Laparoscopy & hysteroscopy...advice? pregnancy success afterwards?

[babyjo]

Hey ladies I hope you guys are doing ok on your road to recovery.

I am now 8 days post op and af is two days late... Been ttc no1 since Dec2010...... I can't believe it! I got a faint positive last night and confirmed positive this morning! I have never heard of this happening so soon post op! I have hardly bd in weeks. I had mc in December and think that I am at high risk of mc given what I've just had done!!!! I am also concerned because the antibiotics I'm on are not to be taken when pregnant at all! I have a post surgery appointment later today so will ask about mc risks etc. I'm also cautious as have been spotting since the procedure. I also hope the path report from my dermoid comes back ok which I should also find out today.

Cautious and scared

Fingers crossed for you babyjo
Let us know how you get on today

 

[babyjo]

My 1st post op appointment was just to check on my healing so i have to wait a few more days to find out path results. I have been told to REST and no more meds(antibiotics or painkillers). They will scan me at 6 weeks-ish. This will be a long 2- 3 weeks.

best of luck babyjo

make sure oh looks after you and you don't lift a finger for next few weeks x

 

[Mommyagain]

Wow Babyjo!! Fingers crossed!

Im feeling a lot better today. Cd16 today. I usually ovulate cd16 or later. Not sure if I should ttc this cycle or not. I think they said no bd for one week. Does that sound about right? I might just not do anything and ttc with my next af. I hope af doesnt take her sweet time getting here. When did everyone get first af after op?

 

[babyjo]

Mommyagain- I reckon 1 week post op BD is ok. Go for it if you feel up to it Good luck if you decide to try again straight away. My consultant reckons that it is easier to conceive in the months after lap/hyst surgery because everything is opened up making it easier for the swimmers to catch the eggy.

Ladies how are your scars doing? i scar badly. two have healed really well but one of them has a big lump and looks horrible. I hope it improves with time.

Dodgeg- are you still bleeding?

 

[Mommyagain]

My scars arent to bad. A little bruised. But the only thing is my belly button looks messed up now. Its like it lost its shape Not sure whats up with that. Will be a week since op tomorrow so maybe it will heal.

 

[Dodgegal]

The bleeding stopped today. I've had AF type pains for the last 2 days so that what I figure it was. I'm wanting to take these stitches out, they are poking me and not looking like they are going to go away. Does anyone know how long they should be in for?

Hey ladies

I had a lap and dye on 21st feb. They removed an 8cm endometrioma (cyst) off one ovary and a 2cm one of my other. Found severe endometriosis, everything was stuck to my pelvic wall, which he cut away, and my right tube is blocked, although they couldnt unblock it.

My stiches started to fall off at about 12 days post op, but there is still 2 in my belly button at the mo.

I only bled a really small amount for 2 days post op, but I had a drain in one of my lap incision sites when I came back from theatre, which drained 150ml blood and they took it out the next morning.

Definately rest as much as you can, dont push it. I did and ended up feeling rubbish for a few days after.

I dont think the op messed up my cycle. My cycles are anything from 29 to 34 days. Im day 30 today, and AF is starting now. We are going to TTC as soon as she has gone... just got to hope I ovulate from my left side!

Em xxx

Hi Ladies,

I just had my lap done yesterday and today I am feeling much better just sore. My scars seem to be healing well. The results from my lap were that I was only born with one ovary and tube. Also had stage 2 endometriosis on my one ovary and tube. The little remnant of a tube i had where there was no ovary they removed it. They burnt off the endo and flushed the tube. They also did ovarian drilling in the one ovary to help it produce more eggs and ovulate. They are pretty sure this is the reason we have not conceived yet because I only have one ovary and tube that was covered with endo. We are hopeful for the next cycle!

Hi! Congrats on making it through your surgery! I was scared too! Super glad I did it though! I feel brand new! I know you asked for success stories and mine isn't, not yet anyways.

I had my lap and hys done on Feb. 16. He found Stage II endo, which was all removed. I also had four HOLES in my cul-de-sac which he fixed as well. Removed a polyp from my uterus, along with some tissue that he found in my uterus that wasn't suppose to be there. That was sent of for biopsy.

I was put on birth control for four weeks leading up to my surgery to make sure I didn't ovulate and stimulate my uterus. They wanted a nice thin lining. We ended up having to postpone surgery for a week so I ended up being on bc for 5 weeks! So after surgery I was lost as far as where I was in my cycle. All I knew was the the dr. said it was ok to bd 1 week post op so we started trying as soon as my bleeding/spotting stopped which was more than a week post op.

I only figured out where I was when I finally ovulated on March 4th. We made sure to bd plenty and I am now 4 dpo! So we will see if the first cycle post op is it for us! I will let you know!

*baby dust and sticky dust to all*

Best of luck babyjo!

Thank you! You won't regret it! At the very least you will find out if you are all clear! If there is a problem they fix it right then and there! Hopefully you can get a BFP before surgery though! FX for you!

Baby2wishes I pray you get your BFP this cycle! Lots of baby dust to you!

Thank you! I hope you heal quickly and can get to trying right away!

Ladies, I have a question? I am not on this forum very often so I'm not sure of the rules. I have a few pictures on a disc of my lap/hys. Is it ok to post those? They are of my insides. Would that be too much? If it is ok, where would I post them? I only think they would be helpful because I have googled and googled and cannot find anything that looks quite like the endo that I had. Especially the holes in my cul-de-sac. I think it would be helpful to someone looking for info about it. What do ya'll think??????????

First off... Good luck! Please keep us updated!

I have pics too and have wondered the same thing. I think it should be ok. If you post them I would just post in the title that the thread has graphic surgery pics.

 

[LGRJWR]

I think it would be fine just put tmi or something so people know
it is graphic.
