Thanks Renstar and principessa.

I feel a bit better about it this morning. Still anxious, but I figure it's always good to face your fears and then this will be something I won't ever have to be afraid of again (that's what people are telling me anyway! )

principessa, my dr did say that any kind of surgery to the ovary can stimulate ovulation, so she's hoping that this will be a benefit from my surgery. Only my right ovary is polycystic but she didn't mention touching it- although she did say, and I gave consent, that if when she gets in there and sees any minor things she can fix she will do it (any endo etc.). During a different conversation she talked about drilling after no success with ovulation inducers so maybe there's an order to things.

One thing I forgot to ask is whether it is ok to be taking metformin. I'm sure I've read somewhere that you should stop it a few days prior to surgery. I must ring her to find out.

Well, I'm 7dpo. She told to do a HPT before the surgery and although I know the dermoid has to come out one day, after a baby would be much more agreeable to me! So fingers crossed!

Principessa- you test today right??? I really hope this is it for you . Have you had any symptoms? All the best!!
