Just an update in case anyone is in the same position and wondering...
I didn't need the second op - in fact, I had probably conceived around the same time as I originally posted, so it was definitely a case of easier and faster the second time round.
I'm glad I held off on the operation, that's for sure.
Brendan took a little over 18 months, I then fell pregnant when he was about 5 months (by accident) After having a m/c we waited by choice, Tristan was conceived on my 3rd cycle after coming off the pill... we'd planned for 5-6 months for my cycle to get back to "normal" LOL....
