Hiya Lisa!
Welcome to the forum and this post!!!
I was diagnosed with PCOS in May this year and had laparoscopy in June
I also had hysteroscopy - not quite sure what that was for though
It's a full anasthetic procedure but only takes 20 minutes or so. I was lucky and didn't have any nasty anasthetic side effect. BUT....my lower tummy did ache quite badly for about an hour after the procedure. But nothing strong painkillers couldn't cope with.
Also, I was REALLY uncomfortable in my shoulders for about 4-5 days where the gas was coming out. But it wasn't horrible.
You will also get bright blue discharge for a couple of days - that's the dye coming out of you
All in all I was more worried than I should have been. Mine revealed healthy tubes and womb but VERY large policystic ovaries
Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions x
Good Luck to everyone else, ladies
