Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your query, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.

1.First of all do not panic.
2.With history of endometrial ablation with Novasure, chances of pregnancyare very rare.As this procedure ablates the endometrial lining completely, possibility o fpregnancy is very low.
3. For baby movements to be felt, it comes to 18 to 22 weeks of pregnancy.
In that case uterus will have grown just below the belly button.
if this is not the case, please get morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy. In case of doubt, blood beta HCG test and USG will be of help.

I hope this answer was helpful to you!
Thank you and best regards!
