Hi ladies had my RE visit this morning. We found out that there is a large cyst on my left ovary so i have to do a next ultrasound 6 weeks from now, if the cyst has disappeared & no BFP at that time, we are going to be doing an IUI for the following cycle. Really hoping that i get my BFP before then.

It is now 6 weeks after my OD. I have ovulated twice now. (possibly the first time ever) I am starting my 2WW. I am really hoping I can say I have a BFP soon! Anyone considering the OD procedure, I would highly recommend it. Also, I am not sure if it has anything to do with the surgery, but I have lost 7 pounds since OD. I have been running and working out consistently for 2 years and have only been maintaining my weight.

Hi Ladies,

MariaF, Kstan and Babydust1 - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Oohh Tomorrow is the BIG day! It has come round finally! - I think its quite quick because I am doing the procedure privately, if I had gone through the NHS it would have taken a lot longer plus I wouldnt have got my OBGYN. Anyway alls well that ends well. If the OP works and I am sure it will - it will be worth it, and if not well its not the end of the world - I have faith!

snflwrgrl9 - Best of luck - hope to hear ur gud news soon and Maria yours too.

Lots of baby dust all our way!!!! X x X

Arza - I love the PMA! And thank you for thinking of me

Ill be thinking of you tomorrow and crossing my fingers! Look forward to your story of how it went

Keisha - cysts are quite common and most of them do dissolve by themselves. I really hope you get your BFP soon. Ohterwise we may be do IUI at the same time

Hello Ladies,

I had my op done on Wednesday - All went well.

I have 4 scars - 2 on my sides, 1 inside my belly button and one just under my bikini line. I am really sore around the scars. Some are still slightly bleeding - not sure if they are opening up as I am having to move around a lot. I also have severe constipation - did anyone else go through that and what did you do to solve that?

The doc has given me pics of the operation and I had 4 holes done in each ovary. I have a follow on appointment in 6 weeks time. Now just a 2 week recovery time. The hospital was great and the staff were amazing - so overall OK! I still feel that it is too expensive privately when it is done for free on the NHS, however all done now - no going back!

So,ladies - advice please I have just had very slight bleeding (just droplets) over the last two days - its stopped now i think - what I want to know is when did you start doing ovulation tests? My doc said that I should start trying for a baby in 2 weeks time after full recovery but he hopes that I should have had an AF in the 6 weeks before I am to see him! I asked him about the ovulation testing and he said that he is not a fan of the OPK's as they can be inaccurate...so he said that he would just advice intercourse every other day after 2 weeks. So any advice again will be appreciated.

Hope you are all well - write soon!

Hi Arza - glad all went well! I agree about the private costs but the waiting on the NHS is horrible.
I was very sore around stitches - lasted about 2 weeks. But don't remember constipation.... I hope it goes soon

I started doing OPKs on day 10 after the surgery and got my strong positive the very next day! I then had some sever pains on Day 12 so I believe i ovulated then. So Id start doing the tests from day 9-10 after the op.

I hope you get a positive soon!

 

[snflwrgrl9]

Arza - so glad you are doing well after your OD. I ovulated on day 11 after my OD. I would recommend testing starting at day 9 or 10 as well. As for the constipation, my lasted for about 3-4 weeks. There wasn't much that helped me. I tried getting some extra fiber and using Metamucil to help, but it still lasted about 3-4 weeks. That was the worst part for me.

I hope you have a speedy recovery and we hear about a BFP from you soon!

Hello Ladies like MariaF, Kstan and Babydust1,

well i had my OD on the13th may i jus decided to do a search on success after OD and found this site i must say you ladies have been tru so much but im glad that there is alot of posiives well i cheated in reading the post im now on page 30 and decided to move to the last page to see how u guys are doin, glad to see all is well,

A little of my history i dont no if to say my case is unexplained or pcos i have y periods every 28 days like clock work till aug 2010 when all went wrong and it stopped coming over the years i have done hsg tubes were fine one doc said i have pcos and wanted to do the surgery since 3 years ago to remove cyst but couldnt one day show me the cyst on the ultra sound soi also did 2 iui with clomid which failed i went for another opinion and was told i dont have cyst even though i dont ,i have always had bad acne and oily skin and hairy legs and under my chin so he suspects its mild pcos.

well i took some time off since that crazed dr wanted to do surgery to remove lord knows what i wasnt comfortable i felt like i was goin to be cheated on an robbed so never the less my new dr suggested lap/od to rule out endo.

the results of the lap/od is that i have no cyst and no endo so there was nothin more to do than the OD recovery was wonderful not much pain, a bit gassy and bloated but i took pain killer only the even i returned home and that was it. So its now 3 weeks after OD and i noticed my acne has eased up so too has the oily skin and hair under the chin.

