I wouldn't bother TTA until it's the cycle of your surgery. We had a similar situation when I had my myomectomy. I knew I would ovulate ~4/14 and start another cycle ~4/27 before my surgery (5/8). I figured it was my "Hail Mary" cycle... If I had gotten KU, I would have cancelled the surgery. Obviously that didn't happen. We did avoid the week of my surgery (mine was on CD12, and I typically ovulate b/n 12-14), and 3 weeks after.
It's a personal choice, unless of course your Dr has an opinion.
They did do a pregnancy test the week before my surgery to make sure I wasn't pregnant (as if the bleeding earlier in the week wasn't a sign!)
This is the mindset I have, but then all these stupid what ifs pop into my head. I think i'm just getting nervous because I still have a full month ahead of me.
Trust me- I understand! I weighed the pros and cons... My fibroids "could" have caused a miscarriage and "could" grow larger during pregnancy.., but I decided it was worth the risk if somehow I miraculously got knocked up (let's face it, at the time I was on cycle like 27 off of birth control.., odds were not in my favor). Good luck with your decision.
MrsRC-33, MrRC-37. TTC#1 since 2/13. DX: T2 diet controlled diabetic, removed multiple fibroids blocking tubes, via robotic myomectomy, hysteroscopy and D&C on 5/15. CD3 b/w normal. HSG normal after surgery. On the bench April-June 2015. NTNP indefinitely. Loss mentioned.
When I went in for my IUI on Thursday, the nurse explained that I might spot that day. Anyway, I did but I've been spotting (brown, not red...sorry for the TMI) off and on since then. Is that typical?

I'm not sure. I didn't have any spotting with mine but the nurse did tell me that I may or may not spot (she didn't say for how long). I would call and ask to be sure. Sorry I'm not much help!
TTC #1 since August 2013 DX: Endo November 2014: Hysteroscopy, D&C June - September 2015: Clomid + Novarel + IUI #1-3 January 2017: Laparoscopy - endo removed

Are you on progesterone? That can definitely cause spotting. FWIW, I spotted for about 3 days after IUI.
MrsRC88cateyesmustloveerica @lovedgrilledcheese -Thank you very much for all the advice. I think we will continue TTCing until the cycle the lap falls.
