First ovarian cysts, and now uterine polyps!

Hi everyone so a little history, I have being trying to conceive for a year, also have been having heavy and longer periods and some pain on my right side . I went to see doctor and was sent for ultrasounds, intra vaginal ultrasounds and also for a HSG test after HSG test I was sent for a hysteroscopy and then referred for surgery.

Finds from other tests :

Blood work at different times through cycle: all normal

1st ultrasound: hemorrhagic cyst

2nd ultrasound to check cyst: hemorrhagic cyst still there, hasn't grown, leave it to see if it changes. Also noticed a endometrial cyst.

HSG test: doctor says no sight of any cysts, however they see a polyp

Hysteroscopy: finds 3 polyps, too large to remove during hysteroscopy unfortunately. Referred to go for surgery to remove the polyps.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Has anyone gone for surgery to remove uterine polyps?

I am terrified, I have never ever had surgery before and being asleep for surgery while someone removes the polyps sound terrifying. Are you in a lot of pain afterwards? Does the removal of uterine polyps help with pregnancy chances? Could this be why I am not conceiving ?

Of course I am also worried but trying not to think about the possibility that the polyps could be cancerous. .the doctor hasn't mentioned that.

Also why would they have seen cysts on my ultrasounds but not when I went for further testing but find polyps instead?

I'm so frustrated. I went to my doctor originally because of my heavy periods, trouble getting pregnant and also some abnormal darker hair growth on my chin, chest and around my nipples. Now I feel like the hair part and getting pregnant part are no longer a focus and I don't know if any of this is related or what to think really.

Any help is appreciated.
