important. Do you know what they plan to do if they find any blockage? I asked so many questions and it was scary so I want you to make sure you are going in with all the information you can get. If you've already had the HSG test then I guess this is not pertainent for you but just in case I wanted to let you know what they did with me. Please let me know if there is any other info I can offer to you.
Best wishes,
Mazy

What have you all heard is the main REASON for IVF? I have severe endo but had surgery a few months ago to remove a lot of it. My tubes are NOT blocked and my uterus is in great shape. I just have endometriosis. So I'm wondering is IVF really necessary or if I could get pg naturally. i'm scheduled for my first IVF cycle in February 2007. :?
