I don't have any personal experience, but my thoughts will be with you!

Good luck tomorrow! I've had one (cyst removal caused by Clomid during my IUI cycle) and it's a breeze, but you may have bad shoulder pain afterwards from the gas. Just a forewarning because I was warned ahead of time and glad that I was, because that pain came out of nowhere and I'm glad I knew it was common/normal. I had to take pain meds for that. You'll be back to your normal self in just a few days.
Refresh my memory...what is this surgery for? Good luck!
-
No personal experience here, either, but just wanted to send big hugs and positive, encouraging thoughts!!!
-
Will be thinking of you!! I've got one scheduled for next month so I want to hear how it goes!
-
Hoping it's uneventful and painless for you
-
@CatchAFallingStar: good luck tomorrow!
-
It is a little scary, but I can tell you from personal experience, it was a breeze!
-
No personal experience. But best wishes to you!
-
I was terrified, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. It was over quickly and I recovered within a few days. Good luck!!!

I had a dermoid tumor removed a number of years back. Right after the procedure, I was a little nauseated- and when they asked if I wanted to go home- I told them not until I had another bag of IV fluids and phenergan. I felt MUCH better after that.
Miralax helped with some constipation afterwards, but overall- I was a-okay!
Do you have a heating pad to help ease that gas pain that Jenn mentioned?
-
Good luck sweetie! I hope this does the trick and allows your body once and for all to get pregnant!
-
Good luck! Pick your favorite meal to have when you get home
-
Good luck!

Good luck!!

How are you feeling??!

i hope it went well!

Just wanted to fill you all in. Surgeon found that I have stage 4 endometriosis, which is the worst (as you probably know). He removed all that he could find. He said it was blocking the eggs from coming out of the ovaries. So without the surgery, it would have been impossible to achieve pregnancy. He said it's now going to be possible and he will know on my follow-up if he thinks we should try naturally, IUI or IVF. I'm so grateful to have found the problem and I'm very hopeful. I'm in lots of pain, but mentally and emotionally feeling so very content.
Thank you so much for your support!!

@CatchAFallingStar: Wow. I'm glad your surgery went well. Fingers crossed you get BFP next cycle!
-
Glad it went okay and you are feeling okay.
-
@CatchAFallingStar: Wow! I'm so sorry you are dealing with this, but its amazing to find out what is going on and to fix the issue. FX for a BFP soon for you.
-
@CatchAFallingStar: I'm so glad your surgery went well! Thank goodness you were so proactive!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: Just curious, did you have any idea you had endo?
-
@CatchAFallingStar: I am so glad that you have some answers now. It sucks, and I can tell you that I was very angry for a while after my surgery... but in the end I am so glad I went through with it because I would never have been able to have DD without the surgery. I know exactly what you are going through, and I hope that you will find peace and get KU very soon! ((hugs)) I hope you feel better soon.
ETA: You might also ask your doctor for a reasonable timeline to try naturally.,.. my doctor gave us 6 months to try on our own before moving to IVF (she thought IUI was pointless in our situation). She was afraid that if we waiting any longer than that, we risked my endo re-growing the blockages we had cleared and putting us back at square one. We got our BFP the first possible month after my lap!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: I'm so sorry that you are stage 4 but I am happy to see that you still have options for pregnancy. I pray it will be the least expensive and quickest route possible and no matter what I hope to see a healthy baby in your belly soon. Hugs.
-
@catchafallingstar I'm so glad that you now have some answers. Best wishes for a smooth recovery and a BFP soon.
-
Glad to hear you finally have some answers and caught the endo. Hope you're feeling better soon!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: So glad it went well and that your doctor was able to do what he could!! Thinking so many positive thoughts for you!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: So glad that you got some answers!! Hoping that you will get that bfp in the near future!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: so glad it went well and that you have some answers now
-
@CatchAFallingStar: So sorry you have endo, but I'm glad he removed as much as he could. Hopefully, that should help! Sorry you are in pain.
Hope some pain meds help! I'm glad at least you got some answers and hopefully you'll have a plan in place really soon!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: I am so glad you got some answers! Sending lots of healing vibes.

@littlek: Yes, I've had horrible cramps since I was a teen, so I've always suspected it.

Thank you so much for all of your kind words!!
