Hello!
Yes, cramps have been steady everyday, they woke me up out of a dead sleep on Thursday too! my cycle is anywhere from 23 days to 30 (depending on when I ovulate). I also have a short Luteal Phase which concerns me. MY OGBYN gave me progesterone pills to take to regulate, but it states not to take them if you are pregnant or trying so I stopped taking them.
In reading my surgical report again, I noticed that he also removed two hemorrgatic cysts on both tubes. That must be where he said the blood was from. A Hemorragtic cyst bleeds into itself which is why I did not get diagnosed with endo. It also explains pain during intercourse and regular pelvic pain (which seems to be gone now). He then used an aragon beam to cut holes in the end of my tubes which left them patent by the end of surgery. I'm dying to know the results of your surgery ladies! We should compare surgical reports (you just need to call and request it).I wanna know how the tubes were opened?
I'm staying positive about the cramps. But I'm so used to AF coming to get me that I don't want to get my hopes up. Day 4 of cramps, slight, but cramps. No tender breasts. 9DPO....I will test on Tuesday if AF does not come. Every time I test, I get her the same day..weird..
LL- I think it's wonderful that your body knows what needs to be done- BD as much as possible once you heal. Keep that libido
Anne- Bleeding is normal. I bled lightly 4 days after my lap, it's normal. Thats why you usually wake up with a huge diaper on in the recovery room!
They do some major stuff in there. You can always call your Dr. to confirm, mine said it could last a few days or a few weeks. He did say it should not mess with your menses cycle. But, they are not always right. Mine was right on time after my lap. I chart using Fertility Friend and its always pin point my fertile days and when AF comes, luteal phase, etc. I love it. I put in my temps, my fertility monitor readings (OPK), and CM and it does the rest.
Stored eggs...lol...sorry for the confusion. My gf got off BC and got prego right away without trying. Her OBGYN told her it's common for women. I'm turning 35 in October so it's too late for me. I've never been on BC in my life nor have I ever had a scare of a BFP.
I have done research and a friend of mine is doing castor oil packs, maybe you should try that...I've thought about it but it appears it's more for cysts, fibroids, etc. Not high rates of unblocking tubes at distal end, by the uterus it has shown success. It can't hurt to try a little old fashion Chinese Medicine...lol
A fibroid should be removed, IMO. My cousin had one, got it removed, went to Mexico and 2 shots of tequila later was pregnant with her first son.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
