Hi Sandy,

I had a polyp in my uterus. It was being done when I was having a Laparoscopy done to rule in or rule out Endometriosis (I have Endometriosis). From what I have learned, it seems to be common practice to do all three procedures when they are diagnosing Endo. I'm not saying that is your problem....you haven't given reason for me to think that, just explaining my situation.
