    i'm not much help with the hospital subject as i went private hosp with health insurance but believe me i was still a whack of money out-of-pocket ... and my referal was via my Gyno i was already seeing as i too had ' unexplained fertility ' ... BUT i just wanted to mention with recovery i didn't listen to my GP & Gyno as they suggested taking a week off and i took 4 days off but ended up going to work not feeling great that day (which i had stitches taken out that morning with GP before going to work) and i ended up going home the same morning i arrived at work. Otherwise recovery is pretty good and healing was super quick, can hardly see a scar

    I was only under for 30mins and could eat a horse when i woke whereas my sister who had similar OP was under 1hour and she was vomiting not long later but that was cause she had a reaction to the drugs but she was told that's not common.

    Anyway, all the very best & hope all turns out great ... it's a good feeling as my Gyno said " Gave your pipes a good clean " ... and then you feel more hopeful for a bubba to come

    Great responses and info, thankyou wonderful ladies I am pretty nervous about having surgery, but i will feel better knowing a) there is no endo/scarring/blockages or b) that they have removed/fixed/treated endo/scarring/blockages and we can keep trying. Will do a search for lap and hysto stories.

    Feeb, I have a really good gp, she's an ob and she used to do shared maternity care with the RWH, so hopefully she can just refer me directly :fingerscrossed:

    I am pretty nervous about having surgery.
    I promise you it by far has been the ' easiest ' (for a better word) surgery i have ever had *i'm serious* , so don't put too much worry into it ok! Treat it like a different way to go about having a great sleep but lol you won't remember having that great sleep !! You will be really SUPER fine, it's easy surgery for these Docs as i was told
