Trouble TTC

post lap surgery question about cramps

First AF after laparoscopic surgery to remove indometriosis, and the cramping is here with a vengeance. How were your cramps during your first cycle, and during the cycles after? I am very disappointed as I thought this was going to go away.

    I didn't have bad cramps, but then my tolerance for pain is high. It's your first since surgery, so give it some time. Maybe it will improve in other ways?

  • With my first LAP, I got my period 2 days after surgery and didn't really notice a difference with it b/c I still had some pain from surgery. For the following AFs, the only difference I noticed was they seemed a day shorter and most appeared lighter than normal. I also noticed more CM with each cycle. With my 2nd Lap (May 30), AF showed the day before surgery. After surgery I was able to wear a thin liner and had no cramping whatsoever, just really light spotting here and there. Hope it gets better for you.
