Has anyone had a laparoscopy for endo?

Omg that is amazing news! Im so happy! Wow your friend got pregnant immediately after an op. Wow! xx
 
I had 2 laps by 2 different surgeons and I was pregnant 4 months after the second lap. I was trying for 2.5 yrs at that point and I now have a 1 year old.


 
Thank you dolly! Its incredible. Did they find anything after your laps? I feel so nervous but excited at the same time.
How quick is recovery? x

My 1st lap wasn't done well so endo was found but little removed and was only off a week. Second was done by an endo specialist and I was in theatre for 3hours was only meant to be 45mins and my recovery was 7 weeks but my job was quite physical at the time so I knew not to rush back also felt tender for a while. The specialist was shocked to find so much endo so to get pregnant I felt extremely lucky. Xx


 
Dolly wow its so scary. It's good you've done it! 7 weeks recovery is such a long time but so worth it. I'm thinking about my op every day all day. X

Try not to think to much about it but good luck and how you get pregnant nice a quickly xx


 
Thank you for cheering me up. I don't think about it too much. Keep myself busy :) x
 
Well the surgeon found absolutely nothing wrong during my lap,:wall2: which I know should make a normal person pleased but to me it feels like I am back to square one, I was convinced I had endo as my period pains are unbearable and it would have explained the infertility, I mean ive been trying for almost 5 years with my fiance and tried for about 3 yrs with a previous partner yonks ago. What annoyed me tho was that I had a hystereosalpinogram ( flushing dye through the tubes) done about 10 years ago and I was awake at the time and found it was extremely painful but it found everything to be clear, then after the lap the surgeon told me that he didn't check the tubes during the lap as it was on my file that I had that done already, I mean ALOT can happen in ten years!!:shakehead: Anyway yeah I am abit disheartened at the min as I had read so many good news bfp stories happening after laps and tube flushouts that I really had my hopes up.

Also my lap was done on cd17 and I had a light bleed for a few days later ( was told to expect this ) but my period was due on the cd28 (1st august) and didn't arrive until ten days later, I'm now on cd2 and I've never had a heavier period, very clotty, so it must be making up for the ten days delay. So if you are down for a lap dont expect your period to be regular after, I mean it may be but its okay also if its out of whack for a while.

Also a hot water bottle will be your best friend for the gas shoulder pain after the op, I found the trapped gas pain worse than anything else but its subsides after a few days.
 
Charlotte, you've got good docs! Not even been offered a lap!

Donna - that's strange. Guessing they've ruled out PCOS? Can't think what else would cause pain that bad xx
 
Donna thank you for an update. Its good they did not find anything. What is the next step?

Phonixgirl, I just kept going back to docs asking for help. What tests have you done?

Hi Charlotte, yeah it is good that they didn't find anything but I just think that at least if it was endo then they could have fixed it, its the not knowing what the problem is that annoys me... Next step for me is IVF, Ive had my ivf pre appointments and tests and am now just waiting to be called up for it, should be november or december time so not too much longer to wait. Have you got a date for your lap yet? I was soooo nervous about the op but its really nothing to be nervous about.
 
Donna, join us in the long term section hun and we have a special IVF thread. It will come around before you know it :) xx
