How Long After Laparotomy Is Getting Pregnant Again Safe?

Hi, may I answer your health queries rHoping someone can shed some light on my situation. I had a miscarriage 3 months ago, at the same time they discovered a very large ovarian cyst.

I have just had the cyst removed (6 days ago), it was too big for keyhole, so I had open surgery (laparotomy). Accordng to the surgeon it was fairly major surgery.

I am anxious to know when it is safe for me to start trying again for baby. I've been told 6-8 weeks, and also as long as 6 months. Hope someone can help.ight now ? Please type your query here...

Hi, I think 3 months is enough for recovery. You can try after 3 months of surgery. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. It will increase chances of your pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question.
