Hi and welcome to BellyBelly! With the lap, they will make the three incisions in your abdomen (usually in your navel, on your bikini line and one to the side) and they will bloat your stomach with gas so that they can see all your organs clearly etc. Then he will remove any adhesions or cysts if there are any and send samples off to pathology to check if it is endo or something else etc (I am assuming you have endo?). The hysteroscopy is usually done with a D&C as well and is where your cervix is dialted and a camera inserted to see what there is in your uterus. Anything they find will be removed and samples sent to pathology. You will also have the lining of your uterus scraped away in a curettage (the 'C' in D&C). Afterwards you will have some bleeding (like a normal AF really) and cramping. You will also be pretty sore around your abdomen from the incisions and also just from the surgery itself. You may also have some bloating and shoulder tip pain. Shoulder tip pain is when the gas they use can get trapped, causing pain in the shoulder area. This will be uncomfortable but will go in a day or two. Arrange to have a few days off work as you will need to do as little as possible and just rest. Bending over can hurt a bit, so try to avoid that if you can. If all goes well you should be fully back to normal by about 2wks (allowing for the soreness and bloating to go away.

As for increased chances of getting pg, well that's hard to say. For some women it makes all the difference, but for others it may still take awhile depending on what was found during the lap. If you have extensive scarring of the tubes or ovaries it may hinder getting pg. It is something you can't say for sure either way until afterwards when you know what is going on in there.
