Hysteroscopy remove polyp/laparascopy to unblock tubes,outcome p.7,pics p.8

Hello Ladies, i will be having my hysteroscopy done on Monday. I am so scared :-( not sure why. I have been trying to conceive for almost 2 years and I am hoping this will do the trick.
My RE found a small uterine poly that needs to be removed. I almost opted for not doing the surgery but i am hoping this will help. Just so worried about the recovery time

Good luck with your surgery hun!!:thumbup: I hope it is just what you need to get your BFP!!:dust::dust:

I am getting super nervous about the my surgey too, since it is next wednesday!! :wacko: Eeeeekkkkkk......

I have heard the recovery from the hysteroscopy is quick and in a few days you will be back to normal. I am doing the lap with it so it will take a little longer to heal for me. I have been talking to the girls on here about the surgeries and over all they dont seem so bad... It is still scary though... Fingers crossed for us both!!

You need to come back to the thread and update on how your procedure went!!
 
Good luck to both of you having surgery this coming week.
I had a laparoscopy in February and was back to normal in 72 hours. It's the anesthesia and the gas that made me crazy for the first 24 hrs. You girls will do just fine!
I hope everything goes well and you can move onto motherhood :)

I have to be at the outpatient surgery center tomorrow morning at 6:30 am and the surgery is scheduled for 7am. I will be updating the thread with the outcome after it is done, and once I am feeling up to it, which might not be until Thursday!! Fingers crossed I wake up after surgery with 2 open healthy tubes and a cleaned out/healthy uterus!!!!:thumbup:

Lordy I need something for my nerves and anxiety to calm me down today!!! :wacko::wacko::wacko: I just reminding myself that everything is going to be alright and trying to focus on the positives after it is done!!!
 
Quick question for you girls that have been though this surgery before, about my surgery tomorrow, probably sounds like a silly question, but do I need to shave down there in my lady parts??:blush: Or are they going to shave down there if I dont?? I read that they clean the area with antiseptic... This is an embarrising question for sure, but I was still wondering??:blush:
 
Hello there, i had my hysteroscopy and it was a piece of cake. I did not shave my private part but I usually keep it clean and low anyways. You be fine, don't worry about a thing
 
It should not matter. My OBGYN told me it was helpful for him, but that was just him. I have no hair down there so I like to think it helps them do their job but who knows. If they need to shave you they will. Good luck to you! You will be just fine.
I hope you wake up with patent tubes!! :)
 
Thanks for your responses girls, I am glad that doesn't sound like a silly question to you girls!! :blush: Sometimes I shave my lady parts and sometimes I don't so I was curious if it was required or not.

Did any of you girls have a breathing tube well you were under anathesia? I was reading paperwork about the surgery and they were saying they may put in a breathing tube well you are knocked out so yiour throat may be soar after the surgery. Do any of you girls remember if you did or not, or do you remember having a soar throat?
 
Yes, almost always you will need a tube down your throat when going under general anesthesia. It does not hurt your throat afterwards. Not for me it didnt and I have had it done 5 times in my lifetime. They do have to tell you that is may hurt, but unless they shove it down your throat, you should not even know it was there.
Let us know the results! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
 
Thanks for sharing your experiences with me on this thread and for following my story girls!! :hugs:

I am home laying upstairs in the master bedroom relaxing. DH is being really sweet and he is waiting on me on hand and foot. He is making me dinner right now.

So we got to the surgical center on time at 6:30 am. We woke up super early at like 4:45 am because we live a little over an hour away from the surgical center.

I was calm up until I was in the back and I gotten undressed and had put on my gown, When the nurse put in the needle into my hand for the IV, it stung like a hot pocker, and my nerves got the best of me and I started crying.:cry: They gave me warm blankets asked a bunch of medical questions related to my medical history, and they also confirm your identity and repeadetly ask what surgery you are there for.

My Dr came in and he was very nice and calming. he talked to me about the surgery and asked ifI had any questions. Next thing I know I am being taken into the surgical room, with a bunch of nurses and the anathesia people. Once I was strapped onto the table the anathesia guy told me he was putting something into my IV to put me to sleep, I felt my eyes go rolling into my head and than next thing I am waking up in the recovery room.

My DR stopped by to let me know that he was able to unblock my second tube, so now I have 2 open tubes!!!:happydance::happydance: he successfuly removed my polyp from my uterus and now it looks good. He also removed some scar tissue well he was in there, and he found endometrios which he removed as well. So it was a good thing he did the lap because he was able to remove the scar tissue and discovered that I have endometrios. So overall I am happy about the end result, but a little worried about the endometrios and how that is going to affect my TTC. :shrug: But he removed it, so hopefully it wont have an impact now? I need to talk to the DR about this and do some research about this on my end. Well I was in the recovery room I was shivering because it was so chilly, and the nurse was making me do breathing exersizes to calm me down, because I was freaking out a little after I woke up. They also gave me juice and grahm crackers, ice pop, crushed ice, I started out with the light fluids and than had the food after.

