Anyone had a laparoscopy & hysteroscopy?

Thank you so much Krikkit & Lioness for your fast and helpful replies.

He told me I was having mine to make sure the tubes werent blocked so from your replies, it sounds like standard procedure & a good starting point to find a reason for unexplained infertility. I am sort of hoping there is some kind of blockage so they can just clear it away and it'll fix all my TTC problems!

Is the ultrasound the HSG or something different? I havent had an ultrasound. I've got the referral for CD 21 bloods. I am CD5 today so will have to wait a few weeks for those.

I am so scared but also excited that I am finally doing something proactive to sort this all out.

RandJ, HSG is the ultrasound of the uterus, tubes and ovaries. They flush a dye through to see if your tubes are open. I had it done at an ultrasound place and took approx 15 minutes. Wasn't too bad, just a bit crampy when they placed a small catheter through the cervix to insert the saline and dye into the uterine cavity. DH was with me and appreciated what us women go through. For me the ultrasound was done after the bloods came back.

Doing something proactive is great, as you feel you are getting somewhere rather than months of disappointment and not knowing why
