Does anyone know about pregnancy with polyps? I dont have any problems with my cycle every month but I had an ultrasound 2years ago whcih was fine but a year later it came back with a hemmoraghic cyst on left ovary with endometrial polyp. And I am like whataat? All this within a year? I was put on bcp for 5 months but still the same. Also have mild endometriosis but I really dont have problems. Done one laproscopy. But does anyone know if the chances of kids is impossible ?? Thanks.,

I'm sorry that we missed your question and I hope that by now, you've gotten your answer from your doc????
From what I understand in literature I've read on the net, a uterine polyp *may* cause infertility problems. They will often go in and remove the polyp just to ensure that it doesn't interfere with a pregnancy....although, it hasn't been proven one way or the other whether it does truly affect fertility if the polyp is small. Larger ones seemingly can interfere.
I had my sonohysterogram done and as Kszan has said...it was nothing! I really didn't feel a thing. Maybe, I just had a great doctor who was really skilled at it but, I'd not have any reservations about doing it again if I had to have it done again...other than time off of work to get it done.
They did find 2 larger polyps that my gyn wants to remove. She said that she'd also like to do an ablation at the same time to ensure they won't grow back again, which I've agreed to have done. I'm waiting for a surgery date but, as of now, she figures it won't be until March or even April as she is backed up on surgeries and I'm not considered a "rush" or "urgent" case.
Anyone still reading this that can tell me about the ablation portion of this surgery?
There are several types of ablation surgery availalbe. I had NovaSure done...which is actually like microwaving your uterus and lining. I had it done due to excessive heavy periods which were uncontrollable. For me, it didnt work.
I was alseep when they did my ablation- so I dont remember much, but its basically a wand which has radioactive heat, which basically sears your insides, thus making scar tissue everywhere...I woke up fine. Alot of discharge for almost 2 weeks. No sex or hot baths for 6 weeks, but no problems aftewards- except I bled like crazy and continued to do so. They say you might bleed heavily for up to a month; but it should subside..almost 2 years later, Im facing a hysterectomy. In case they didnt tell you, its very dangerous to get pregnant after ablation, so be sure you know all of that.
Another thing that they dont tell you about any ablation, is if you ever need to have any biopsies done- its basically impossible. Ive now had 6 biospies done of what they now believe is a fibroid, but for a year- scared me saying they didnt know what it was...each biopsy showed insufficient tissue,due to the amount of scar tissue.....so, now Im still not sure what is growing inside me, and am electing to have the hysterectomy just to be sure! Talk to your doctor about all of this and make sure its what you want to do...to be honest, I would never recommend anyone having any type of ablation- there are so many things I wasnt told before hand, and I know so many people who had it done and wish they hadnt.
good luck to you....

MSNick...wow, you've been through a lot! I guess that I would also opt for the hysterectomy and be over and done with it all rather than going on and on and on with things and worrying. I'm sure that it's likely a fibroid and everything is fine but, as you've said, being "sure" is peace of mind. At the least, you'll be done with the bleeding for good!
For me, it's not heavy bleeding that's the problem as I'm spotting on and off. I have 2 polyps (as likey the cause of that spotting) that she said needs to be removed and while she's in there, she said that she wanted to do the ablation so that the polyps don't grow back again. So, it's more of a preventative measure than to stop heavy bleeding.
You've brought up an excellent point though! If they destroy the uterine lining, how do they get samples of the lining after that??? That's a question that I need to ask!! Thank you for bringing that up!
As for getting pregnant.....LOL....I'm 53 years old so that "vessel" is closed for business for good now LOL! :
So, I shouldn't panic over the surgery then? It's not that bad? I'm not sure which method she will be using but, she said that she will NOT be using the balloon as it's "blind". I don't know what other kinds there are. If you know, please share with me.
?? Thanks.,
