[laustiredttc]

hey ladies it is really inspiring reading your stories of success. I have my lap/dye/hysterocopy tomorrow and whilst i feel a little nervous i am excited that i might get some answers instead of being classed as unexplained! I heard that eating polo's afterwards helps with the pain in the shoulders so taking some of those with me tomorrow.

congratulations to all you ladies who had successful ops and good luck with the

I'm glad you made it through well and the good news still outweighs the bad! Its nervewrecking to wait for those results but the main thing is you have more positive options then you do negative! I'm going ok, still very tender and still pretty bloated/swollen. I've feeling really emotional this morning I'm just trying to stay occupied as much as I can to keep myself distracted! Keep me posted on your recovery!

 

[laustiredttc]

thanks hun will do. I know how you feel as well, i feel like i have aged about 50 years lol. Just gonna take it easy until i start to feel a bit better. Hope you feel better soon as well hun

lau, I am sorry you didn't get the news you wanted, but at least now you know. I am sure IUI or IVF will be great solutions for you. I have done 3 rounds of IUI and the first 1 I became pregnant, so those techniques do work. Just get rest and try to stay positive.

HearMyPrayers are you still sore?! I know he removed a ton of endo, and my one side is still so sore! I guess I thought I would have been back to work by now - i am not sure I am even going back tomorrow (I do have to walk up 3 flights of stairs which is making me nervous)...I just have this one very bad pain which I think is from the side that had alot of endo. I am getting frustrated now I just want to move on!

 

[laustiredttc]

thankyou curlygurl, i think that will prob be the way forward as well we shall see

i had a small amount of endo they had to remove and it has left me quite sore so i can only imagine them removing more and how much more painful it must be!!! Rest well and let us know how your recovering hun

I'm sore more in my incisions at this point. I only have 2 one in the belly button and one to the left. I do have an achy feeling and my ovaries are sore I can actually feel them on both sides. I'm actually pretty bruised around my belly button and I'm still pretty swollen and bloated looking. I looked 5 months pregnant over the weekend...now I look about 3 months lol! I think I'm going back to work Thursday, booked off till Friday but starting to go a little stir crazy! Do you have a follow up booked yet with your FS? I'm not sure when mine is or when they will call for the follow up

 

[curlygurl]

I called the nurse today because I was having pain when I was breathing, and it turned out I had endo removed from my diaphragm! So it totally makes sense why I am so drained. I am still not sure what to do about tomorrow for work, I think I will make the call in the morning. I too am feeling a little stir crazy, but I want to give myself the best option for healing properly. So will see. My bloating went down pretty fast, but I think that was because I had to do the liquid diet for 3 days. Hope everyone is feeling better today, and that we are on our way to pregnancy!!

Girl I didnt even have anything removed (endo) and I'm drained so I think taking one more day for you is best! you want to fully recover! I made the mistake of grocery shopping today swelling came right back and my lower back has been killing me from sleeping on my back every night! So I think you should take a little more time to heal! we all should!

 

[laustiredttc]

i totally agree girls. I am very tender in my belly button area where the stitches are. I have three. One just above my bikini line, one under my belly button and one to the left where they removed the endo from behind my left ovary. I dont think i had any removed from my diaphram but i know what you mean curlygurl about being a bit breathless. I am still very tired and when i move around i have to sit down to catch my breath and rest. I think girls that it would prob be best if you took the days to relax and let your bodies heal. I think also that the pain relief that they gave me is making me drowsy so i tend to have a short nap in the afternoon. Def feeling better compared to the last two days though which is good. Bring on the healing and hopefully some with it

YES PLEASE BRING ON BFPS!! I've never been so anxious for AF to start (due any day) so we can start getting down to business ha ha!

 

[curlygurl]

I stayed home today again. I really needed it though, I am finally feeling a little more like myself. I know what you mean - I am SO ready to start trying!! I actually had my lap mid cycle, I haven't been doing any O tracking I was hoping it would maybe delay b/c of the surgery, and once we can start trying (this weekend) it would start up...total wishful thinking. I am still having a little spotting here and there. Which I wish would just stop. But I would be ok with AF coming right now so I can get started!

lau I had 3 incisions as well - mine sound like they are in the exact same spots.

Are your incisions itchy? Mine have been so itchy, I think that is a sign that they are healing, but man oh man do they itch!

 

[HearMyPrayers]

my belly button incision is the itchy-ist! I'm having pain on my right side of my belly button it feels very tender I almost stop in my tracks when I get the pain. I dont know if its normal and I'm having a pulling feeling from what feels like my pelvic bone in the front right where your bikini line is and goes up to the right side of my uterus....I dont know if its all normal but it hurts! In the hysteroscopy they do, does the doctor take a biopsy of the uterus?

 

[laustiredttc]

i dont have any itching but i do have pulling and it does stop me up short. I tried hoovering today but stopped almost as soon as i started, way too much too soon. But did manage to prepare the tea for later. I think they do take a biopsy hun and then talk to you about it at the next app. I am super excited to get started. I also had mine mid cycle so i will have at least 3 weeks before we bd again. I have to get my dh to help with a shower when he comes home later so that should be fun then will redress the wounds. Just looking forward to when i can move about normal again.

After everything that i have had to do so far i can say that i am glad i went ahead with it. Now i can look forward and start to feel excited again

 

[HearMyPrayers]

Agreed its like a renewal in your spirit to keep trying! Word to the wise...I almost fainted flat out fainted nearly when I took the bandages off! I dont know why but I just got so hot and dizzy and saw black I barely was able to sit down fast enough! so please dont do it yourself have DH redress for you! I'm back to work tomorrow, feeling a little emotional lately but maybe getting back into a routine will help.

 

[laustiredttc]

i'm glad i'm not the only one hun. I have been so emotional since the op and for some reason little things just set me off! Like today dh came home for lunch and i went to make him a cup of tea and felt a bit shakey, he told me to sit down and he would do it and all of a sudden i just started to cry saying i felt so useless. He was great of course but i think that the whole thing has just taken alot out of me. So your not on your own hun I am very squeamish when it comes to blood so he will def be doing it as well!

 

[HearMyPrayers]

DH has been great he has done everything even things he was completely uncomfortable (helping change my pad in the hospital) he did it without a bat of an eye so he is amazing I think him going back to work just set off my emotions but I'm on day 2 of being alone and I'm managing but I do sense I'm a little edgy when he comes home I almost feel "neglected" now! lol women are never satisfied lol!

Oh got my follow up appt Nov 26th our 1 year anniversary lol!

 

[laustiredttc]

wow thats great hun. I hope you get your before then hun

ok so removing the dressings was scary tonight but dh was lovely, just helped me with them and like you said didnt even bat an eyelid when i was having a bit of a meltdown haha.

Gosh i hope my letter comes through this week to let me know when my app is. fx

howz things curlygurl, how you feeling?

 

[curlygurl]

I am feeling ok. Just resting up for work tomorrow. I totally know what you are talking about with changing the dressings - DH did mine the first 2 days, and I have been doing it since then, but I can barely look at them! LOL. My weird pain in my side is finally gone, and I think the spotting is finally gone too.

I have my follow up scheduled already for November 12 - it can't come soon enough!!
