Laparoscopy/hysteroscopy/ovarian drilling...

[CandyGal]

@scerena - I did look at my belly button incisions, it feels bad to see a lot of stiches inside .. i hope i get ok soon..

I have got my periods, its def not spotting, and its not very heavy.so i would assume that i am having my periods.

Is it normal to get your periods within 2 days after the surgery ?? Today would be my 2nd day and i will have to take clomid.. so i am very confused

a. Is this period ?
b. should i take clomid ? my doc said i should get my periods within 4-6 weeks and that i should be taking clomid...

now i am really confused.... any suggestions?

 

[MrsHowley81]

Hi Candy Firstly yes it is definitely your period mine came within a couple of days after my op and was also very very heavy, and lasted a few days longer as well. If your doctor said to take clomid on your next cycle then yes start taking it. Good Luck xxx

 

[CandyGal]

Hi MrsHowley- Thanks for replying .
I am just wondering if i take clomid now then will by body get tuned to eating clomid everytime to ovulate ?? I am unable to contact my doctor today as its weekend .....


Did you ovulate naturally after your OD ?

 

[MrsHowley81]

Yes But my issue is tubal, so I always ovulate , I really have no clue now what you should do. Maybe you should try the hospital xx

 

[scerena]

ladies,
Candy- I ovulated the first cycle after the OD, I was on my af cd2/3 when I had the op, then I had a natural period cd45 and I am now cd 30something and no ovulation, so taking clomid next cycle when af shows up.
I would take it if your doc told you too, but it is entirely your choice

 

[Little_Ratbag]

Back again ladies! well its coming up to 4 weeks since my op, AF is well and truly due but no sign of her yet. My ovulation pain was really bad after the op, so hoping AF won't be bad too (don't like my chances). Did a HPT today just in case but BFN, think I could be testing a little under a week early, so we will see

CandyGal, I am in the same predicament as you Re: Clomid. Have you come any closer to a decision about this? I have my follow-up appt with the specialist on Friday, and this is one of the things I will be asking her, so I will let you know the response if you like?

Scerena, bugger that you haven't ovulated yet, you must be just dying for this cycle to end so you can get onto the clomid huh?

 

[scerena]

Sorry about your bfn little_ratbag hopefully you are just testing early... I had strong o pains first cycle after op my af wasnt too bad though really... gl for a bfp within the next few days...
Well yes so annoyed but I am taking provera to bring on my period now so within about a week I should have my period so I can start my clomid at last

 

[CandyGal]

Hi Little_ratbag,

I didnt take clomid last cycle. I was feeling very sick after the surgery so i didnt want to take clomid and mess with my body.
Btw i called up the nurse to book an appt for follicular scan, the nurse told me that if you did bleed immediately then it might not be your true period ...

itseems the spontaneous bleed will behave very much like periods .. oh god!! i was so shatterd today "but" i was thankful that i didnt take clomid and create more confusion...

so "please" talk to your doctor and confirm if its your true period and only then take clomid...

I hope it helps.. all the best to you!!

Hi I am due for lap next week. Both my tubes are blocked. Has anyone had any success here with lap trying to unblock the tubes? Thanks in advance.

 

[scerena]

Anne24- i had a littl mucus plug blocking one of my tubes which they successfully removed so I now have two tubes- good luck and let us know how you get on

How are all you other lovely ladies??

Thanx Scerena for the reply I am not sure if you are familiar with these terminologies but my HSG report shows my left tube having a cornual block(towards the end of the uterus) and the right tube showed no spillage. Hopefully lap will help me open them Also if you don't mind me asking does the doctor ask to abstain from bd immediately after lap? I am doing my lap on CD9 and I normally ovulate around CD 12,13,14. Even if one tube is unblocked from the lap, I don't want to miss the first cycle as they say one is super fertile within the first few months of HSG or lap. And I will keep you all posted about how the lap went.

 

[MrsHowley81]

I now have a date for my next lap which is 21st of May, so much more relaxed this time round

Hello there ladies.

