As most of you know I have been ttc for about 18 months and have had most of the tests involved. They have detected that I have pco but not pcos. I have completed 6 months of clomid with no preg. I have asked my consultant if he could give me a lap op to see if I have pcos or endo but he said no as he will not give 'comfort' lap ops and it is too dangerous! They are also ignoring the fact that I have some pco on my right ovary,which btw, I noticed from my scan and had to enquire about!
I decide that I needed to go back to my dr's and ask to be refered toa different consultant/ hospital, which I did and have now been to see another gynae and I'm now due to have lap op at the end of November. He says that he would like to rule out possibilities before he recommends IUI/ IVF etc. He say that he will look for PCOS through not just blood results but from waht he finds . He said that he may do ovarian drilling. He also said that he will check endometriosis and if he finds anything he will try to remove it.
My question is, that I'm a bit anxious as I havent had an op since I was three years old and wondered if anyone else had had this or will be having this op. I'm not sure to, as I havent been told, if we need to refrain from intercourse. I know this sound stupid but I'm not sure whether we should continue trying as period is due just before op?
Sorry if it's a long post-Would really appreciate your advice.

comfy pants for afterwards which really helped whist I healed up.
now. She's due on Wednesday and should be all gone in time for the op.
!! They'll ask you tons of questions about your past history with anaesthetics and your medical history/ family medical history. They'll also probably measure you for the operation stockings which are to keep your blood flowing properly during the op. They did swabs (throat/ nasal and groin) at mine to check I don't have any nasty hospital superbugs (!!!), took my blood pressure and answered my questions about the op and recovery. Then they sent me off for full blood count. If I have to have this done again I will scream as I feel like a pin-cushion with all the bloods I've had taken over the past few months!!
s at home and the NHS ones were 
for a week after that. They only confirmed my PG with blood tests. I'm sure that you can insist on a hCG blood test if you think you may be PG. That should show from about 5-7DPO if you are PG.
and then 1 above my knicker line( its so small you cant even see it).
I am a little bruised now but feel fine....they give me a sick note for a whole 7 days so its been lovely to sit on B&B!!
I wish now I hadn't worried about it all now (easier said than done) BUT would have one done again in a heartbeat without worrying x x x
