Thanks Wannabe I am happy about the surgery this time, I already know what to expect, just can't wait to get it out of the way. Any idea when you might be going in for yours?? xx

Your Welcome!!!

For now my surgery is postponed because I started a new job and I didnt want to take any time off when I am new to the company. I am thinking that I will most likely be able to do it in the summer. I have a 90 day trial period where I am a temp before I can become a permanent employee and than i can earn some vacation time so I could request time off for surgery than. The only problem is that the girl I work with is going out on maternity leave in June assuming that her baby stays on schedule so that could cause a delay in when I can take time off.. so we will see. Looking on the bright side I am able to save up some money now since I am working to be able to pay for my costs towards the surgery and than IUI when i am ready!!

I have been super busy with work, and for the most part I have been doing well. I am working as a recruiter and my job is a nice place to work. My coworkers are nice and I am glad that I can finally start to save up some money and be able to enjoy myself more for the first time in a long time. I am really happy to be getting some more work experience in the field of human resources because I have my BA degree in human resources management, which i finished back in 12/2010, and I have never worked as a recruiter before so this is a great way for me to get some new work experience, so I can either stay at my existing job or in a year or more maybe move into a higher paying job with a larger staffing agency!!

I did have a bad episode of either food poison or a stomach bug a few weekends back and I was throwing up and had diareah, fever, chills, it was horrible but it was like a 24 hour thing and I managed to avoid missing any work, which was good because it is a new job and I cant afford to take any time off just yet. I am alright now though.

So how are you doing? I hope you OV soon!!! I hope you can get in lots of too!! Good luck and baby dust to you!!

 

[scerena]

Your job sounds very good an you sound very happy
You could even get your miracle whilst you are not 100% focusing on babies as your new job is giving you a new focus
Good thing you got through your fever and didnt need any time off hun

So are you still ttc for now??

Yes I am doing good thank you just waiting and hoping to ovulate... We are bd'ing every other day hoping for the best really... Just need these stupid cycles to regulate more... Been lookimg into egg sharing at the moment, for a option x

 

[Little_Ratbag]

Hi all, what a brilliant thread! We have been trying to conceive #2 for about 13 months and I had my Lap/O.D done last Thursday, I am still just spotting (AF was due a day or two after the op)... is this something you guys experienced??I just want it to hurry up so we can get bd'ing!!

 

[scerena]

I am not sure hun as I had af during the op, I hope your spotting eases up soon so you can go back to ttc again
Hope you are recovering, did everything go fine during your op?x

 

[Little_Ratbag]

Well they seemed to think it went well, but I have to wait a month or so before my follow up appt with the specialist. The surgeon seemed confident when she gave me the run down after the op, but I was still very hazy and didn't ask all of my 100 questions that I had in my head when I went under. The general gist was that it was ENDO, and they threw in the O/D for good measure. I feel like taking some provera (have some left over from 5 cycles of Clomid I did last year), but sort of don't want to intervene with my system too much if it is trying to regulate itself naturally... ahhh the trials and tribulations huh!

 

[scerena]

I personally wouldnt take provera yet as you body need time to try and adjust/regulate after the OD...
Hard though right! I have been so tempted to take my clomid trying my hardest not to...

So are you still ttc for now??

Yeah, we are still TTC, but I am taking a very laid back approach now, I didnt even use any OPK's this cycle at all, but I OV pretty regular so I can guesstimate when I will most likely be OV'ing and me and DH did have sex a few times in my fertile window, but I am not getting my hopes up or anything anymore.

But I have also heard those stories about women getting pregnant once they stop trying so you never really know what is possible... My job takes up so much of my time so I hardly even think about TTC anymore so what will be will be i suppose!!!

 

[Little_Ratbag]

I know what you mean about the 'no trying' part, I have a girlfriend who tried on and off for like 4 years, had sex once within a cycle and BANG... PREGGERS!! It is amazing how much the brain mucks around with your body. When our angels are ready, they will come to this earth I say...

Scerena - yep, very hard not to take anything, the impatience is killing me!! haha. I am suprised that I have healed so quickly though, its great! Do you think this cycle is a right off if I never got AF? Or should we try anyway? I would hate to get pregnant and then miscarry because my lining was of bad quality...

 

[scerena]

wannabeprego- Yes I hear them stories too and hopefully you will be one of them not constantly worrying about everything will probably help your body to relax, if I knew roughly when I ovulate I would probably do the same, I guess I could still, I just need to learn to calm down lol! But hopefully fx'd this is when you get your surprise bfp

Little_Ratbag- Personally I wouldnt know, but I would try anyway? I tried the same cycle of the op, no harm in trying I think? Just dont test early thats what I have started doing then I dont see faint lines etc...I would definately try though???
When did your fs recommend trying again??
I was on af and tried that cycle- I ovulated cd32 and had a 45 day cycle...
Now waiting to ovulate this cycle grrrr...
I too healed pretty quickly which was nice, I guess we were the lucky ones
Now all we need is our

Hi Gals,

I also had my lap + OD yesterday. I am feeling very weak but no pain as of now. I have stopped taking pain killers but i feel so tired..
I am just hoping that i get my periods on my own and ovulate as well..

Baby dust to all ttc ladies.

Regards,
CandyGal

 

[scerena]

welcome to the thread
I hope you feel better soon, I kept up with my pain killers 'just in case' for a few days...

I hope you get your periods on your own

My first cycle was 45 days- ovulated cd32
this 2nd cycle I am cd30- no ovulation yet...

My fs has prescribed me clomid for my next cycle as your ovaries are ment to be more sensitive to the meds afer the drilling so hopefully it works fx'd

get plenty of rest and get better soon, dont do too much as it can set you back a bit so enjoy being looked after

 

[CandyGal]

Thanks scerena. ...
I am not doing any household activities as i have a excuse to make ...

Good luck with your ttc, hope you ovulate and get preg this cycle..

 

[scerena]

Thanks hun, you too.. Please keep us updated on how it all goes for you

fx'd you will be a lucky one and get your first cycle after the op

[CandyGal]

Thank you.. Could you please tell me if you had to go to the doc to remove the stiches ? My doc didnt tell me anything about it. I am not sure if the stiches will comeout automatically..

Hello Ladies,
I have my Lap/hysteroscopy and D&C this morning - they found stage 3 endo and removed it - my DR didn't even think I had it. Im feeling ok - back and tummy pain, bloated and tired. I am seriously hoping that this will do the trick for us. I haven't had a BFP since we had our son in 2003 and we have been trying on and off since before he was 2.
to all you ladies!

 

[scerena]

CandyGal- No mine were dissolvable ones, hopefully yours are too, surely if they wasnt he would of told you to get them taken out? I would phone just to confirm if they didn't tell you, but I am guessing that they are dissolvable??
Have you had a peek at your incisions yet??? I wouldnt for days the thought made me cringe lol!

Mas1118- I hope that the lap is just what you needed? I am glad they got rid of the endo for you that might just be what you needed in order to get your try and get as much rest as possible and not over do things, I also kept up with pain killers even when I felt ok just incase any pain or discomfort came back, hope that you have a speedy recovery
