March 1 is the day... I am having laparoscopy & hysteroscopy.

Any advice or expierences with this. Recovery time? Any success conceiving afterwards?

I am feeling nervous...

Oh, is hysteroscopy like hsg or is that what it means?
 
Hi hun I know you already know my story but I did not want to r&r...

A hysterocopy is vaginally- with a camera on the end of the instrument- I personally felt no different down there when I woke up, They done that to look at the lining of my womb.

During the laparoscopy they will use the dye like the hsg but they can use more pressure if needs be as you will be asleep.

If you want to refresh yourself on my experience look on page 3 of my journal- The link is in my siggy...

So excited for you hun I really am :hugs:
Also I pm'd you back :) xx
 
Hey Hun
I am recovering from that procedure plus dermoid removal. I was very scared to have it done so i was going to pull out of it. It took a lot of convincing for me to have it removed. I am sooooo glad I had it done. I am now 2 days post op. I made sure i didnt eat or drink even water long before procedure because i HATE being sick. Take trousers with a loose waist band. I have been living in those since. I had no vomiting or nausea post op. I stayed in overnight because I was soooo sleepy after GA.

For the past two days there was a lot of gas pain but it is bearable. ( like trapped wind pain; from the procedure as they expand belly with gas)I drank lots of warm drinks, and used a hot water bottle. It only hurt when I moved position. The only painkiller I took is paracetamol. It is important not to get constipated so I have had warm prunes.

Today the gas pain has eased a lot! The pain is only around the incisions now. The Surgeon said everything else looked healthy, my tubes are clear and my ovary saved. My healing will take a bit longer than yours but I'm already feeling better and mobile. Don't be scared. Good luck. Keep us posted. x
 
Getting ready to leave to head to the hospital for op. Feeling kinda scared but hopeful that this is going to help me conceive.
 
good luck! I hope it will go well, fingers crossed! let us know how it goes, mine is due on 16 April am very very scared
 
I hope everything goes well for you and hopefully this is the ticket to your BFP!

I'll be having a hysteroscopy to remove a polyp, but I'm not sure when it will be yet.
 
It went good and very glad I did it. Fs said after he saw everything that was wrong that this surgery was very neccessary and without it pregnancy wouldve been unlikely.

They found and removed patches of endemtrosis. My tubes were messed up...like twisted around cysts and not blocked but said they wouldve been soon without this op. My ovaries were full of cysts which they removed. They look like they are full of holes now. I had a cyst in a sac in front of my uterus that was almost same size ad uterus and at thd back was something that looked like a parachutte and was full of liquid. Fs said he wasnt even sure what it was and when he was pullin th it out everyone in the room were like "what is that, it looks like an alien". I also had adhesions everywhere. It was a huge mess in there. But he said he fixed it and everything was back in place. He seemed optimistic about me getting pregnant now. He also mentioned when I am healed trying letrozole again now that im cleaned up.

I am in pain but its mainly from the gas so far. Ouch! I am also bleeding. I walk like a slow little old lady. But a heating pad does help. :)
 
I didn't see your original post but saw your follow up glad to hear they straightened things out. I hope you get rest recover well and get your bfp soon.
I go for my lap May 9.
 
I just had the same thing done on Tuesday, and a D&C. I feel really good today, started out a bit sore but I am taking the pain meds they gave me. The gas pain in my shoulders are bad, and it did go up my neck to the back of my head, that was bad. Seems to be all gone now. I only had a small patch of endo which they removed. Everything else was ok.
 
Wow mommyagain! Glad it went well. I was in owe at my surgeon after the procedure because they managed to save my ovary- my dermoid cyst was 10cm!....you must be too! I know it hurts now but just think day by day the pain WILL decrease.

Dodgegal glad your on the mend too.

I'm still walking like an elderly woman! lol! bent over slightly but i managed to go out for a walk around the block yesterday at slow snails pace, and this morning at slightly faster slow snails pace. :)

Are ladies spotting or bleeding? I have been spotting a bit since the op- af is due in couple of days so not sure if that is why.

I don't remember much of what was said to me about when we can start trying again etc. My post op check is on tuesday afternoon.What did your surgeons say about ttc again?

Let's hope that this surgery will give us quick BFPs..........
 
I am bleeding still but not awful. My doc said I could probably ttc again my next cycle. My op was cd11 and I usually have long cycles. He said the op could mess up my af.

Fs said because of all the adhesions and scar tissue he removed I have a higher rate than most of having an ectopic pregnancy and I will have to be closely monitored. Anyone else told this?

Still in pain today especially from the gas. My incisions are stinging. I desperately want a shower but cant stand that long. But all things considered not to bad and if it helps me conceive it will be so worth it.

it's a good thing you have done it then. Can I ask you if any of the things that were wrong were visible from the scan? have they expected to find any of these things or was it a total "surprise"?

I was told that they will only do a polyp and a cyst if necessary but for anything major they will do another one after discussing it with me.

one more question, have you had a pre-laparoscopy meeting? mine is scheduled one month before the actual laparoscopy so i wonder what's it for?
 
No it was mostly a surprise. They did see some of the cysts on my ovaries during vaginal u/s but everything else was not visible or known until my op.

I had my pre-op appt feb 28. They did bw to make sure I didnt have any infections or anything and double checked I wasnt pregnant...all routine. Then they went over the procedures and answered my questions. I also signed paperwork. A pre-op is standard. I go march 22 for my post op and to discuss my next step.
 
Today, guess day 3, I've had some small clots and lots of blood so far. Little sore in there. I'm on day 23 of my 26 day cycle, so not sure if i'll get cramp pain like usually, maybe this is what it is now, not sure. Did order a OPK kit so I can start figuring out when I will ovulate again.
 
Hey ladies

How have you been over the weekend? I'm day 6 post op- I'm feeling a little teary so think af is very near. It was due today but still just getting spotting. My incisions are still uncomfortable and stingy on movement but feeling a bit more human.

It sounds good that we should be able to ttc next cycle:) I was thinking they may recommend 3/6 months!Will check with my surgeon in a day to see if she says the same for me; Then I can get stocked with TTC kit OPKs, folic acid etc.

Are you guys on antibiotics? I think mine are upsetting my tummy a bit.
 
I'm not on any antibiotics. Yesterday I had so much energy but I think I over did it. Very tired last night and today, I am getting my AF cramps now too so very sore. Didnt take any pain killers last night as I wanted to see what the pain was so i could keep track of it. Friday night in my sleep I some how made my bellybutton stitches bleed. They look ok now. Clots come out when I pee and bloody when i wipe, few big clots but most are small.

How long does it take for the clots to go away? Not sure if its just my AF working or if this is normal? I know your suppose to bleed some.
 
Hi ladies :hugs:
Glad you are all recovering nicely :)

Try not to push yourself too much like I did, it made me tired when I done that, but try and get up and walk around evey now and then.

So glad you all had the op done you should be proud of yourselves :)

I had mine 2 months ago and I feel like normal- after about 6 days after the op I felt prtically normal again :) You will feel recovered in no time, in the meantime make the most of you oh doing everything for you :)