I have a bunch of color pictures from the surgery that I want to scan and post so you girls can see. Hopefully I will be able to do that soon. They are pretty neat pictures.

So I am recovering okay. I was prescribed a RX for an antibiotic and for pain meds. I am super sleepy from the anathesia and keep falling asleep.

My belly is all bloated from the air in it, and i have 2 cuts, a bunch of small ones above my belly button, and one cute inmy groin area. The cut in my belly button is draining alot and has blood coming out and pooling up behind my bandage, I have changed it once and will be changing it again soon. The belly button is worrying me a little, but I did read in the paper work that it is normal to have some draining from that wound. Hopefully it will stop bleeding soon though.

My maxi pad was soaked after the surgery with alot of blood, But now the flow is much lighter, so that is good.The nurse warned me that if the blood stayed heavy and was soaking maxis in one hour than i need to goto the ER, but the blood flow has subsided. I also keep feeling like I need to go pee, and no matter how much I pee it isn't enough, I think it was from the IV fluids they gave me though. The feeling is getting better now and subsiding so hopefully it will be gone in a few days. MY throat is really soar from the breathing tube, and I cant eat hard dry foods like bread without it feeling like it will get caught in my throat, so far I ate ice cream and I am having soup for dinner.

Overall the experience wasn't to bad. I think the anticpation and waiting is the worst part. My DR and the nurses at the surgical center were all very nice to me.
 
Question for you girls that had the Lap procedure done. Did you have drainage from your belly button, and if so, how much drainage was there and how long did it last?

My bellybutton had some bloody drainage, and than it turned into a watery drainage with less blood. I think today it is slowing down, but I was just wondering if this was normal for you girls also?
 
Well here are the pictures from my surgery......

I am putting them on a spoiler in case anyone is squemish about seeing this stufff...


This is a picture of my polyp and him getting ready to take it out..I think the dot in the one pic is him opening up my other tube...

Doing a little dance... :happydance: Glad your surgery went well! After my surgery there was a bit of drainage just like you're asking but not much. the little cuts are pretty much healed noe a month and a half down the line... let :sex::sex::sex: begin in ernest. Have you been charting, OPK before the OP? anything you plan to do differently now that your tubes are open.

Thanks for the support and well wishes hun!!:hugs: I have over 100 IC HPT's stocked up. I have about 40 OPK's for ovulation. I also have about 25 other HPT's, some of the 10 miu sensitive test strips and some mid stream tests!! :thumbup: So I am fully stocked up.

I did buy a basal body temperature thermometer and I want to start temping and charting on Fertility frind for my September cycle also, so that will be something new for me this time around.

I want to try a few rounds of clomid with :sex: theold fashioned way and if that doesn't work than we will be moving onto IUI next.

How about you? Wht are your TTC plans?
 
Great news! Did you doctor tell you what he did to open your tube? Is it permament or do you have to be agressive with TTC now? I ask because my Dr. temporarily opened my tubes but clearly they closed back up since we never conceived after the lap was done and I have no other issues but occluded tubes.
Did he say why your tube was blocked? I'm very curious because I suffer from blocked tubes. I hope you recovery quickly! :)

Thanks for the well wishes hun!!!:flower:

My DR didn't think my tube was actually blocked I dont think, I think he believes it just spasmed during my HSG and when he did the lap and dye it was easy to verify it is open.

I am so sorry about the problems with your tubes hun!!!:hugs: :hugs:

My concern now is that they discovered Endometriosis, and he was able to remove it, but I have read that over time the Endo can grow back, so I have heard from other girls that have Endo that the 6 months after the lap is when we are most fertile and to take advanatage of that time. As a result I have stepped up my time frame to start IUI cycles with clomid sooner than originally planned, and only doing 2 cycles of timed :sex: with clomid before moving onto the IUI.

I also am going to start considring using donor sperm sooner than originally planned if we get to the 6 month post surgery time frame and I am not pregnant yet, because of DH's low sperm count. I dont want to go through this surgery again anytime soon if the Endo grows back, and DH & me wont be able to afford IVF anytime soon either. Infertility sucks... Sigh...:growlmad:
 
It does suck! It's very common for women's tubes to spasm during an HSG. I found it to be very painful and am dreading going back for another one. I really need to go so I can figure out how successful/unsuccessful my lap was back in February. No BFP so I think they closed back up. I was never told why they were blocked either considering my HSG results 1.5 yrs prior to the lap my tubes were, in fact, patent.
I think you are making a wise decision by being aggressive in TTC. I know several women that prego after theirlap and endo was removed. Yes, it will always come back, so that is why it is important to go full speed ahead. I'm sure you will find success in pregnancy if he took care of everything in yourlap that needed to be addressed.
90% of women I personally know were prego within 3 months of their lap. I seem to be the only one that wasn't. But, good luck!
 
af showed up today knew it was wishful thinking that i would get pregnant 1st cycle after polyp removal.
