I am back in!
US with specialist today revealed no hole in uterus. A small defect on scar but nothing that needs an op.
A call afterwards confirmed transfer could be Tuesday (5 day blast).
Long debate....... We're going for it!
Juniper- I think I'm cd16? I was 1 day behind you I think.
At least we have a chance this month!
Hi all, I have been here but just not having much to say! after our last BFP from an FET last month we didn't have any eggs left so we are having to wait now until August to be able to afford a stim cycle. We are doing ivf due to my low AMH and our FS didn't expect anything else but I got reading and scared myself a bit with some of the symptoms of endometriosis and so he said he is happy to do a laparoscopy if we really want. We decided it would be best to investigate everything before starting a new cycle and while we have the time. We made the decision on Wednesday to go ahead and were told the waiting list was 4-6 weeks, which was ok, got a phone call today and i go in next Wednesday wowsers how quick was that?! There was a cancellation!! I am freaking out already! But I suppose it is better to get it over and done with! So that is my long story, sorry!
Kel, thanks for the update! Wow, that is quick for the lap! I've had to wait at least 4 weeks both times! If you want some tips to prepare for the recovery, have a look at my blog (link in signature). At the right hand side of the blog, there's a link called "Laparoscopy Checklist". I've used it both times to prepare. It's a long list, but you can pick and choose which tips to follow.
Oh my gosh Juniper, I am freaking out more after reading that list is the pain and constipation etc more likely if they actually have to remove any problems?
Honestly, I didn't find either so bad that I wasn't willing to do it again. You wouldn't do it for fun, but it's bearable. I didn't even take the prescribed dosage of pain killers (didn't need them and they can make the constipation worse). And I didn't have any problems with constipation when I started the stool softeners as soon as I got home. The recovery time does vary depending on how much work they do. My first lap they removed a lot of endo and I was sore for 8 days; my second lap there wasn't much re-growth and I felt better after just 2 days. If they find nothing, you should be right after 1-2 days and you go into your cycle confident that you've checked everything. If they do find something, then it's a good thing you did the lap, right?
Thanks Juniper, I think sometimes I read myself into a little panic, just a little yep you are right I just know I would kick myself if we didn't do it and then cycled a few more times and then did it only to find there was a problem and we had just wasted time and precious embryos. Thanks for the reassurance and encouraging words I think sometimes it is good to hear that someone else is thinking the same thing I am!
Hi lovely ladies sorry I have been MIA my dp has been home finally but unfortunately has now gone back to work so hope fully will be home again in 2 to 3 weeks.
I will have to read back and catch up on every body
Juniper could you please put me down for cycle day 8 today.
AFM: As I said before I was worried as the last 3 cycles with injectables I have been triggered on day 7 which I think is way too early. My acupuncturist put me on some
herbs to help with this and for the first time my fs has decided to wait till the follies grow a bit more as they are not as big as before which means I will be getting triggered
on Monday which will be day 11 so herbs are working and i'm happier with that.
Really hope everyone is going well and sending you all lots of baby dust xxxx

Kel, I have also had 2 laps done. First was diagnostic and the 2nd I had a lot of endo removed. I also didn't need pain killers for either as the pain wasn't that bad... You'll be fine! It's worth it for the peace of mind...
