Members shared hopeful experiences about conceiving naturally after laparoscopy, with several emphasizing that the recovery period immediately following surgery is often the best window to try since tubes are freshly flushed and scar tissue is cleared. Many community members described practical strategies that worked for them, including using inexpensive ovulation test strips to track fertile days, having frequent intercourse during ovulation week, and lying down for 15 to 30 minutes afterward to help conception. A recurring theme was managing the emotional roller coaster of hope and fear, with members encouraging each other to stay positive while acknowledging that every woman's endo journey is unique and what works for one may not work for another.

I'm currently on Lupron shots (once monthly for six months, go for the third shot next week). My doctor told me I wouldn't be able to get pregnant without the shots. And there is a possibility if and when I do get pregnant again that I would have to have some other shot during that pregnancy. I won't know for sure til that day comes. But right now I'm just focusing on what's going on in my life currently which is finishing college, raising my son and enjoying my life with my boyfriend and both our families .

From my experience Now is the best time to try if you're just shortly past your last lap. I'm hoping they flushed your tubes for you that helps a lot.

With both of my kids I bought OTC ovulation test strips. You don't have to buy the most expensive ones I helped me Figure out if and when I was ovulating. I did a lot of charting with my first There are some good apps out there for free for that

Then it's a matter of lots of sex the week you ovulate. Lay down for a while (15 to 30 mins if possible) after so everything stays put before you clean up. Also try to enjoy being together. Stressing about having sex (at the right time) can really be a buzz kill for both of you and you can start resenting each other for it. Good luck and God bless.
