Anyone?x

I hope someone else replies to you soon, as I think you've already read what I have to say about the lap I had 6 days ago! I know there are lots of girls out there who have had them; hopefully some can help you out with success stories on the specifics you asked about!

 

[Lisa92881]

There's a few threads going on about lap's...you may be able to get more info there. I had a hysteroscopy and d&c Friday and it was really easy. But I'm sure you want to hear from ladies who have had the other 2 more invasive surgeries. I just wanted to wish you good luck. I'm sure your BFP will be on the way soon!

 

[scerena]

Thanks for your replies girls I really appreciate it

Lizzy how are you feeling now?

Lisa- how are you feeling? And thanks for the luck

to you girls

[Lisa92881]

I'm feeling great, thanks for asking. Surgery was Friday, I was a little crampy Fri night and Saturday, and was pretty much back to normal by Sunday!!

 

[scerena]

Im glad to hear that and also glad that you had a speedy recovery
So whats your next step now?x

 

[Lisa92881]

I have a follow-up appt Wednesday, the plan was to start me on Clomid (so I had an HSG, which found the polyps, and so on) so I'm hoping I get the OK to take it and try again right away.

 

[scerena]

Please let me know how you get on gl hun xx

 

[scerena]

Well Im having my op tomorrow, wish me luck please ladies! x

 

[BearsMummy]

Good Luck for tomorrow :hugs;

 

[scerena]

Thanks hun- its been cancelled so no op for me now until the 3/01/12 as apparently they have an emergency- surely if it was an emergency it woud have been dealt with today not tomorrow! I was in tears when I got off the phone I was ready for the op deep down! Just had enough now! I have to be scared for another 3 weeks now! xx

 

[BearsMummy]

Oh, No!! Thats pants.

Try to not worry, have a good xmas and New Year, take your mind off it.

Let us know how you get on when you do have the op.

Just wanted to let you know that I've had severe pcos and mild endo since I was 16. I'd NEVER had a regular cycle and in December 2008 I had my first lap. I realise it may not be the case for everyone but for me IT CHANGED MY LIFE! I started having regular periods (every 28 days like clockwork) for 2 years!!! The best 2 years of my life. We just caught the end of the lucky 2 years when I fell pregnant with my son Unfortunately since he has been born I am out of sync all over again

So I booked with my gynae and went to him yesterday and he confirmed that my pcos has come back and it's severe. He found clusters of little cysts then 2 big ones on either side. He then said he also suspects endometriosis! He has booked me for a lap on 4 January, he said he's going to do lap, dye and D&C (if it looks ok), otherwise pehaps some laser if it's worse, he can't assess how bad just from the scan. He sent me for bloods yesterday and said he will call me on Thursday and fax through a script but he said if his suspicions are confirmed he will start me on metformin straight away and then after the lap he's going to combine the metformin with clomid and time my cycles for when hubby is home.

All I can say is I'm verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry excited for the lap! If I get the same results I did last time I'll be over the moon! I really credit my beautiful son to the lap and if I have to have one every year I'll gladly do it for a "normal" cycle and minimal pain and bloating.

Good luck! You have nothing to lose and I'm praying for you too that you'll have lots to gain

 

[scerena]

Thanks bearsmummy- I definately will keep you updated when I have it done, I am going to enjoy the holiday season and look forward to it this time as its a few days after the new year...

jogami- Hi hun that really helps to give me hope! I am glad that you managed to ovulate so regularly on your own and to fall pregnant¬ I hope the op has that success for me also
So yours is January the 4th! Mine is now January the 3rd! We should definately be lap buddies
I have heard good succes with metformin and clomid combined! I have done clomid alone but no success from it
How did you find your first lap? Was you in much pain afterwards? You do have such a beautiful son you are very blessed!

[Lizzy444]

I hope AF doesn't show! That must be so frustrating

I don't know if they'll do the op if you're sick. Maybe depends on how sick?

 

[scerena]

Im feeling slightly better already- I have been keeping dosed up on meds- as we havent been actively ttc this cycle- well we have bd no protecton but I gave up taking the cycle seriously when I reached cd 30 something!

I am praying af shows now or doesnt bother coming!

How is everything with you Lizzy?x

 

[Lizzy444]

Good that you're feeling better!

I'm great, thank you for asking. My belly button incision itches like crazy at times (looks ok), but all of the glue (as of a few days ago) is *finally* gone!

I'm on day 4 of Clomid and go in next Wednesday for an u/s to determine when to do Ovidrel. Gonna do OPKs on my own leading up to that, though, because I'm afraid I might ovulate before the appointment and I don't want to miss it!

 

[scerena]

Yay glad your belly button looks better and you are feeling well!
Have you taken clomid before? Glad to see theyre helping you straight away
Yes i use to do opks when on clomid especially! Let me know how it goes hun
