Moving on to LAP surgery, then IVF

I've only posted a few post on this board, and felt like I didn't belong here...but after today, I think I might....Well, I went into the RE for the first time today, I had HSG last Monday, and was told by OB/GYN that only my left tube was blocked, so I went in very hopeful. Got into exam room, did ultrasound, and Dr. said the right was also blocked. She looked at the Film from HSG to confirm. She wants to do LAP surger, and then most likely move on to IVF. I'm going through EVERY emotion there is right now!! I'm so thankful for my DH! He is being wonderful, and I often think he doesn't deserve to go through this too. UGH I know this isn't the end of the road, and there are people in a lot worse situations, but it's still hard. YKWIM?

Re: Moving on to LAP surgery, then IVF
Good luck.
Tip about the lap surgery: I was bloated for days afterward. Invest in some comfy pants...maybe with a drawstring that you can wear loose.
this. i totally stole my husbands scrub pants during both the lap recovery and during ivf.
i know it is overwhelming right now, but it actually is much better than continue trying things that will never work for you. it sounds like with ivf, you have a fighting chance that you haven't had before!
this board is a great resource and we will help you. you are stronger than you think.
Praying unceasingly for a miracle. ALL welcome!

Oh, good tip!
It's colace or peri colace. It's an OTC stool softener.
I had my surgery on a Tuesday and went back to work still bloated on the following Monday.
I did it two times already and it was ok. I was sore for a week or so but able to carry on with normal activities. The colace idea is great!
I had my lap on a Thursday and ended up needing to take Monday off too. I had quite a bit removed though - both tubes, a right rudamentary horn, some endometriosis and a large ovarian cyst.
Good luck to you!!
