I just saw this. Yes, the endo caused us to be unable to successfully conceive for over 8 months. We stopped trying (a personal decision, not medical) way before my diagnosis. But my doctor believes that the endo is to blame for our unsuccessful 8 months of TTC two years ago. The surgery was 5 weeks ago and the first week and a half I was pretty sore and out of commission. We started TTC a little over 3 weeks ago, and I'm pretty sure I'm 10 or 11 DPO. (Not positive I O'd, just going off of CM). I'd say I'm completely back to normal from the surgery and I feel much better as far as endo pain goes. Hope my story was helpful! Best of luck to you! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2611840 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 08:17:14 +0000 Winnie13 2611840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@doxielove: I had a lap done last Nov. It was with my gyno and he was checking for scarring, polyps, etc. He also did a HSG while I was under. He found nothing and my tubes were open. My recovery took about 5 days to feel back to normal. The pain was very minimal. It was more sore than anything else. My gyno said that many women get pregnant within 3 months of HSG and the lap. Unfortunately, I was not one of those women. Hoping you find some success with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2611582 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 11:40:45 +0000 MrsBeluga 2611582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my BFFs had this done. After having it done she got pregnant right away (within 3 months), then when they decided to try for #2 they got pregnant the first month (she had just weaned and just got her period back). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2611554 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 10:54:09 +0000 doxielove 2611554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsD2442: Did the endo have any impact on your fertility? (Are you/were you TTC at the time of the lap)? How long was your recovery? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2610209 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 19:31:43 +0000 Bernieboo 2610209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lap to diagnose endometriosis 6+ years ago... It was a pretty easy recovery, but I did rest a lot the first couple of days after (i did it on Christmas break from college). The worst part was honestly the bowel prep and then feeling bloated for about a week after. I had a serious reduction in my endo symptoms for a good 4-5 years! Now, I'm 32 weeks pregnant! I didn't have any fertility related adhesions (on the uterus or ovaries), all my adhesions were on my bowel, so my previously diagnosed IBS was basically gone after the lap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2610108 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 16:04:47 +0000 MrsD2442 2610108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BlueWolverine: I had a laparoscopy in late July. I have relatively severe endometriosis, and had a rough recovery from my procedure. Glad yours wasn't so bad!! </p> <p>@doxielove: any specific questions I could ask for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2609942 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 12:53:47 +0000 Rescuemom10 2609942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had 2 laps. They weren't too terrible. Uncomfortable. Results were OK. I just need to be monitored a little more often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2609906 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 12:20:32 +0000 doxielove 2609906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping an older thread - any new experiences with laparoscopy?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2378970 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 15:05:23 +0000 KCCC4LIFE 2378970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lap and they removed scar tissue and some cysts from my ovaries...havent had another lap since but i may have to do it and then start IUI in Feb but im praying we wont have to....it was easy however me and hospital drugs dont mix to well plus i was told i may wke up with 1 less ovary so i went under the knife in panic and pain...when i woke up i didnt see my wedding ring and started getting upset not thinking that i had taken off all jewellery to give DH during surgery... i couldnt do anything for 2 days but was back to the office on day 3 just doing very light duties and answering calls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2217733 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 23:27:56 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2217733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad it went well! i've had 2 for my stage 4 endo with lots of scare tissue and cysts rwmoved so my recoveries we painful. Hope this does the trick for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2207465 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 12:39:17 +0000 blackbird 2207465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BlueWolverine: it's an endometriosis thing-the tissue grows outside your uterus and it can cause other organs to fuse together. But mine was terrible!!! Hope you recover quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2207437 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 11:32:17 +0000 BlueWolverine 2207437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Yikes! I didn't know that your bladder or intestines could get stuck your uterus. Mine was done with the laser as well - easy peasy so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2207435 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 11:30:56 +0000 BlueWolverine 2207435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: That's awesome to hear!<br /> @TrailRunner: Thanks for this. I don't feel too bad right now, but my husband keeps telling me not to push it. He had taken our toddler to our friend's house to play so I can rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2206951 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 14:15:48 +0000 LAZB 2206951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad it went pretty well. I had one three years ago which discovered stage 4 endometriosis. I have had two successful pregnancies since then. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2206939 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:57:17 +0000 TrailRunner 2206939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BlueWolverine: the worst part for mine was the IV too! I seriously almost passed out it hurt so bad. I will say that I thought I felt so much better afterwards and tried to travel for a work conference a couple days afterwards...yeah, big mistake. I felt HORRIBLE. So rest up! I had a lot of scar tissue removed tho and a few cysts I didn't know about, so that might have made a difference. Also, if you are having trouble going to the bathroom there is this tea called smoove moves the pharmacist recommended me. It worked wonders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2206923 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:44:32 +0000 ms.line 2206923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BlueWolverine: Oh no, poor veins! I hate when they don't get it the first time. Glad your lap went well otherwise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2206909 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:25:49 +0000 BlueWolverine 2206909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! It was this morning and was so easy. Apparently had endometriosis, but not bad. Doc removed the tissue. The worst part, honestly, was having the IV put in. I have notoriously hidden/evasive veins, and it took five different people including six different sticks to get it in. The actual anesthesiologist had to put it in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2206673 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:11:48 +0000 blackbird 2206673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had two laps. My first lap was hard because I had a lot of tissue and a few cysts removed, plus my bladder and intestine were stuck to my uterus. My second was done with a laser and was a piece of cake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2206655 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 10:54:53 +0000 MrsKRB 2206655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had a laparoscopy, but I did have a hyst. Have you had a HSG yet? It's pretty similar except way less uncomfortable. My doctor found a fibroid during the hyst. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2206520 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 09:29:58 +0000 ms.line 2206520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't, but I'm bumping for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-laproscopy#post-2205830 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 19:03:13 +0000 BlueWolverine 2205830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going in tomorrow morning for laparoscopy and hysteroscopy to see if there's anything preventing pregnancy before we move forward with a medicated IUI. Anyone else had these done? What was your experience? Thanks! </p>
