Hi all-
I had a hycosy over a month ago and they discovered a small polyp, about 5.5mm, in my uterus. During the scan, the doctor said that the polyp wasn't anything to worry about, but today when I saw an FS she wanted to schedule me for surgery to have it removed. I'm hesitant to have the surgery because that would mean not being able to try this cycle, and we already know that we're going to have to miss the next cycle because business trips mean that we won't be together when I'm O'ing.
We are also moving to England in December, which means having to start looking for doctors all over again, and perhaps being on a long waiting list in order to have surgery scheduled.
I suppose I'm uncertain right now what I should be doing. DH and I only started seeing a FS 3 months ago. We've been through 2 cycles with the CBFM and I fell pregnant on the 2nd cycle, but unfortunately miscarried. I know that after the hycosy you're supposed to have better chances of getting pregnant for the next 2 cycles at least, and that after a miscarriage you also have higher fertility. All of this makes me hesitant to waste the next cycle because of surgery, especially when I'm not so sure how necessary the surgery is. Unfortunately, our original FS isn't here right now, so today we saw someone standing in for him, and I don't think she was as experienced as our original FS.
I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation - either having had a polyp removed, or possibly having had a pregnancy with a polyp. From everything I've read, it's unlikely the polyp contributed to my miscarriage, but then again - who knows, right?
DH is going with whatever my decision is, so I'm feeling it all weighing down on me right now. I guess I'm now wondering if our infertility is as bad as we originally thought. We've been trying for 17 cycles now, but it's only in the past 3 cycles that I started temping and finding out exactly when I O'd. If I think in those terms, then getting a BFP within 3 months doesn't seem that bad. I just don't know if that bodes well for the future or if it was just some lucky fluke. Then of course, if the polyp was the reason I miscarried, then not removing it means that even if we conceive this cycle, I may not be able to carry it to term.
Sorry for the long post - I feel like I've been talking around in circles. Any advice would be very welcome. Thanks in advance.
