Secondary IF

Totally shocked

I had my lap today and it was TOTALLY different than last time. 

Three years ago it was quick, one single incision, and fairly painless (more gas pain than anything) with my OB... not to mention she didn't find a single thing. 

This time I feel like I got ran over by a Mac truck, have two incisions in my abdomen, and was so nauseous they gave me two different IV drugs, oral drugs and a patch behind my ear.

The biggest difference was when I woke up and my DH told me it wasn't "nothing" this time around. My RE removed some endo and was hopeful that he unblocked BOTH of my tubes. Yep they were both blocked. :(  

I feel great that we have an "answer" but so defeated because not in a million years did I or my doctor think this was going on. Did I just waist this past year and all of my chances? We have almost zero insurance coverage left, don't have it to pay out of pocket, and my RE knows it. He even mentioned to DH that he was going to see if we qualify for the free/reduced study. I just pray we do! I'm so so sad!!!

I have my post op on June 3rd so any thoughts and prayers are appreciated. If any of you have any lap recovery suggestions too I would greatly appreciate it? I feel so lost... When do we all get off this crappy ride. :(
