Hi,
If you need an arthroscopy following your investigations, then this may coincide with early pregnancy. Having an anesthetic in early pregnancy would be inadvisable as there is a possibility of drug effects on the fetus.
I would suggest waiting until you have completed the management of your hip before embarking on pregnancy.
