I'm sure part of it depends on your tolerance of the anesthesia, but as far as recovery goes, be prepared for mild cramps and maybe light bleeding for a couple of days. You'll probably be put on pelvic rest afterward until your follow up - no tampons and no sex. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experiences-with-hysteroscopy-and-polypectomy#post-2060153 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 01:46:59 +0000 Crystal 2060153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: thank you! ❤️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experiences-with-hysteroscopy-and-polypectomy#post-2060135 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 00:50:30 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2060135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience but thinking of you and *hoping this is the key to your sticky pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experiences-with-hysteroscopy-and-polypectomy#post-2060129 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 00:27:22 +0000 Crystal 2060129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: thank you! By having my GYN cover the surgery, it moves us so much father ahead in our timeline, and he said he'd start me on clomid ASAP. I am feeling the kindling of hopefulness for the first time in a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experiences-with-hysteroscopy-and-polypectomy#post-2060113 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 23:48:48 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2060113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: I hope this does the trick for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experiences-with-hysteroscopy-and-polypectomy#post-2060099 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 23:24:36 +0000 Crystal 2060099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: glad to hear it wasnt a bad recovery! And I'll make sure DH packs snacks. :silly: </p> <p>@travellingbee: thanks for sharing your experience! Good to know its only mild cramping. You had an HSG, right? Was the pain similar?</p> <p>@thisisme: I really hope I am closer to my take home baby! He/she sure is taking his/her sweet time to get here! Were you allowed to use tampons for the bleeding or only pads?</p> <p>@magnolia: thank you for sharing! I hope I am lucky enough to get KU right after! Did it make your period late? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experiences-with-hysteroscopy-and-polypectomy#post-2059491 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 11:06:08 +0000 magnolia 2059491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: I had this done in 2013 after 2 m/c. dr thought I had a polyp on the saline ultrasound but turns out I also had a uterine septum, which they couldn't see on the ultrasound.<br /> It was a fair easy recovery, I was in bed for a day or two and had been advised no sex etc until my next period which came about 4-5 weeks later. I had a follow up appointment at 6 weeks and was cleared for TTC. I got pregnant in March 2014 and now have a two month old<br /> good luck with your surgery!! I hope you have a positive result :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experiences-with-hysteroscopy-and-polypectomy#post-2059478 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 10:53:22 +0000 thisisme 2059478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this done last year before beginning our IVF cycle. I think I had a couple of medium sized polyps. My doctor said they're fairly common but often aren't noticed unless you're doing tests like an HSG or ultrasound for other infertility reasons. I was under general anesthesia for the procedure. I think it was pretty quick (30 min?), and I had a bit of cramping and bleeding afterwards. I didn't need anything stronger than motrin or advil, and I was back at work the next day feeling fine. I think I bled very lightly for about a week. </p> <p>It was a really easy procedure. The hardest part was needing the anesthesia. I couldn't eat or drink beforehand, so I felt weak, and it made me nauseous afterwards. When I had to have anesthesia again for egg retrieval, they put the anti-nausea meds in my IV, and it was much better!</p> <p>Oh, and a heating pad on my belly felt great that night! Good luck! You're getting one step closer to a take home baby!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experiences-with-hysteroscopy-and-polypectomy#post-2059366 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 08:45:22 +0000 travellingbee 2059366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I Was supposed to have this done, but when they went in during the hysteroscopy, they found that there wasn't actually a polyp. It was incredibly easy and painless, but of course nothing was removed. But I hear one polyp is generally quite easy especially if it's small.<br /> They filled my uterus with saline to expand it, and put a little scope in to look around. None of that hurt, but I did cramp a little afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experiences-with-hysteroscopy-and-polypectomy#post-2059337 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 08:03:41 +0000 babycanuck 2059337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: I had this done to remove my uterine septum, and they did a D&amp;C as well (I didn't know they were going to do that).</p> <p>I found recovery to be really easy...2 days in bed and back to normal, minimal bleeding and no pain at all. I hope that helps :) I will say I woke up STARVING since you have to fast from the night before haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experiences-with-hysteroscopy-and-polypectomy#post-2059279 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 02:36:27 +0000 Crystal 2059279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if I've listed this on the correct board, so feel free to move it!</p> <p>I'm going in for a hysteroscopy to remove a polyp found during my hsg. Can anyone tell me what their experience was with the procedure? How was recovery? Any tips?</p> <p>I've been looking a bit online, and my doctor won't do a prep meeting until the day before the procedure, so any help is appreciated! </p>
