Left ovray - 19mm
ET - 12.9 mm
Day 14
Right Ovary - 15mm x 15 mm
Left ovray - 22mm x 21 mm

Small echogenic focus 10 x 4 mm in size is seen in the endometrial echose, could be sloapolyp.
Consulting radiologist has me to visit again for TVS on day 18 or 19 to see if the follicles have ruptured.
Also she asked me to repeat Tran vaginal scan in my next cycle after me menses get over.
My gynae has advsied me to go for HSG test in my next cyle.
Please advise if uterine polyp can hamper conception. Also need to know if i have to go for Trans vaginal scan or HSG to diagnose the polyps in the uterine.
What is the next line of treatment for the same.

Brief Answer:
Hysteroscopy for polyp
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Your parameters are normal and you are in perfect health. No need to worry.
Your follicles are also growing well. Not to worry. Endometrium thickness is good.
Polyp needs to be evaluated by a procedure called hysteroscopy to see in side the uterine cavity and remove any polyps present by hysteroscopy.
HSG cannot diagnose polyps well and it is good to diagnose fallopian tube patency and contour of uterus.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Polyps do hamper implantation of embryo into uterus. Hence need to be diagnosed and removed by hysteroscopy.
Hysteroscopy is a procedure in which a scope is passed through cervix into uterus to visualise uterine cavity and check for polyp or fibroid.
This is done under anesthesia as it is painful.
There are no side effects.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hysteroscopy

Hi
Hysteroscopy is diagnostic as well as operative. It is most confirmatory way of diagnosing polyp and treat on the spot.
Scan is not confirmatory. Hysteroscopy is best method.
Ovulation occurs approximately in middle of cycle. It is advisable that you have intercourse daily in the middle of cycle.
