Can I have a laparoscopy if I have coil fitted?

Kerrie - married, 1 son, 2 step kids.TTC for 10+yr

I may need to have a laparoscopy done again within the next few months, I'm just waiting to be referred to a new gynaecologist so don't know for sure yet.

My problem is that for the next 6 months my husband is on medical treatment that means we cannot TTC so I was planning to have the Mirena coil fitted (I can't have depo jab, I forget the pill and we both hate using condoms).

My question is: Can you have a laparoscopy if you already have a coil fitted or would it need to be removed first?

Thanks