So I had my follow-up appt yesterday. She pretty much confirmed all the things I already knew, so no REAL surprises. They couldn't get all the endo, as some is embedded into my muscle wall, she said this wouldn't pose any problem to conceiving though. The ovarian drilling was a success and she also told me that I had D&C (I orginally didn't think that had been done). She said this would explain the lack of AF. So from here on in I am going on the clomid again, she wants me to take 25mg to begin with, to see how my body reacts, then I have to have the 21 day blood test to see if we proceed with this moving forward. I am kind of happy that she has put me on it, as it will leave nothing 'up to chance' She is still concerned about OH's count, and has said that if after 3 months we don't have success, we will need to REALLY think about IVF ... gosh I hope it doesn't come to that.

So that is it in a nutshell ladies, and to top it off I think AF is arriving, so we can get things moving. YAY!

Scerena - any 'movement at the station' for you hun? My doc said to take the provera after 2 months if AF hadn't arrived yet, but looks like I won't have to worry about that anymore.

Candy - Are you waiting to take your Clomid after AF, or did you end up taking it? What day of the cycle are you up to?

 

[scerena]

Anne- my doc didnt tell me wether I could or could not start ttc afterwards but we did anyway as I didnt wanna miss any chance...

MrsHowley- Well done with going through with it all again please let us know how it goes, not too long to wait Thats my oh's birthday!

Little_Ratbag- yay for the clomid, when will you start it? I am waiting for af to start my clomid! Yeh my doc told me not to take the provera but this cycle was turning long so I decided to just take it lol!

Candy- How are you doing??

AFM- took my last provera pill tonight so currently just waiting on af to arrive and then onto the clomid

 

[Little_Ratbag]

Scerena - CD1 for me TODAY, so I will be taking the clomid days 5-7. I am excited!
I have to say there is no pain, so think I am one of the lucky ones, but it is definately heavier than before. Hope you get yours soon, so you get be on clomid the same time as me!

 

[scerena]

If you are taking yours cd5-9 i will be probably taking mine the same time as doing min cd2-6, so hopefully af comes in the next few days and then we can be clomid buddies fx'd (last year when i took provera af came no more than 5days after from what I can remember)
Sorry what dose are you taking again?
Are you havin your cycles monitored?

Hi Ladies,

I am doing good but a little confused. I cant really make out if i am ovulating or not..please read below.. I have also posted a new thread "LH surge" on the same topic.


Yesterday i took my ovulation test and noticed that the test line was darker than the control line.I took the test around 11:30 and then at 2:30 [ both tests with different sample showed that the test line was darker] , then i tested again at 3:30 and later in the evening at 7 [ but here the test line was lighter than the control line].

This morning i tested twice , at 8:30 and at 9:30 am, the test line was super dark compared to the control line. I also noticed that the test lines dont disappear for a very long time.
Can you please tell me what does all this mean ? Why do i see an increase in LH surge and then i dont see it.

I also want to mention that, 2 months ago i faced something similar to this. When i took a ovulation test using digital ovulation predictor kit and noticed that i got a smiley symbol [ only once] , it didnt appear after that at al and during the scan the nurse told me that the follicles have not grown and my progestrone blood test revealed that i didnt ovulate. Can there be a surge in LH for various other reasons as well ?

What do you all think? Have you experienced something like this??

 

[scerena]

I have heard that sometimes your body gears up for ovulation but the egg doesnt release, not sure if thats whats happening? It might be that you might ovulate soon or get a real surge soon?
Do you take your temperature? X

 

[CandyGal]

thank you scerena..
i tested thrice today and just got postive only once in the morning.. i hope i get real surge soon..
No i dont temp coz my body is always a little warm[ hot]... so i dont think BBT will help me..I have my appt on 10th April. i hope they scan and let me know whats happening....

 

[Little_Ratbag]

Hi Scerena, yep, taking mine 5-9, only 25mg and I need to then go have the 21 day blood test after the first cycle, because last time I took the clomid it almost overstimulated my ovaries, causing Twin/multiple birth concern. So it will be interesting to see how I go. I have decided not to bother with Temping or OPK's, I am just going to BD every 2nd day from CD10-20, that was there is nothing left up to chance, and I don't have to be worried that we are not getting onto it on time etc. Will you be charting this cycle do you think?

Candy- I unfortunately can't help, as I don't have a lot of luck with OPK's, my positives stay positive for days. This may have changed since the op, but I am not even going to worry about them anymore. Hope you get a resolution to your problem though
