Is Pregnancy Possible After A Laparoscopic Operation?

Hi. I had an laproscopic operation in october to remove a septum wall dividing my uterus, blockages in my fallopian tubes, and 5 punctures were made in each ovary to release the old cysts (i have pcos). I was put on medication - first to heal, and then on oestrogen and progesterone supplements to artificially induce menses. For the first menses after operation, i had an extremely heavy flow. This time however, my menses waa very scanty, wherein it filled only 1 pad, was more brownish in colour with slight red, and lasted for 1 day. I was on medication this time as well. I am 32, trying to conceive, and we did have unprotected sex. Could i be pregnant?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible, since the bleeding was very light that you may have conceived.

This can be confirmed by a pregnancy test done 11 to 14 days after possible conception.
By this time HCG can be detected in the urine by regular pregnancy tests.

I hope this helps
