That was the first thing that they did was run a pregnancy test. All
three were negative. Plus when I found out in Jan 06 that I still
ovulated on the pill, I took measures to use a back up form of birth
control. Since I posted, I have seen a few doctors. They have all
suggested another lap. My pcp has agreed with that assessment. I see
my obgyn on Friday to discuss it. Thanks.