So im keeping my fingers crossed that within a ew months i too can be a success story.

Baby dust to all

I went for my OD on the 1st of June 2011, and they discovered i had grade 3 ENDO which they removed, the op was fine, no pain on the cuts (3 tiny ones) but the gas afterwards was horrible, it took me 4 days to be able to move properly.

Day 5 after the op my cut in my belly button started to pain and itch, hopefully becuase it is healing.

A friend of mine suggested starting to try after a week, has anyone started that soon? Im a bit scared its gonna be sore as it might not be healed properly.

I've started a Journal called "Tella TTC #1 Journal" to keep track of all the happenings from hereon. Lets hope and pray we get a BFP soon.

Baby Dust to all

 

[MariaF]

I think we started tring 10 days after the op because I got a positive OPK on day 11. Dind't fall though

But this was my second laparoscopy and I had no gas pains at all this time. First time I was also in pain for days after the op!!

Good luck!

 

[Tella]

From what day did you start the OPK test?

Yeah the gas is terrible but hopefully worth it.
Good luck to you too

 

[arza786]

Hi Tella,

You and I both had OD on the 01st of June!! Well I think from the advise the ladies - on previous posts it is worth trying 10 days after!

I will definately try, but to be honest all I am hoping for at the moment is a natural regular period within 6 weeks and regularity of cycles just so that I can maximise this operation and hopefully get pregnant. Ofcourse if I do ovulate and fall preganant in the 1st month - that would just be awesome!!!!!
Well goodluck to you and me both!

MariaF - what cycle are you on? Has your FS confirmed IUI as next step for you? Hope you are well!

snflwrgrl9- Whats going on with you?

And all you OD graduates how is the pregnancy coming along! updates please!

[snflwrgrl9]

Hey Arza786! Thanks for thinking of me. I am currently 9DPO and waiting for my bloodtest on Saturday morning. I am so anxious. I will be taking my own HPT this week (just to check). However, I know that it might not be a true reading because I had an HCG shot and this could still be in my system and create a positive test. So, I probably won't know for sure until Saturday. I have had 2 appts for bloodwork this week and they say my progesterone level is good. So.....FX!!

Hi Tella! I O'd at 11 days after my OD. I wasn't expecting it to happen so fast, but was really happy that it did. This is my second month ovulating since my OD. Hoping for a BFP soon (like this week!)! Good luck to you and baby dust to us all!

 

[MariaF]

Im on cycle 4 after the OD - the first Clomid cycle. I tink I ovulated once - the first cycle after the op, but not since. Will be asking for progesterone test for next Monday to confirm if I ov'ed this month.

Given that you only have 6-9 months to get pg after the drilling we only have 2-3 months left. In august we are on holidays so by the time we come back it's about 6-7 months since the op. Time to think about next steps. For us the only options are IUI and IVF. I suppose they will start with IUI before moving onto IVF.
Tella - I started doing OPK's on day 10 after the op and got a strong positive on day 12 was pretty amazsed actually as before the OD I only ovulated on clomid!

 

[kstan]

Arza glad the op went well for u. Lots of luck to the other who've recently had od done too.
I was far too impatient to go au natural so one mtg after my op I went on clomid and paid for follicle tracking and hcg trigger shot. Best money ever spent x

 

[keisha403]

Hi ladies, i am here just waiting to ovulate. I am on CD13 so i should be Oing this week or probably early next week

 

[Tella]

I spoke to the doc and he said once I have a discharge I should start testing so I started today. Day 9 but it is still negative but there is a light blue second line so at least there is LH in my system  Will continue testing for 7 days from here on.

snflwrgrl9 - Im holding big thumbs for you girl!!!!! Please let us know what is happening.

MariaF and keisha403- I will be holding thumbs that you guys Ov'ed this month. I know that feeling for too well when it doesn't happen. You guys are in my prayers!

kstan - It is so nice to hear your story and gives me an plan of action if I haven't Ov'ed in 4 months.

 

[kstan]

Good luck keisha and tella. Everything crossed you ovulate xxx
