Oh, I totally understand the dilemma, but honestly, if you're trying to conceive, most mums I know who've been through this say removing it was the right call, because polyps can genuinely interfere with implantation and some doctors feel quite strongly that it's better to have a clean uterine environment before trying again. The procedure itself is hysteroscopic (they go in without any cuts), usually done under sedation, and my neighbour said recovery was pretty manageable, just some mild cramping and tightness in the lower abdomen for about a week or so. Cost-wise, do check your insurance carefully as it can run into the thousands, so it's good to be prepared for that. On the accuracy of diagnosing via ultrasound alone, it's worth asking your gynae if a more detailed scan or a scope is needed to confirm before you decide. Definitely have a proper chat with your specialist about your specific situation, they'll be best placed to weigh the risks and timing for you!

Hi! I had an endometrial polyp before too and got it removed through a hysteroscopic polypectomy with Dr Wei-Wei Wee-Stekly, a Gynaecology doctor in Singapore. I was quite worried at first, but the procedure went well and I felt more at ease afterwards. Since you’re trying for your second child, maybe you can consider having it removed first, then discuss the next steps with your gynae and get their advice on trying to conceive after recovery. Of course, it depends on your situation, so best to talk through the pros and cons with your doctor first. Hope this helps! ❤️
