    Kel, trust me when I say you're not the only one to find herself in this situation. Especially when you had no symptoms (although IF itself is actually a symptom)! Imagine how many other women with no symptoms never get the lap done! I had my lap after 4 IVF, but it only took so long for me because our first FS kept refusing to do it, so we had to change to a new FS to get it done... We did IVF#5 two months after the lap and that gave us DD. Given that you had so much work done, expect to need about 7-10 days to start feeling more like yourself. My first lap I needed 8 days (my FS estimated 3-5 days) after he removed a lot of endo (it covered half my bowel, among other places). Hopefully the damage to your bowel isn't as bad as mine (I was told I'll need a bowel resection one day, and I've heard the recovery for those can be like 6 weeks!). Let us know how you go with your follow-up appt, but in the meantime, rest up and focus on recovery.

    Pandabutt, hi and welcome. Since I responded to your other thread, I won't repeat myself here. If you'd like to be added to The List (just above your post), just let me know.

    TT40, hi and welcome to you as well. Sounds like a good plan. We started TTC#2 as soon as PPAF arrived and managed a quick (but short-lived) BFP, so FX you'll also get a quick (and healthy) BFP too!
