Surgery went fine! (Lap)

zookbridezookbride member
in Trouble TTC

I know I'm up waaaay late. I've been sleeping most of the day so now I'm not so tired. I figured I'd update you all since you were all so kind to wish me luck and give me advice.

I have to say I wasn't nervous in the slightest and can only say its b/c I've read so many of your experiences that I felt comfortable in knowing what to expect. 

So my RE did find some mild endo on the back of my uterus and both ovaries (the worst being on my right ovary which makes sense since that's where most of my pain was). She got it all and said I should be in good shape. Everything else (tubes, shape of ute, kidneys and whatnot) all looked fine. I got some cool photos to boot!

Recovery has been good. I did get nauseous in my recovery room but besides a very itchy bellybutton incision and mild pain in my right shoulder, I'd have to say recovery has been a LOT easier than I was thinking it'd be. So far the worst part of all this was that horrid bowel prep I had to do Thursday. Talk about feeling wretched! 

 Thanks for the support ladies! xo

    Ugh, I know exactly how you feel!  I had to do one Tues, and it was 10x worse than anything post-surgery. 

    Glad you got the endo out and everything went well!

     I guess I was fortunate, I didn't have to do any of the bowel prep.  

    I am so glad to hear that everything went well. So what is the next step for you after recovery? I hope your recovery continues to go well and that your RE puts you on the road to BFP very soon!

    I am really late to this post.  

    Even though endo isn't fun at least they found some and she was able to clean it all up!  I am hoping that you can move forward and get that BFP :)
