Laparoscopic ovarian diathermy (lod)

[charbaby]

and laparoscopy and dye test. Anyone had these done?
I have been to my first f/s today and been put on the waiting list for this, Its a four month waiting list in my area so just wanting to get myself prepared for what it entails, I have read all the information they gave me about it, but of course real life experiences will be much more detailed as to how it REALLY is.

Ive copied and pasted this from my journal- hope this helps a little any questions etc just ask me-

I told them I was on my period full flow and the surgeon didnt even blink an eye and done it

I was in tears before I went down and whilst going to sleep I was the second lady in... They was all VERY lovely and supportive to me....

So I was in and out of surgery in about an hour, I come round and they asked me on a scale of 1-3 how much pain I was in I said 2 so they gave me painkillers... Apparently I was a little disorientated fiddling withthe thingy in my hand and asking for oh lol when he wasnt even there as he wasnt allowed to stay I was saying he was in the room waiting lol...

Anyhow about an hour after I was up and going to the toilet... I took it easy Im walking very slowly, I couldnt go back to sleep and still havent as I have visitors here at home I just dont feel tired.. I have been keeping dosed up on painkillers and I feel minimal pain just mainly uncomfortable at times but nothing major- Hopefully I wont be any worse tomorrow fx'd

ANYWAY RESULTS ARE-
-My left tube was blocked BUT they unblocked it so I now have two tubes
-They done ovarian drilling and she is happy with my ovaries she said my pcos wasnt too bad and they should work good now...
-No endo
-My lining is always good they looked in my uterus- So ,must have been the clomid thinning my lining....

So basically she is happy as I have two tubes and should have more regular periods... Now the nurse said try naturally now as I am absolutely fine see how things go- They will send me a follow up appointment and discuss plans etc then...

I didnt however ask when we can bed again? Any ideas???

I am so happy that I had the op done and I would do it again if I had too

I had an HSG (hysterosalpingogram...say that five times fast!) I think that's quite similar. That's where they put dye in through a catheter.

I was warned by several people that it would be painful. So I took a ton of ibuprofen before I went into the appointment! Was slightly uncomfortable (as uncomfortable as a pap smear), but no pain! And it was kind of cool to see it. They had a screen right there showing my pelvis and you saw the results right away.

I had a bit of spotting afterwards, but nothing major. And a bit of light cramping, but really was not as bad as I anticipated! I was SO nervous the night before! My husband and I went out for dinner and I threw up my delicious meal on the way home I was so nervous! All for nothing! haha!

Is LOD the same as ovarian drilling?

I don't know much about it but i've seen it mentioned in here (and in the lttc success section) - might be worth trying the search function to see if you can get more info

Hi Nell, yeah i think it is the same, if not very similar to ovarian drilling.
Ill check it out thanks x
